The long weekend is officially here, and restaurants are showing up with deals that make it easy to eat well without spending much. Whether you’re hosting a cookout, grabbing takeout for the game, or looking for an easy family dinner, there’s a lot on the table this weekend.
Here’s a full breakdown of what’s available, organized by when each deal runs.
Deals Running the Full Weekend (May 22–25)
Arby’s — Rewards Members get a BOGO sandwich deal running Friday through Sunday. The offer is valid Fridays through Sundays through the end of May, so today’s kickoff is the first window. Check the Arby’s app for redemption details.
Newk’s Eatery — $20 family meal deal that includes two pizzas and a salad. A strong value for a group meal that doesn’t require turning on the oven.
Nothing Bundt Cakes — Bundtastic Rewards members earn 50 bonus points with any cake purchased for delivery through May 25. Points load on or around June 12.
Bojangles — Free strawberry cobbler with the purchase of any biscuit sandwich combo, all weekend. No code required — offer valid May 25 through the end of the month, with a BOGO biscuit combo deal running through May 24.
Kona Grill — Veterans, active-duty military, reservists, first responders, and Gold Star Families receive a free entrée with the purchase of a starter through May 25. A meaningful way to honor the holiday’s original intent.
Insomnia Cookies — Buy 9 Classic Cookies, get 3 free. Limit three per customer; valid for pickup or delivery.
Potbelly — Perk Members get a free bag of chips, cookie, or fountain drink with any entrée purchase through May 24.
Eddie Merlot’s — Two Prime Cheeseburgers and fries for $26 through May 25. Online only for takeout or delivery.
Olive Garden — Free delivery with promo code OGDELIVERS through the weekend. One of the more useful no-fuss codes if you’re feeding a group from home.
Deals Running Through Tuesday or Beyond
Round Table Pizza — $29.99 bundle through May 27: a large Double Play Pepperoni Pizza plus two shareables (Garlic Parmesan Twists, Mozzarella Sticks, Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks, or Jalapeño Poppers).
Shake Shack — Free ShackBurger with any $10+ purchase using code FREEBURGER through May 31. Also, free Chicken Shack every Sunday with code CHICKENSUNDAY — which means this Sunday, May 24, is another double-deal day.
Krispy Kreme — $2 dozen Original Glazed with any dozen or 16-count Minis purchase at regular price, May 22–25. Use code BOGO2 online. Limit two per guest in-shop, one online.
Subway — Sub Club members get a $6.99 footlong through June 2 with code 699FL.

Fazoli’s — Free pizza with the purchase of any Family Meal (fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti, eight garlic breadsticks) through May 27.
Military Appreciation Highlights
Several chains are going beyond the standard discount for those who served:
- Kona Grill — Free entrée with starter purchase for veterans, active-duty, reservists, first responders, and Gold Star Families through May 25
- Smalls Sliders — 10% off for military members with valid ID on Memorial Day, May 25
- Many chains offer year-round military discounts that don’t require a holiday — it’s worth asking at the counter even when there’s no active promotion
The Bottom Line
Memorial Day weekend deals are live now and run through Monday — some extending even further into the week. The Arby’s BOGO, Krispy Kreme $2 dozen, Shake Shack free ShackBurger, and Kona Grill military appreciation deal are the strongest offers of the weekend. Most require a rewards account or app — if you haven’t downloaded a few of these, this weekend is worth the two-minute sign-up.
