Veterans Day is on a Monday this year, so a few Wichita favorites that are normally closed on Mondays — places like Paradise Donuts and Livingston’s Diner — aren’t on the list of restaurants offering free and discounted meals to local veterans this year.
But that doesn’t mean that the annual list of Veterans Day specials isn’t long.
Here are all the deals and specials I could confirm are being offered in Wichita for 2024. Keep in mind that all the specials require a military ID, and most are offered to active duty and retired military members. Many restaurants also invite first responders to partake.
All deals listed are available on Monday, Nov. 11, unless otherwise noted.
Another Broken Egg Cafe, 4862 E. 35th St. North: Free patriot French toast combo and coffee
Applebee’s , many Wichita locations: Free entree from a special menu
