Restaurant discounts for seniors these days aren’t relegated to the “early bird” hours anymore. In fact, there are plenty of restaurants that offer discounts throughout the day, including for late-night dining. And that’s a good thing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2017 Consumer Expenditure Survey, people ages 65 to 74 spend an average of $2,769 on eating out each year. If you’d like to shave a couple hundred bucks off the top of that amount, you’re in the right place. We’ve rounded up some of the best restaurant discounts around. Whether you’re an AARP member or not, there are plenty of places out there to get your discount on (Join AARP here).
