Sunday is Mother’s Day.
Take a minute to panic, because you have just realized it is only hours away.
OK, now for a plan.
According to Restaurant.org, Mother’s Day is the most popular holiday for eating out, and a recent National Restaurant Association survey showed that 37 percent of those polled planned to do just that. Twenty-one percent said they would be picking up a dinner from a restaurant to take home to mom.
With restaurants offering all kinds of specials and in some cases freebies, it’s shaping up to be a good weekend for mom to stay out of the kitchen.
Here are a few restaurant deals you may want to consider this Mother’s Day weekend.
(Note: Not every restaurant in a chain may be honoring the deals, be sure to check with local restaurants to confirm the deals before you go. Most offers are dine-in only and can’t be used with any other discount or with any coupons. Prices may vary with location.)
