Most establishments require customers to show valid military ID to receive the benefit. Upscale venues that accept reservations advise patrons to book ahead. The offers generally apply to both active duty members and veterans.
Several local favorites are giving away full plates of food. Feges BBQ in Spring Branch and Greenway Plaza will serve a plate with two meats, two sides, a dessert, and a drink to eligible guests. Bombshells, a military-themed chain, is offering a free appetizer, entree, and dessert at its seven Houston-area locations. Accompanying family members at Bombshells receive a 20 percent discount, though soft drinks and alcohol are excluded from both offers.
