Birthday

Benihana's Japanese Restaurant birthday freebie is pretty darn awesome, if you ask me. What other place gives you thirty bucks every year? That's right, not a single one, and I should know because I've been going through way too many of these lately. But thankfully the Benihana birthday certificate has arrived!

For many years now Benihana has been a classic in the birthday freebies space and has almost cracked our list of the best 25 birthday freebies. They've always offered a free $30 gift certificate with the purchase of a 2nd adult entrée and they even have an extensive portion of their FAQs dedicated to their annual birthday certificate.

Be sure to register with their free chef's table e-club well in advance of your birthday to ensure coupon delivery. You should receive your free birthday gift certificate emailed at the start of your birthday month. They also send out a ton of weekly promotions and special offers throughout the year, through I do not believe they offer any sort of half-birthday offer.

You must print the certificate in order to use the certificate at your local restaurant! You'll also need to bring government ID for the name on the certificate.

Certificates are valid during dinner hours on Monday through Thursdays only. Most certificates are valid for the entire month of your birthday. Offer requires the purchase of one, full-priced adult entrée on your guest check before the certificate is applied to additional items ordered by the recipient. The maximum value of the birthday certificate is $30 and excludes alcohol, tax and gratuity. Offer cannot be combined with any other offer, promotion or discount including Happy Hour. Check their official website for a full list of terms.

So find a sitter one night and enjoy a meal! Well don't find a sitter if you don't have kids. That'd be a little weird.

Denny's free birthday offer is a free Grand Slam breakfast. The offer is only valid on the day of your birthday, as opposed to the entire week like some restaurants, so no dilly dallying! You have permission to dilly though. There's always time to dilly.

As with almost every other free birthday food offer, you must join Denny's free rewards program ahead of time in order to get this free meal! You simply need to create an account, add your birthday, and then check your email as your birthday gets near. Denny's will email you a coupon for your free breakfast during your birthday month.

I've noticed most birthday freebies are quite unhealthy. Many would expect the Baskin-Robbins birthday freebie to be no different and they're right!

The classic free scoop of ice cream or swirl of soft serve has returned! Gone are the days of the crappy $3 off coupon and in its place is pure, sweet, free soft-serve sugar. It's the American Dream, baby.

Holy Frijoles. My email address for birthday freebies usually gets three or four offers a week. However at midnight last night, I suddenly received 79 of them. Looks like I'll be busy this week.

However in a pure act of procrastination, I'm first grabbing lunch at Arby's and enjoying my free signature sandwich with any soft drink purchase. With any luck, they'll still have the meats by the time I arrive!

I live on the east coast so there's no way for me to physically verify that Black Angus Steakhouse exists. For that matter, I still have my doubts about New Mexico. I guess the only way to determine if it's a giant ruse is to join their eClub and get a free birthday BOGO steak dinner coupon. Look for the “Prime Club” signup link near the bottom of the page.

This is one of the rarer birthday offers codified in a birthday freebie Terms of Service!

Red Robin has transitioned their free burger on your birthday to their cardless loyalty program. But you still get a free burger as part of the Red Robin birthday freebie rewards! All you have to do is register for a free Red Royalty Card at their site and you're good to go. Your birthday burger reward is valid during your entire birthday month, so there's no rush on redeeming your birthday reward.

This offer also comes with free fries and is valid on both dine-in and dine-out occasions. Their FAQ says you'll get a burger with a lit candle if you dine-in! 🙂

On top of your annual free birthday burger, the Red Robin rewards program adds tons of coupons to your member account throughout the year. You can also earn a 10th free item during the year when you purchase nine of any combination of the following items: burgers, entrées, wraps or sandwiches, or entrée salads. Please note that kids’ meals, house/side salads, appetizers, soups, desserts, beverages, breakfast items and gift cards do not count as credit toward this reward at this time.

Here are the full Red Robin Royalty FAQs that should answer any additional questions.

If it wasn't snowing, I'd seriously consider eating Macaroni Grill birthday freebie for lunch. They offer a free piece of chocolate cake with no additional purchase! Sure, there might not be a location near me, but I'd travel far for free cake. My parents raised me well.
