Memorial Day Restaurant and Food Deals

Memorial Day is a day for parades and remembrance, picnics and barbecues — and lots of deals!

Many restaurants and retailers are offering discounts and freebies over the Memorial Day weekend. Some of the deals are only for military personnel or veterans, while others are available to all. Some of the deals aren’t specifically for Memorial Day, but they’re good over the holiday weekend, so we’ll count them in as a way to enjoy the kick-off-to-summer holiday on the cheap. 

Myrtle Beach and The Grand Strand is home to thousands of military retirees and veterans. Many of them have lost family and friends to the many wars and conflicts our country has been involved in. This Memorial Day 2022, is for those who have fallen in the defense of our country. Please visit the Warbird Park Battlefield Memorial to honor all the brave men and women who have fought and died for our country.

We’ve broken down the Memorial Day offers by restaurant deals, shopping deals and gift card bonuses.

The offers are available at participating locations, while supplies last. Limit one per person.
