A list of Wichita restaurants thanking veterans with free meals on Veterans Day 2019

Veterans Day is always a crowded day at local restaurants. So many places around town like to thank members of the military for their service by offering free meals.

This year, Veterans Day is on a Monday, and once again, there are deals aplenty. Keep in mind that all the specials require a military ID, and most are offered to active duty and retired military members.
