Eating out for less

Deals that repeat — so you can plan around them — plus what the big chains are running right now and which New Jersey restaurant weeks are coming. Every line was read on the chain’s own site, and you can open the quote to see exactly what they said.

Read this before you drive anywhereDeals vary franchise to franchise — call first. Checked 2026-09-29.

A deal a chain advertises nationally may not run at your location, may cost something different, or may not exist there at all — several of the chains below say exactly that in their own small print. So call the restaurant, or open its page in the chain’s app, before you drive anywhere for one of these. Everything here was checked on 2026-09-29, and prices move faster than this page does.

These are the useful ones, because you can plan around them. They move slowly, so a Tuesday deal is usually still a Tuesday deal next month.

Monday

Moe's Southwest Grill

Moe Monday — discounted burrito or bowl

Varies by location

Every Monday, Moe Rewards members get a full-sized burrito or bowl at a reduced price, with the chips and salsa that always come free. Guac is included on the Homewrecker; on anything else it is a paid add-on.

Rewards signup needed

How it works, and what the chain actually saysread on the chain’s own page · 2026-09-29

How: Join Moe Rewards (free). The Monday price appears in your account automatically — there is no promo code. Redeem on moes.com, in the app, or in-store at checkout.

Moe's own FAQ on that page says "Pricing varies by location. Check your local offer in your Moe Rewards account every Monday." Participating locations only.

“Every Monday, Moe Rewards members get a discounted full-sized burrito or bowl, plus always-free chips, house-made salsa and sauces.”

Tuesday

Buffalo Wild Wings

Buy one get one 50% off bone-in wings, every Tuesday

Order bone-in wings on a Tuesday and the second order is half price.

Rewards signup neededOrder online

How it works, and what the chain actually saysread on the chain’s own page · 2026-09-29

How: Sign in to your Blazin' Rewards account and order online or in the app.

This one only shows up once you are signed in, so treat it as a rewards offer rather than a walk-in special. The bone-in wings menu page never mentions Tuesday at all. Confirm with your location.

“EVERY TUESDAY — BOGO 50% OFF BONE-IN WINGS. Wings and Tuesdays are just better together. Get BOGO 50% off Bone-in Wings every Tuesday.”

$10

Platters for one at $10 when you order online on a Tuesday and enter the code.

Order onlinePromo code

How it works, and what the chain actually saysread on the chain’s own page · 2026-09-29

How: Order online from longjohnsilvers.com and use code 10TUES at checkout.

Online only, code required, participating restaurants. One thing worth knowing: the chain's own scheduling data calls this a Thursday deal, while the page you and I can see says Tuesday. Go with Tuesday, but call ahead if you are making a special trip.

“Use code: 10TUES at checkout. At participating restaurants. Tuesday Online Only.”

Wednesday

Del Taco

"Wednesday Hookups" for Del Taco Rewards members

Del Taco lists a Wednesday offer as a standing benefit at every one of its rewards tiers. What the offer actually is, the website never says — it lands in the app.

Rewards signup neededApp only

How it works, and what the chain actually saysread on the chain’s own page · 2026-09-29

How: Join Del Taco Rewards and open the app on Wednesday to see what the week's offer is before you go.

We can confirm the perk exists at every tier. We cannot tell you what it is, because Del Taco does not publish it — check the app the morning of. Del Taco is a west-coast-weighted chain; check the locator before planning around this.

“Queso level earns 8 points per $. Wednesday Hookups included!”

Sonic Drive-In

Half-price drinks and slushes when you order in the app

Any time you order online or in the app

Any drink or slush at half the menu price, every time, as long as you are a registered user ordering online or in the Sonic app. This replaced the old fixed Happy Hour window.

App onlyOrder onlineRewards signup needed

How it works, and what the chain actually saysread on the chain’s own page · 2026-09-29

How: Create a Sonic Rewards account and place the order online or in the app rather than at the stall.

Sonic's own legal text continues: "Discount based on menu price; limited time only. Mobile ordering available only at select locations; hours may vary." So this is not promised to be permanent, and not every drive-in takes mobile orders.

“Get half price Drinks and Slushes every time you order online or in the SONIC App as a registered user. Add-Ins cost extra. Excludes Mini size, Coffee, Cold Brew Iced Coffee, Combos and Wacky Pack® Kids Meals.”

Wawa

Sizzli + hash brown + drink breakfast bundle, 5am to 11am

5am–11am, daily

Any Sizzli sandwich, a hash brown, and your choice of self-serve hot coffee, handcrafted iced coffee or a Coca-Cola Freestyle fountain drink, bundled in one transaction.

In store

How it works, and what the chain actually saysread on the chain’s own page · 2026-09-29

How: Buy all three in the same transaction, in store or on the Wawa app.

Wawa's disclaimer: "Limited time only. Available 5-11am. … Excludes self-serve iced coffee, double-meat Sizzli® sandwiches, bagel and croissant melts, Built-to-Order® breakfast sandwiches and burritos ordered at the kiosk, combos, and catering." The homepage does not state the price, so we do not either.

In New Jersey: Wawa is everywhere in New Jersey, so this is the most broadly usable entry on the page.

“Grab any Sizzli, hash brown, and your choice of hot coffee, iced coffee, or Coca-Cola® Freestyle fountain drink. 5am to 11am.”

Limited-time offers and everyday value menus. These are the entries most likely to have expired since 2026-09-29 — treat the date on each card as the whole story.

Taco Bell

Luxe Cravings Boxes at $5, $7 and $9

$5 / $7 / $9

Three tiers of combo box. The $7 Supreme is a Chicken Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Crunchy Taco, Cinnamon Twists and a medium fountain drink. The $9 Discovery is Gordita Crunch Duos, a Doritos Locos Taco, a Crunchy Taco, chips with nacho cheese sauce and a medium fountain drink.

How: Order in store, in the app or online. No code.

Straight from Taco Bell's own small print on that page: "At participating US Taco Bell® locations for a limited time only, while supplies last. Contact store for price and participation which varies." The prices above are the advertised national ones and your restaurant may not match them.

“Choose classics at $5. Go supreme at $7. Or discover must-haves and the latest picks at $9.”

A free doughnut, redeemable against your next purchase, as the signup reward.

How: Download the app or create an account at krispykreme.com.

Requires a purchase to redeem, and Krispy Kreme's own FAQ has a question titled "DO ALL KRISPY KREME SHOPS PARTICIPATE IN THE REWARDS PROGRAM?" — so not every shop does.

Past editions are kept on purpose: with an annual event, the useful fact is which month to watch for it.

Statewide

New Jersey Restaurant Week

Coming up

Friday, October 16 – Thursday, October 22, 2026

Run by the New Jersey Restaurant & Hospitality Association. Participating restaurants must offer a special menu available all seven days — the association gives a three-course $35 dinner or a flat 15% discount as examples, so the deal is set restaurant by restaurant, not centrally. The site blocks plain fetches; this was read through a rendering fetcher.

Coming up

November 6 – 15, 2026$32.26 or $42.26, three courses

Three courses — appetizer, entrée and dessert — at one of two fixed price points. Which restaurants take part, and at which tier, is listed on the event's own site.

Atlantic City

Taste Atlantic City

Announced

March 2027 — exact dates not yet posted

This is what Atlantic City Restaurant Week became — a month-long event rather than a week. Visit Atlantic City has not posted 2027 dates or menu tiers yet, so there is nothing more to report than the month.

Morristown

Morristown Restaurant Week

Annual

Ran April 20 – 24, 2026. Annual, watch April.

Participating restaurants offer prix fixe menus for lunch and/or dinner; the tourism site does not publish a central price, so it varies by restaurant.

Newark Restaurant Week

Annual

Ran June 19 – 28, 2026. Annual, watch June.

Newark runs a free digital passport with the event rather than a single fixed prix fixe price; the 2026 page did not publish a central price.

Burlington County

Burlington County Restaurant Week

Annual

Ran August 2 – 8, 2026. Annual, watch early August.

The county posts each restaurant's own menu and price — 2026 ran from a $20 prix fixe lunch up to a $45 three-course dinner, set per restaurant rather than centrally.

Most chain deals are not on the chain’s website at all — they are issued inside the app, to your account, for your store. Here is what happened when we fetched each one on 2026-09-29, including the big gap: we could not read a single one of the chains people mean by kids eat free or senior discount day, so this page claims nothing about them.
