Tips

Weekday food deals get a lot of attention (Thirsty Thursday deals, anyone?), but Friday food specials might top them all. Most restaurants don't advertise Friday food deals, probably because it's their busiest night.

Since we never shy away from a money-saving challenge, we tracked down the best Friday restaurant specials (even the secret ones) so you can skip cooking without breaking your budget. We even found hidden gems and discounted restaurant gift cards for extra savings.

Want deals all week long? Check out our other daily restaurant deal roundups: Monday restaurant deals, Tuesday food specials, and Wednesday food deals.
