National Hamburger Day is celebrated on May 28th each year, which always happens around Memorial Day Weekend — arguably the biggest grilling day of the year. So, burger lovers: Save room for one more burger. Or two. Because a lot of burger restaurants offer buy one get one free deals in honor of this burger-centric holiday.
To help you find out where you should dine in honor of the holiday, we put together this list of National Hamburger Day freebies and deals. You’ll find a ton of great deals for burgers, fries, and more.
Yes, there are some cheeseburger deals on this list, but today isn’t National Cheeseburger Day. That’s in September.
Quick note about this list: We kept it to national or large regional burger chains. Your local restaurants may be having special deals to celebrate today, but this list would be too long and overwhelming if we included all of the local burger restaurants, so we had to omit those.
This is just one of the annual days restaurants celebrate with free food. Make sure you don’t miss out on any this year. Check out our list of the Top 20+ National Days For Freebies And Deals and mark your calendars.
