Most people dread Tax Day, but at least there's a silver lining—free food and discounts from your favorite fast food chains. On Tuesday, April 15, restaurants across the U.S. are offering deals to make Tax Day 2025 a little less painful. Whether you’re celebrating a refund, lamenting what you owe or scrambling to file an extension, a free donut or cheap burger will surely hit the spot.
Big names like Burger King, Krispy Kreme, Shake Shack and Olive Garden are getting in on the action, offering limited-time promotions that include freebies and serious markdowns. It’s a good excuse to grab a treat and briefly forget about W-2s and 1099s.
