I searched and didn't see this. I didn't know they did this last year too. Good for Applebees!

It's late and I gotta hit the hay, but spread the word.

Did you search for "Applebees"? Spread the word.

I think Outback Steakhouse is offering a free Bloomin’ Onion and drink to all veterans too.

Nice that you can present award paperwork. (I wouldn’t carry my DD214 for someone to nab my SS#.) Not to mention no one would recognize my service pics.

The requirements are pretty broad and easy which is nice.

I searched titles and keywords for a variety of words (including applebees) and only found the thread from 2008.

My understanding is that some Applebees are not participating. The one in Marquette, Michigan is not participating.

My post clearly states “participating Applebees only”.

We drove by Applebees hoping to get lunch, but seeing the line out the door we just kept on driving. Not that I’m complaining...I figured it would be crowded...As a vet I really appreciate the gesture, and I will make sure to patronize this fine establishment in the future.

I went. The wait was an hour long, but so what?

It wasn’t about saving $7 on my meal, it was patonizing a business that was showing appreciation to Vets.

The staff was friendly and gracious and I really appreciated what they did for us.
