9 Restaurant Chains With the Best Labor Day Deals
Labor Day is just around the corner, and that means people are gearing up for barbecues, parades, and pool parties. In other words, lots of hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausages are getting grilled.
However, not everyone is planning a big cookout over the three-day weekend. Some would prefer not to make anything at all. Luckily, several restaurant chains are offering food and beverage deals, so you can enjoy the holiday without setting foot in your kitchen.
While some chains are just discounting certain menu items, others are offering full meals at a lower cost. From sit-down spots to fast-food joints, here are nine restaurant chains offering some of the best Labor Day deals.
Chili's
In the mood for a marg? Chili's will be open on Labor Day and offering its usual Monday happy hour special from 3 p.m. until closing time. The Sunrise Dream Marg, aka Chili's Margarita of the Month for September, costs just $6. This cocktail features Lunazul Reposado tequila, triple sec, pineapple juice, sweet & sour, and a float of grenadine.
Then, there's the new Don Julio Marg, which costs $12. This is made with Don Julio Blanco tequila, fresh sour, and a squeeze of orange. For those who want a triple punch of tequila, Chili's is also offering its Tequila Trifecta Margarita for $7.
If margaritas aren't your thing, Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Coors Lite start at $3, Modelo Ultra and Michelob Ultra start at $4, and house wines start at $5.
KFC
If you're craving comfort food this weekend, KFC is offering a few deals that you can enjoy on Labor Day. For those feeding a crowd, there's the 40-Piece Saucy Nuggets Party Pack, which costs $19.99.

KFC fans can also get 50% off chicken sandwiches when ordering on the chain's website or app. This deal includes the Classic, Spicy, and Saucy chicken sandwiches. If you'd prefer a simple bucket of chicken, the chain is taking 40% off its 12-piece buckets when customers order online or via the mobile app. This deal includes a choice of KFC's Variety Bucket, which features three drums, three thighs, three breasts, and three wings, or the chain's all-dark meat Drum & Thigh Bucket, which includes six drums and six thighs.
