Clothes and electronics aren’t the only items marked down on Black Friday: A number of restaurants have also announced a range of deals (some of which include free food) on their meals, snacks, and gift cards.

In addition to the grub sold in restaurants, fast food chains, and other eateries, there are also discounts galore on food and food-related products both in stores and online—in fact, they are so plentiful that they belong on their own list (which probably exists somewhere).

As always, this isn’t an exhaustive list of every restaurant offer available on Black Friday—just a few of many. Enjoy!
