Who Says There is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch...

With my birthday coming up and my e-mail box filling with birthday deals, I thought this would be a great time to highlight some of the free meals, desserts, or discounts available at Branson area restaurants.

(Please note that these deals are subject to change, but are accurate as of this post)

• Lambert's - Celebrate your birthday with tossed rolls, ten dollars off your meal, and a hubcap (a giant cinnamon roll) with a balloon attached. There is no coupon required, just show your driver's license on your birthday, and there are a few great entrees under ten dollars so you can get a free meal if you so choose. I highly recommend stopping by Lambert's for those in the Branson area on their birthday.
  
• Texas Land & Cattle Steakhouse - Free entree valued under $15. To get this coupon, you must sign up for their e-mail club.
• Fuddrucker's - The deals seem to vary, but this year it is a free shake. You must sign up for their Fudd's Club to get this deal.
• Cantina Laredo - If you join their e-club, they will wish you "Feliz Cumpleanos" and send you a coupon for a complementary Mexican Brownie.
• Cold Stone Creamery - Joining the Cold Stone Club gets you a coupon for a free ice cream creation.

Other restaurants will provide a complementary dessert and/or embarassment in the form of a song to the birthday girl or boy, just make sure you mention the occasion to your server. If I learn about more restaurants which offer birthday deals, I'll add them to this list so feel free to bookmark this post for reference when a family birthday rolls around.

Thanks for reading!
