Veteran’s Day (Wednesday, November 11) reminds Americans to celebrate people who have served in the military. Several Houston restaurants will celebrate the occasion with special dining deals.
Proof of veteran status, such as a military ID or veteran designation on a driver’s license, is typically required to claim the offers. While this list includes many tempting possibilities, here’s one suggestion for a veteran looking for maximum dining enjoyment for the least possible cost: lunch at Feges BBQ followed by a Blizzard at Dairy Queen with a Perry’s pork chop for dinner. That’s a fine day of eating (please tip generously).
Berg Hospitality
The group’s restaurants — B.B. Italia, B.B. Lemon, B&B Butchers, and The Annie Café — will take 20 percent off a veteran’s meal for either dine-in or to-go. In addition, the butcher shop at B&B Butchers will offer veterans a free sandwich, chips, and non-alcoholic drink.
