Some restaurants give out free birthday meals to help you celebrate your birthday. These are similar to birthday clubs but you don't get a wimpy dessert or a small side serving - you get a complete free birthday meal - no purchase required.

To get your free birthday meals you'll want to use the links below to sign up for the clubs. During the month of your birthday you'll receive your free birthday meal in form of an email that can be taken into the restaurant and redeemed. Be sure to read the fine print on the offers to make sure you use it before it expires.

Sometimes restaurants change their free birthday meals promotions or individual restaurants decide not to participate. So be sure to call your local restaurant before heading in to get your free birthday meal.

Tip: Be sure to sign up for these free birthday meals a few months in advance so they have time to send you all your birthday freebies.
