7 Restaurants Still Offering Labor Day Weekend Food Deals
Labor Day weekend is bringing more than just the unofficial end of summer — it's also bringing a wave of fast food deals for anyone grilling in the backyard or ordering delivery instead. Chains including QDOBA, Wendy's, Long John Silver's, Popeyes, Cracker Barrel, Krispy Kreme and Insomnia Cookies all have something running through the holiday, which falls on Monday, Sept. 7. Here's a rundown of who's offering what, broken down chain by chain so it's easy to scroll straight to the deal that matters most.
QDOBA
QDOBA is offering $2 off any online or app order through Saturday, Sept. 6, using the code FUNDIDO at checkout. The chain is also running a month-long "Diptember" celebration with 14 dips, salsas and sauces, including a free regular chips and guac on National Guacamole Day, Sept. 16, with the code GUACDAY, and a free regular chips and queso on National Queso Day, Sept. 20, with the code QUESODAY. Both offers require the same code to be entered at checkout for the discount to apply.
Wendy's
Wendy's recently rolled out a nugget deal covering a 10-piece order of Classic or Spicy Nuggets for $1.99. The app-only offer runs all the way through Sept. 27, resetting daily so customers can redeem it once a day, per Delish. Redeeming it requires downloading the Wendy's app and accessing a Rewards account.
Long John Silver's
Long John Silver's has a family-sized option: an 8-piece meal for $20 that the chain says can feed three to four adults, made up of Alaska pollock and all-white meat chicken with two family-sized sides and eight hushpuppies. That deal, available through Sept. 7 with the code 8PCFAM20, is online-only, making it an easy pick for anyone feeding a crowd without leaving the house.
Popeyes
Popeyes is offering 12 wings or tenders for $12 through its app and website, a deal that can only be redeemed once per order. Anyone craving a sandwich instead can get two chicken sandwiches for $9, an offer that's exclusive to the app and available for a limited time. Both deals are valid at participating locations only.
Cracker Barrel
Cracker Barrel is timing its own promotion to the return of the school year, bringing back its Free Kids Toy program through Sept. 7. Customers who buy a dine-in adult entrée along with a kid's meal can choose from six collectible B'loonie Petz toys, or opt for a $5-off coupon toward any other toy in the store. It's the kind of deal built for families still adjusting to the new school-year schedule.
Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme is giving doughnut fans a deal from Friday, Sept. 4 through Monday, Sept. 7: a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for $2 with the purchase of any dozen or 16-count Minis, including the chain's Pokémon-themed doughnut collection. Online orders can use the code BOGO2 to get the discount.
Insomnia Cookies
Insomnia Cookies is giving customers two free pints of Cookies IN Ice Cream with the purchase of a 24-pack of warm cookies at regular price, from Thursday, Sept. 3 through Sept. 7. The late-night cookie chain is also running deals throughout the month, including a buy-one-get-one offer on cookies Monday through Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. through Sept. 24, and a Tailgate Pack promotion where customers can buy 24 cookies and get six more free through Sept. 27. That last one lines up neatly with the start of football season, giving shoppers a reason to stock up beyond just the long weekend.
