Restaurants offering military discounts to honor those who serve

May 27, 20193 min read

On Memorial Day, the last Monday of every May, we honor and remember those who died while serving in the United States Armed Services.

Some businesses and restaurants extend their gratitude to veterans and actively serving military members by offering discounts. We’ve compiled a list of restaurants who offer their discounts year round.

We have only included the restaurants who have communicated with us regarding their discounts; if you know a restaurant or you are a restaurant who offers military discounts, please tell us the amount and we’ll add you to this list.

The grand opening is TODAY, Oct. 8! 🎉

@istanbultucson is expanding with a second location, @istanbulmediterraneanexpress, at 5660 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. 

The fast-casual spot will feature about 75% of the original location’s menu, plus two exclusive dishes: build-your-own Turkish stuffed baked potatoes, known as Kumpir, and fresh-ground doner made in-house. The falafel plate and stuffed potatoes can also be made vegan. 

“The first restaurant taught us what our customers love most, so at Cortaro we’re focusing the menu around our most popular dishes while making the experience a little more casual and convenient. Most importantly, we’ve learned that no matter how much we grow, the quality of our food has to stay high every single day.” — Kamran Esar

Daily hours: 11am - 9pm
