The Best Free Birthday Rewards From Popular Food And Beverage Spots

One of the greatest perks of a birthday is it lets you get all sorts of free things. For me, that’s especially true for food. There’s a sweet satisfaction of walking into one of my favorite spots and knowing that right after they tell me my order total, I’ll respond with, “Today’s my birthday, can I get the hook up?” Yea you may not get everything for the freeski, but you’ll definitely walk outta there with something. 

To prepare you for a day full of celebrating another rotation around the sun, we’ve put together an extensive list of food spots that offer birthday freebies and deals.
