14 Best 4th Of July Restaurant And Fast Food Deals For 2023

The Fourth of July is traditionally a time for soaking up the sun, watching beautiful fireworks displays, tailgating, and, of course, barbecuing feasts with family and friends. But if you're more into having someone else do the cooking, or you want to grab a bite to eat at a restaurant earlier in the day before your festivities begin, we have a guide for you.

Although Independence Day is known more for its deals on furniture, vehicles, and other big-ticket items, it also offers a good amount of food deals that don't get advertised as heavily. Some restaurants and fast-food places even offer special promotions throughout the whole month of July to keep bringing people back throughout the summer. Whether it's a whole-month promotion or a special discount for the Fourth of July, there are plenty of ways to save money and enjoy delicious food while you celebrate the United States of America. Continue on to soak up the best Fourth of July restaurant and fast-food deals for 2023.

Krispy Kreme hops into the Fourth of July spirit every year with its festive red, white, and blue donuts to celebrate America's holiday. This year is no different, as it's already started releasing its patriotic sweet treats for the Fourth, including a red velvet cake donut topped with confetti star sprinkles and an apple pie donut with caramel icing and a graham cracker crumb topping. You can order at your favorite Krispy Kreme or pick up a pack at a participating grocery store near you.

Unfortunately, you'll need to wait until the Fourth of July to get this year's holiday deal, which is a free Krispy Kreme donut, no purchase required. Pick one up in participating stores or grab one through the drive thru, but there's one stipulation: You must show off your red, white, and blue pride by wearing the colors when you visit. Check the Krispy Kreme website to see if your local shop is participating in the promotion.

According to its website, Folds of Honor was founded in 2007 by Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney.

His desire to help sparked the idea for Folds of Honor, which has awarded over 44,000 education scholarships since its founding. By participating in this Freddy's deal for the Fourth of July, you can do a little bit to help out veterans' families and enjoy Freddy's famous custard treats for free.
