   Thanks for the updates Jeff & Elizabeth!

   I just checked the Bern’s website and they state on the frequently asked questions that they do not offer any birthday or other special occasion discount or free meals.

   here is the text:

   Special Occasions
   Bern’s does not offer birthday or anniversary celebrations in any of our dining rooms. Since we believe the totality of the dining experience we provide at Bern’s Steak House is special enough on its own merits, we do not provide any additional services for birthdays or other occasions. With 24 hours advance notice, a celebratory message can be “painted” on a guest of honor’s dessert plate or even a custom cake created. Please call the restaurant at 813.251.2421 and ask to speak with the pastry kitchen if you are interested in making those arrangements. We have also had a very long-standing policy of never offering discounts on our meals.

   Krispy Kreme no longer offers 6 free donuts and travel mug of coffee.

7. Stacy Fisher on October 13th, 2008 9:31 pm

   Thanks for the updates Amy & Christy I took those off the list.

   Could not find anywhere to sign up for birthday program…maybe it’s just me?

   Couldn’t find anywhere to sign up for birthday club…maybe it’s just me?

10. Stacy Fisher on October 29th, 2008 9:55 am

    Min, I don’t think either Ihop or Taco Bell has birthday clubs to sign up for on their website. I’m under the impression you stop by and tell them it’s your birthday. You probably will need to show ID.

    Blimpie doesn’t have a coupon on the website.

    Manda – I believe they give you the coupon when you come into Blimpie.

    Just wanted to inform on a few issues with free meals, I don’t think that any single resaurant is doing the free meal thing anymore with the economy the way it is…. Tried Fudrukers- no longer does it, I-hop- no longer does it, Red Robins-no longer does it, and went into Taco Bell to receive my free birthday combo meal and they all looked at me like I was crazy. Should update the free birthday meals. The only ones that I used was Hollywood video, thanks for that!

16. Michelle on January 6th, 2009 4:51 pm

    Red Robin IS still doing the free Burger on your Birthday. I signed up at the restaurant a few months ago and my daughter got her coupon in Dec and my hubby in Jan 2009. They were e-mailed to us then you just print and go.

17. Stacy Fisher on January 7th, 2009 11:02 am

    Louis I think you may find that some of this is left up to the regional or even general managers of that particular restaurant. I did leave notes in the post that Fuddruckers, I-Hop and Taco Bell may not be available in all areas. This brings up an excellent point that you should always call before you go to see if that particular location is offering the birthday freebie.

    Thanks for the update on Red Robin Michelle!

18. Gary on January 11th, 2009 7:03 pm

    IHOP in Colorado no longer does free meals or anything else for that matter.

19. Kristin on January 15th, 2009 2:55 pm

    Hi! I also made my own list on my site since many of the restaurants aren’t in Iowa. I called most of the restaurants if they didn’t explain exactly what their “birthday surprise” was on their site. Victoria’s Secret also gives a $10 gift card birthday gift too! Thanks for the great article, I didn’t realize how many business actually give you freebies!

    IHOP Woodstock, Ga- never offered free meal, but has kid’s club

21. Rob on January 22nd, 2009 4:53 pm

    RuSan’s has a birthday club. signed up- heard they give a $20 gift card- hope to see it soon! http://rusans.com/locations.aspx

22. Rob on January 22nd, 2009 5:25 pm

    Caribou- no walk-up freebie.
    Have to sign up for email offers, then “customize”- enter your birthday. get a coupon.

23. Stacy Fisher on January 23rd, 2009 9:48 am

    Thanks for the updates Rob, I’ve included them!

25. Paula on January 30th, 2009 7:08 pm

    Why don’t the restaurant establishments realize that by giving a free birthday dessert or appetizer that this will result in more business for them? People will dine out at these places just because they offer customers a nice surprise on their special day.

26. lauren on February 15th, 2009 1:59 pm

    at limited too, they give you a discount on your b-day….

27. Beth on February 19th, 2009 5:55 pm

    The link doesn’t work, you have to go to their direct website.

28. Sarah on March 2nd, 2009 12:25 am

    I couldn’t find anything on Blimpie’s site that would allow you to sign up for this, so it may be invalid.

29. Kristin on March 5th, 2009 12:41 pm

    Sarah, you have to go in to a Blimpie’s to sign up for birthday deals.

30. kc on March 5th, 2009 6:47 pm

    Red Robin still offers the freemeal on your birthday. I receive the email for all people on my list. Baskin Robbins, Coldstone’s still do too. OCB and Famous Daves is also still good!

31. arica on March 8th, 2009 3:02 am

    Mcd’s only has certain states in which it gives out mcdonalds and me club enrollment. We are in WA state so won’t work for us. Sad..

32. Nora on March 11th, 2009 11:05 pm

    My daughter turned 3 a few weeks ago and we had a wonderful time spending her birthday checking out free stuff from your site. A lot of these require that you join their “birthday club” online BEFORE your birthday. We got a free meal for her from Red Robin, El Torito’s (might be a different name in some states), Denny’s, and Marie Callendar’s. Many of these places also allow you to use the birthday freebie for up to one month, so of course, we didn’t go to ALL these places on her actual birthday. We also got a free dessert at Outback and a $3 coupon, a balloon, and a birthday crown at Toys R Us. What didn’t work was Round Table (nothing free in our area) and IHOP (no free meal). Anyway, we had a LOT of fun. My daughter was thrilled! Can’t wait for my birthday on June 25th! Thanks for the site!

    The Blue Bell link doesn’t work.

35. Stacy Fisher on March 16th, 2009 8:51 am

    Nora – thanks for the comment, I’m glad you and your daughter had such a great time with the birthday feebies!

    Joanna – I think Blue Bell is having some issues with their site, I went ahead and pointed it to their main page, hopefully they’ll get the registration form back up soon.

36. savvy on April 1st, 2009 3:31 pm

    You can get into Disney for free on your birthday as well!!!

37. Stacy Fisher on April 1st, 2009 3:49 pm

    Thanks so much savvy, that’s a great birthday freebie! I’ve added Walt Disney World and Disneyland free admission on your birthday to the list.

38. B W on April 3rd, 2009 6:56 am

    I work for the Body Shop and the month of your Birthday you do get a free Love your Body Card (worth $10 and 10% off every time you shop) or if you already have the card we give you $10 in anything you want in the store!

39. HS on April 13th, 2009 4:23 pm

    Denny’s, IHOP in my area no longer have these B-day offers.

    Maggiano’s has a birthday club, it’s $10 off your meal purchase. O’charley’s also offers a birthday club-not sure what they give you.

49. tortise on June 7th, 2009 8:28 am

    Thanks so much Stacy. I registered for firehouse subs and old spaghetti warehouse. Since it actually IS my birthday today, I probably won’t get anything for a year, but I will be watching for them…

50. Jackie on June 21st, 2009 10:34 am

    Perkins gives you a free piece of pie on your birthday, and Texas Roadhouse you get an email for a free appetizer (excluding combo appetizer) or sidekick of ribs to use within five days of your birthday.

51. Joy on June 23rd, 2009 10:32 pm

    Thank you a lot. I found some good B-Day coupon’s.

52. Anthony on July 2nd, 2009 1:26 pm

    Ruby Tuesdays sent me a coupon for a free birthday burger, but I had signed up for this some months ago and forgot about it.

53. Dai-Dai on July 10th, 2009 7:17 pm

    Benihana’s gives you a free $30 coupon if you’re signed up on their mailing list usable the month of your birthday.

54. Craig on July 13th, 2009 12:56 pm

    Just called IHOP, no free meal on B-day, just a sundae.

55. Ginger on July 30th, 2009 12:37 pm

    It’s my birthday! I signed up for the birthday club at Grimaldi’s and I’m getting a free pizza. You also get a free meal on your birthday at Joe’s BBQ in Gilbert, AZ. Going there, too.

56. donna on August 3rd, 2009 6:41 pm

    Benihana’s will send you a complimentary meal up to $30.00 during your birthday month if you sign up for their Chef’s Table Club.

59. Yvette on September 4th, 2009 11:26 pm

    only a blank page comes up from your link. However, I went into Captain Ds before I learned of your website tonight. There is a website listed on the bottom of the receipt http://www.captainds.com/dsclub and on the website it reads “Each new member will first receive a welcome email with a coupon good for a FREE Fish & Fries or a FREE Chicken & Fries, just for joining!” After just a few pieces of information, I joined the club there. But have founds many other birthday gifts on the frudalliving site. THANKS!

60. Liz on September 5th, 2009 12:54 pm

    I signed my whole family up for free admission to Disney on our birthdays and I have to agree, it really is a GREAT birthday treat! They email your confirmation to you shortly before your birthday (so you can’t lose it) & you get a cool button that says it is your birthday! All the employees wish you a happy birthday as you walk through the park! It really is GREAT!!!!! I hope they repeat this offer again!

61. dne on September 6th, 2009 4:31 am

    captain d’s gives free meal for all on bday. must sign up on their site. get an offer for joining thier club, then get another for your birthday.

62. Stacy Fisher on September 8th, 2009 9:16 am

    Thank you for all the additions and corrections everyone! Keep ‘em coming!

    I’ve added birthday freebies for Ryan’s, Helzberg Diamonds, First Watch, Joe’s BBQ, Grimaldi’s, Cracker Barrel and Benihana.

    I’ve updated the birthday listings for Perkin’s, Texas Roadhouse, Captain D’s, IHOP and Buffalo Wild Wings.

    thanks for the information/helene

64. Jen Johnson on September 16th, 2009 4:18 pm

    You have a great list going here. I have added your website to my blog as a place for people to go to get things for free. Is there a way to sort by State? I know I get all excited for something and I sign up only to find out that there isn’t a location near me. I’m not sure how difficult it would be to organize that, but I thought it would be a good idea.

65. Misty on September 26th, 2009 12:53 am

    just went to Benihana’s for my husbands b-day… awesome!!! Free food for him & a slice of cheesecake with mandarin oranges on top!!!

66. Misty on September 26th, 2009 12:56 am

    Red Robin sent my husband a coupon for a free burger for his birthday (yesterday)

68. Beth Zimmerman on November 12th, 2009 3:26 pm

    Genghis Grill offers a free meal coupon. Yummy Mongolian barbecue! And they give a window, so you don’t have to use it only on your birthday.

    Also, Backwoods (outdoor/climbing/camping/yoga gear)– which has locations in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas — offers a free b-day gift. I’ve gotten a t-shirt, couple of different backpacks, travel kit.

69. Kay on November 15th, 2009 1:16 am

    Round Table in bay area (nor cal) DOES give out free pizzas.. to that EE person who said they didn’t. I just got my free pizza yesterday

70. amanda on November 30th, 2009 2:49 pm

    Movie gallery also offers a free rental on your b-day.

71. lisa on December 1st, 2009 7:35 pm

    Krispy Kremes in our area still does the dozen free donuts. Just not the drink anymore. Got them today.

72. lisa on December 1st, 2009 7:36 pm

    I live in Mesa, AZ so that would be the Superstition Springs Krispy Kremes I am talking about.

    Neither Disneyland nor Walt Disney World offer free admission on your birthday after 2009.

77. Brent on January 8th, 2010 2:27 pm

    Disney is no longer offering the Free Birthday entrance. They are now offering a payment plan for Annual Pass Holders instead.

78. tina on January 9th, 2010 7:19 pm

    as of dec 31st 2009 disneyland no longer has the free admission for your birthday. now you have to volunteer 1 free day of community service to be able to recieve 1 free day into the park.

79. Kaci on January 14th, 2010 11:53 am

    Lone Star Steakhouse no longer offers a free birthday entree up to $15. We now offer a free appetizer with the purchase of an entree for your birthday if you sign up for our e-club.

80. Kimberly SAnders on January 27th, 2010 3:54 pm

    I think that this is really a great idea. Just something free on your birthday is cool, but I think the offer should expire at the end of the month or the following month, because my birthday is January 29 and I can’t really go everywhere in one day you know? But thanks!

81. Anthony Garone on January 27th, 2010 7:28 pm

    Speaking of Joe’s Real BBQ in Mesa, AZ, as far as I’ve heard, he gives free birthday meals at all 3 of his restaurants in Gilbert, AZ: Joe’s Real BBQ, Liberty Market, and Joe’s Farm Grill. My friend suggested Liberty Market for breakfast, BBQ for lunch, farm grill for dinner and called it the “Birthday trifecta.”

82. nichole on February 1st, 2010 12:52 am

    If you sign up for their e-mail club you get a free appetizer for joining and a printble coupon for a free entree(up to $15) on your birthday. If you are not part of the e-club you get a free dessert on your birthday. But it’s one or the other. you can’t have both. =)

83. jose on February 3rd, 2010 4:49 pm

    wow, glad i stopped by
