9 Best Restaurant Chain Deals You Can Score Right Now
The summer of 2024 has been the season of value meals. Over the past few months, fast-food chains like McDonald's and Burger King have sought to alleviate mounting complaints about rising food prices by launching discounted meals. However, the value wars haven't been limited to fast-food joints. Sit-down restaurants have also been rolling out meal deals of their own.
Some spots have revived fan-favorite promotions. Others have launched brand-new ones. And you can't forget about the deals that, thankfully, never leave restaurants. Unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks, anyone?
The next time you consider dining out or ordering in, why not pocket some savings, too? Read on to discover nine of the best restaurant chain deals you can score right now. As always, prices may vary by location.
Olive Garden
Olive Garden may be best known for its unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks, but it also receives plenty of hype for its Never-Ending Pasta Bowl. This popular deal returned to menus at the end of August and starts at $13.99—the same price tag since 2022.
As part of this deal, Olive Garden customers receive never-ending servings of pasta dishes, which feature their choice of pasta, sauce, and toppings. As with any other dine-in experience, this meal comes with unlimited breadsticks, plus a choice of soup or salad. The Never-Ending Pasta Bowl will be available until Nov. 17, so you have just over two months to enjoy unlimited quantities of fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs, and more.
Applebee's
Football season has finally kicked off, and Applebee's is helping fans celebrate with a popular limited-time deal: 50-cent boneless wings. With this offering, customers can order boneless wings, which clock in at just 50 cents each. That means a five-piece order is just $2.50, a 10-piece order is $5, and a 20-piece order is $10.
These crispy breaded pieces of chicken are tossed in one of six flavors: Classic Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Sweet Asian Chile, Garlic Parmesan, Extra Hot Buffalo, or Honey Pepper. The 50-cent boneless wings are now available for both dine-in and takeout customers.
Additionally, Applebee's fans can pair their wings with one of the new $10 NFL Buckets, which come in two varieties: M.V. Tea and Captain's Kickoff.
