These details can change who gets the offer and how it works.

Before you order
Veterans Day offer status and rules
Check this year's Veterans Day offer, date, proof rules, menu choices and restaurant terms before you visit.
Veterans Day promotions are annual and time-sensitive. Search results for a previous year may describe a real past offer but cannot establish the terms for the current year.
Use this page to plan your order. Pick your restaurant on the Olive Garden website before you buy because prices and menu choices can change.
What to check
Look at these details before you order:
- The current year's official announcement
- Eligible guests and acceptable proof
- Participating date, hours and dine-in rules
- Included menu choices, exclusions and upgrades
What can change
These details may be different by restaurant, date or order type:
- Yearly offer publication and terms
- Restaurant participation and operating hours
- Eligible menu and substitution rules
- Proof requirements and dine-in conditions
If the website is not clear, call the restaurant before you go.
How to check the details
Follow these steps before you visit or place an order:
- Pick the restaurant. Match the full street address.
- Choose the time. Set the date, time and order type.
- Match the item. Check the size, sides, sauce, drink and extras.
- Check the final details. Look for a dated official announcement for the current year, read every eligibility term, select the restaurant and call it if participation or proof requirements remain unclear.
Common mistakes
Do not rely on an old photo, an old price or the menu from another restaurant.
- Changing the year in an old article without new official terms
- Promising a free meal before an announcement exists
- Omitting eligibility, identification or dine-in requirements

Frequently asked questions
Is Olive Garden offering a Veterans Day meal in 2026?
A 2026 offer was not listed on the main official Specials page when reviewed August 16, 2026. Check again closer to November 11 because annual terms may be published later.
Who qualifies for an Olive Garden Veterans Day offer?
Eligibility must come from the current official terms; do not rely on an older year's eligibility list.
Is the Olive Garden Veterans Day 2025 menu still valid?
No. A 2025 menu or proof list is historical and does not establish a 2026 offer. Use the current official terms for the relevant year.
