Let's be real: on your birthday, you get celebrated for something someone else did. (Thanks, Mom!) There are very few other occasions in our adult lives where we get celebrated just for existing. But, of course, we're not going to complain, either. Especially because so many of our favorite restaurants want to give us free food just to celebrate another 365 days of life on this planet.
Ahead, we've rounded up our favorite deals that can keep you happy and fed, completely for free, all day long, just like this hero did back in February. Because nothing says "another year wiser" like a free Grand Slam breakfast.
