Texas Roadhouse Veterans Day 2025: Exact Free Meal Times & How to Claim Your Special

Veterans and active-duty service members will once again eat free at Texas Roadhouse on Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025, when the steakhouse hands out meal vouchers between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. local time at every participating location nationwide. The 2025 Veterans Day special follows the brand’s long-running tradition of thanking military personnel with complimentary dining. Instead of sit-down service during the busy lunch rush, guests presenting a military ID, VA card or discharge papers will receive a physical voucher good for one of 10 entrées—such as a 6-oz. sirloin with two made-from-scratch sides—plus a non-alcoholic drink. Vouchers can be redeemed for dine-in or carryout any day through May 31, 2026, giving recipients plenty of time to enjoy their free meal. Key details veterans search for: • Veterans Day voucher pick-up window: 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. local time, Tuesday, 11/11/25. • Eligible guests: U.S. veterans, active-duty, National Guard and reservists with proof of service. • What’s included: Choice of 10 classic Texas Roadhouse entrées, two sides and a Coca-Cola product, sweet/iced tea or coffee. • Redemption period: Nov. 11, 2025 – May 31, 2026, for dine-in or to-go. • Locations: All participating Texas Roadhouse restaurants; check the store locator for address and local hours. Why vouchers instead of onsite dining? By distributing certificates, Texas Roadhouse eases Veterans Day crowding, lets guests choose a less hectic date to celebrate and ensures kitchens can maintain normal operations. The popular gesture has drawn millions of vets since its launch in 2011, and social media buzz typically spikes in early November as people ask, “What time does Texas Roadhouse give vouchers on Veterans Day?” Pro tips for 2025: 1. Arrive early: Lines often form before doors open, especially in military communities. 2. Bring valid ID: DD214, CAC, VA healthcare card or state driver’s license with veteran designation are all accepted. 3. Plan to dine later: Many veterans save their voucher for birthdays, anniversaries or when family visits home on leave. 4. Combine deals: Texas Roadhouse’s weekday Early Dine menu and “Wild West Wednesdays” can stretch the free entrée even further. With the exact 11 a.m.–2 p.m. distribution window confirmed, veterans can mark their calendars now and share the news with battle buddies.
