Dallas is known for many things and food is definitely one of them. Every kind of fried food you can imagine, Tex-Mex, bacon-wrapped-cheese-stuff jalapenos, chicken-fried steak, and okra. Pecan pies for days. Fun fact, the Pecan Tree and nut are both state official varieties. So what kind of food can you get for free to celebrate your birthday? We'd venture to say pretty much anything because we've got over 1200 locations in the Dallas area with great freebies.

One of our faves comes from Golden Chick at 1800 S Cooper st. Even though it's not the biggest freebie out there. The spirit in which they run their birthday reward is just awesome. They're happy to see you come in with your coupon and in the case, you don't use the full value of it, they've been known to give the remaining balance to the next customer in line. That's pretty special right there.

As far as value goes, Benihana gives you a $30 gift certificate to enjoy their Japanese Cuisine like hibachi steak, chicken, and shrimp. They've also got great sushi. You need to sign up well in advance though, so check our Yayday app to get those details.
