If you don’t mind driving to Denver, McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant is hosting its 11th Annual Veterans Appreciation Event on Sunday, November 8th. Veterans can choose a complimentary lunch or dinner entrée. This offer is for veterans as defined by the Veterans Administration, Title 38 US Code 101, which is “a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable.” Proper ID including a VA card, VFW card, American Legion card, discharge papers, DD214 or other Veterans ID must be presented to the server. Restaurants will not be able to seat parties larger than six.

The two McCormick & Schmick's locations in Denver are at 1659 Wazee St., 80202 8100 E. Union Ave., 80237. Space is limited so reservations are required.

Golden Corral restaurants nationwide will be hosting their 9th annual Military Appreciation Monday dinner on Monday, November 16th from 5:00-9:00 p.m. The free “thank you tribute” dinner is available to any person who has served in the United States Military (veteran, retired, currently serving, or in the National Guard or Reserves). Family and friends must pay the regular dinner menu pricing (unless they meet the service requirements).

There are two Golden Corral restaurants in Colorado Springs: 410 E. Woodmen Road, 80920 and 1970 Waynoka Rd., 80915.
