Chick-fil-A encourages local restaurant operators to plan charitable endeavors, including military appreciation events. However, while local operations may have military discounts, there is no chain-wide Veterans Day deal for 2026. That said, it’s worth checking out your local chain, as it may offer a discount.
To find more Veterans Day deals similar to Chick-fil-A, be sure to check out the many offers included in our list of free meals and discounts for Veterans Day for constant updates.
It’s up to the discretion of the individual franchises, so you’ll need to check with your nearest restaurant to see if they’ve got anything planned. You may have to show your military or veteran ID or a copy of your DD-214 when you ask for a military or Veterans Day discount.
However, Chick-fil-A also uses ID.me to verify military status via its app. If your location offers a discount, be sure to check to see if you need to download the app and sync it with ID.me before you head to the restaurant.

How Chick-fil-A Supports the Military and Veterans
Chick-fil-A franchises also support veterans by hosting benefit events like Skate for the Chicken, which benefits Angels of America’s Fallen.
Some Chick-fil-A locations host “military appreciation” events with free food for servicemembers and veterans. However, military appreciation days don’t always coincide with Veterans Day, so make sure you check your local restaurant to keep tabs on upcoming events.
For example, Chick-fil-A restaurants in El Paso and Las Cruces have held military appreciation nights in October, offering free meals to active and retired military personnel plus their immediate families, according to news coverage of the event.
Chick-fil-A franchises in San Diego also have a history of hosting annual military appreciation nights. In the past, their events coincided with the Marine Corps’ birthday on Nov. 10 and took place aboard the historic USS Midway Museum.

Other appreciation days include healthcare workers (May 4), teachers (May 5), police (May 7), and firefighters, EMTs, and public works employees (May 8).
