Remember This About National Restaurants with Military Discounts!
When it comes to military discounts, make sure to remember that many can depend on your exact location. Even if you were given a military discount in one city, that might not apply to another. If you have non-chain restaurants in your area, they might also give a military discount, so make sure to ask when you go to those places too. In most cases, you would show your military ID when you pay the bill to receive your military discount.
