Labor Day is an annual holiday when national restaurants and stores offer free and discounted food.

Sit-down restaurants, fast-food joints, convenience stores, and store brands celebrate Labor Day every year by offering free or cheap menu items, and cash back/rebates. Whether you want pizza, a sandwich, cinnamon roll, cookie, ice cream, or a burger, you’re likely to find a Labor Day food deal.

Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 7, 2026
