Love Is on the Menu: Valentine's Day 2026 Food Deals
Valentine’s Day is on Saturday, so popular restaurants are rolling out the usual mix of heart-shaped food, prix fixe menus, and limited-time gimmicks. From $4 convenience store chocolate to $90 multi-course dinners, this year’s lineup runs the full spectrum of romantic, practical, and slightly ridiculous. Whether you’re planning a date night, grabbing something casual, or just in it for the novelty, here’s what’s on the menu this February 14.
The Cheap Stuff
7-Eleven is offering heart-shaped donuts topped with colorful sprinkles, and they're offering two 7-Select King-Size chocolate bars for $4.
Hardee's brought back heart-shaped biscuits through February 15. They're also doing iced coffee now. A breakfast date at Hardee's isn't the worst idea if you're on a budget.
Pizza Hut has heart-shaped pizza that are available as a medium one-topping on hand-tossed crust. It's available until February 22.
Middle Ground
TGI Fridays has a three-course meal for two for $50. Appetizers, entrées, dessert. February 13–15. Standard chain restaurant Valentine's setup.
Ruby Tuesday's doing Cupid's Dinner for Two starting at $49.99. Available all month, which is convenient if you don't want to deal with the February 14 rush. Several entrées, two desserts.
California Pizza Kitchen's Sweet Deal for Two is $60. Starter, two entrées, and dessert. You can dine-in or get takeout, February 9–15.
Carrabba's has a four-course dinner for two for $65. Dine-in only though, February 5–15. Appetizer, soup or salad, two entrées, shared dessert. Pretty standard Italian chain deal.
If You're Spending Money
P.F. Chang's is doing a five-course thing for two for $89.99. February 12–16, dine-in only, reservations required. Five courses at P.F. Chang's feels like a lot.
The Melting Pot is celebrating Valentine's all month. They're pushing the romantic fondue angle hard. Check their website for reservations if that's your thing.
The Weird Stuff
Insomnia Cookies is doing late-night romantic dine-in. You can make reservations for February 12 and 13 from 8 p.m. to midnight if you're an Insomnia Rewards member. Late-night cookie dates are actually kind of a move.
They're also rolling out Valentine's dips like Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Caramel starting on February 9 while supplies last.
Krispy Kreme went all out on Valentine's doughnuts. I Love You a Choco-Lot filled with chocolate Kreme. Teddy Bear Cookies & Kreme with a white chocolate bear face. You're Berry Sweet with strawberry icing. Sprinkled with Love with buttercreme and heart sprinkles. The names are a bit aggressive.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe has something called the Fur-Ever Duo for people celebrating with their pets that includes a Puppy Power Bowl and Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie through March 3.
Waffle House Is Taking Reservations
Waffle House is doing Valentine's Day dinner reservations at 218 locations across 22 states. You can book online.
Waffle House reservations, like it's a real restaurant.
No judgment if that's your Valentine's plan. Scattered, smothered, and covered on February 14 honestly sounds better than most overpriced prix fixe menus.
What This All Means
Valentine's Day food deals go from $4 at 7-Eleven to $90 at P.F. Chang's. Everything's heart-shaped. Cookies, pizza, biscuits, and donuts. There's even a dog bowl option and Waffle House is pretending to be fancy.
Figure out your budget. Make a reservation if you need one. Or skip the whole thing and order pizza on February 15 when it's not shaped like a heart and will cost less.
