Here’s Where You Can Score Free Food on Your Birthday in Gainesville

You may be too old for some things, but free birthday food isn’t one of them. If you thought the free Publix cookies you got as a kid were as good as it gets, you are as wrong as gaucho pants. Here is a list of places to get some free Gainesville grub to make your birthday even better:

Breakfast

To start off with the most important meal of the day, head over to IHOP where you can pick up a free breakfast. If you donut feel like eating a short stack, you can grab a free doughnut and cup of coffee at Krispy Kreme.

Hopefully your birthday isn’t on a Sunday because Chick-fil-a gives away a meal and a drink. If you’re craving a sandwich, Firehouse subs offers a free sub as well as Subway. Also, check out Moe’s to pick up a free burrito.

If you also have an endless pit for a stomach like me, you can swing by Carrabba’s and pick up a free appetizer.

Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts give away a drink of choice on your special day. Lollicup and Planet Smoothie also offer a free drink to birthday guys/gals.

For the big finale, stop by Harry’s to grab a free dessert of your choice or go to BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse to taste a little bit of heaven on earth a.k.a a Pazookie. You can also pick up a Hyppo pop at both of their locations and a free cup of frozen yogurt at Mochi.
