    Not free… but worth mentioning…. LANDRY’S restaurants….Bubba Gump, Landry’s Seafood, Morton’s, McCormick & Schmick’s, Oceanaire, Rainforest Cafe, Saltgrass Steak House, Chart House… and others. $25 to join their Landry’s Select rewards. The day after you register your card online you get a $25 off coupon. (No min purchase)… THEN… every year for your birthday you get another $25 reward!!! (Only pay the membership cost once!!) Plus, you get priority seating, no need for reservations. Once went when thr wait was an hour, and get seated next available table.

    Wow!!!  This is just brilliant!  The time you have taken to put all this together for everyone is amazing, well done you!  This is a little gold mine here.  It just goes to show that if you take the time you can find some real bargains out there.  Unfortunately I am not in the US, but at least it gives me the names of the various chains which we have over here in UK and I can then look on their sites here in the UK and see what offers they have.  Thanks a million for sharing this info 🙂

      Hi Debbie, thanks so much for sharing! It’s a great idea to see which of the places on this list are available to you locally and check to see if they offer similar things in your area. I hope you find some great local offers!

    Joining reward programs and getting loyalty bonuses can save you a lot of money. These restaurants all seem to be in America, so would there be similar programs in Europe? Do you think that getting free food as a bonus might add to the overweight problem that so many countries seem to be faced with?

    My local supermarket has a reward program that actually give me cash discounts on my grocery bill, which is fantastic.

      I’m not familiar with European rules, regulations, or offers, but in America, it has definitely become more common to see bonus offers for signing up for emails or a loyalty program. I think obesity issues come from something other than free bonus food offers. Hopefully, these offers help people to save some money at the places they enjoy.

    Hello there, Alyce. This is a very informative post! There are so many deals out there and it is difficult to keep up and find them all. But I think you pretty much did a lot of the work for us. I never even would have guessed that some of these places would even offer a special deal. I am going to have to save this page for future references. Thanks for compiling all of these together.

    Wow, I would sign up for all of these reward programs! I’m a huge foodie. I’ll take any opportunity at getting great, free food. I’m surprised that I have basically never heard of any of these reward programs, which makes me wonder if the programs are available to me. Do you know if these restaurants are for the U.S. only? Or do a lot of these reward programs carry over internationally if the shops have franchises in different countries?

      Hi Kevin, The restaurant rewards above are for restaurants in the US, but if you do recognize any that are available to you locally, you may want to check their local programs to see what offers they may have in your region. Best of luck!

    Wow! I haven’t been to Ikea since the pandemic. Before all the chaos happened I loved going there. Anyhow, I never knew Ikea offered free tea or coffee everyday. That’s pretty cool. Have they always offered tea or coffee? I just remember Ikea having free kids meals every Tuesday. And I believe they would watch children at a certain height for about an hour or two. I also knew in the women bathroom they had free diapers if the mom forgot hers and a free breastfeeding chair but, I never knew about the free coffee or tea. No wonder Ikea is one of my favorite stores to visit.  

    Another thing, I didn’t know that Piccadilly’s, Sizzlers, Ryans was all still in business. Where I live they all went out of business. hmmm..that’s interesting…

    By the way, to add to your list Texas Roadhouse offers a military discount at participating locations.

      Hi Lakisha, thanks for the tip about the military discount at Texas Roadhouse! 

      I’m not sure when Ikea started offering their guests free coffee or tea with each visit, but it has at least been an offer for a few years. It’s nice to enjoy that free perk before the long walk through the store!

    Thanks for sharing this collection of restaurant programs with signup bonuses that include free food. I was hoping to find some that were in my area, but these seem to all be restaurant offers in the USA. This will be perfect for traveling as a way to save some money while experiencing American restaurants and dining offers.

I cannot express how much of a delight it would be to run into a restaurant and get paid or basically eat for free. I really appreciate this a lot for a way to eat well while minding budget goals. I will be looking into some of these free food offers today!

    Hello there, thanks for sharing this awesome article as it is a great help to the public, plus it has been of help to me personally. These sign up bonuses are mostly very good, actual bonuses that have value (that people want). I would like to try out one or two of the very nicest restaurants – but also would love to check out a number from the casual dinner section.

    Regards and thanks, David.

    I am not familiar with rewards signup bonuses. You did a nice job putting up this list together, now I understand what rewards signup bonuses are.

    These bonus are really nice bonuses. Especially IKEA. The IKEA loyalty program is really really generous; I couldn’t imagine that I can get a free drink every day without purchasing anything, just for signing up! This is fabulous.

    Hi there. Thanks for sharing this article concerning quick rewards: signup bonuses at restaurants. Of a truth, there are so many loyalty programs nowadays and it becomes hard to know which ones will payoff, and how long it’s going to take to start earning rewards. I commend you for taking your time to recommend the best for us.

    These are too good to be true

    This was a great post, I shop and eat at many places listed on your site. I was amazed cause I never knew that they offered loyalty programs,I’m definitely going to imminently sign up. 

    Thank you for the tips on these great reward offers and the quick navigation is great. You can find something for everyone, I like the discounts and the veteran hats are going to be great for the members of my family that served in the military.

    Hello there!

    Well, that is a surprise and good news for people who like going to restaurants! These rewards have a positive impact on people’s savings, and also give them occasions to discover more interesting meals & foods, also enjoying them for free where this applies. And these discounts & free offers obviously apply to a great variety of places and meals, so that many people with different tastes will be content and glad about taking these rewards.

    Of course, first of all you have to be a person who loves going out, and likes visiting restaurants & dining places on a regular basis. But since many of us do so, then many of us will enjoy. The more the customers who are fine and pleased, the more successful the businesses will be.

    Best regards to BestRewards!

    Wow! I didn’t know so many companies and stores, bars, etc. are giving away so many gifts for signing up for their email list. Can you imagine if you would do that online? I mean sending tangible products after you receive subscriber? Just joking.

    Digitalization made it possible to use the “giveaway” strategy to build your email list. All that is a prove that email marketing is more alive than ever.

    I was immediately attracted to your site today. It is Veteran’s Day and I found free meals and other freebies – a car wash, for example – everywhere I turned.

    Aside for patriotism, these offers made good marketing sense to me. The best advertsing or marketing for a restaurant, in my opinion, is to create a new customer. If the  food and service are good, the new customer will be back again and again.

    A bonus for signing up with a restaurant chain makes a lot of sense to me. I would love the free items and I understand the marketing principle.

    You are performing a valuable service by creating a “clearinghouse” for these many sign – up bonuses. Otherwise, we could only hope to stumble upon them ourselves.

    And veterans must eat on days other than October 11…LOL.

    Great job, Richard

    I’ve noticed some very tasty offerings in these rewards programs! Tacos! Doughnuts! Ice Cream! French fries! Chocolate! Where to begin?? I am stuck on a gluten-free diet, ice cream makes me sick instantly, but tacos… As long as the shell is corn and not wheat, I can indulge! Also, french fries are usually safe. My heart is pounding and my stomach is growling. I am going to further investigate some of these programs, so I can happily enjoy some free food and beverages. Thank you so much for sharing!

    Hello Alyce, such offers are not to be missed by anyone. Going around and getting a good meal for me is one means at which i spend quite a lot of money on daily as a result of my large appetite. I stopped eating junk and regular snacks when i had some health issues and the offer of good food from this restaurants is a good deal for me. For signing up, how do I go about it?

Do they apply for all stores globally? Krispy Kreme is located near my house, but I want to make sure the reward program also apply in the place I live. Thanks

      Regarding your ice cream question, you can buy online from a few places (Carvel even has a “party pack”) and pick up in store. If you need to have your ice cream shipped, Dippin’ Dots is a good option with 2-day delivery!

    I for one am definitely going to take advantage of the Cinnabon offer as I just love their treats. My daughter is a die hard Mcdonalds fan so she will appreciate the free offers here, as she is a regular customer there. 

    I didn’t even realize that some of the places on your list had loyalty rewards, so will definitely have to take advantage of these.

    I think we all appreciate a free bonus, and finding such a great list of places to try is exciting.  I can’t wait for my next trip so I can go to some of these businesses.  Cinnabon is definitely on my list.  Also will put on the Olive Garden.  It’s one of my favorite places to eat.  Thanks for researching these for us.
