These food deals (and drink deals) and restaurant dining discounts are available throughout the Seattle-Tacoma metro area. You’ll find offers from local eateries, national chains, and fast-food restaurants. As always, we focus on those with modest prices. We may also feature more expensive options that offer a special meal or savings. Food and drink deals with an expiration date are listed first, followed by those that are available “for a limited time”.

Choose from daily, weekly, and monthly lists:
Always keep in mind that prices and participation can vary–a food deal may not be available at your nearest location. This is because national chains are often franchises that are locally owned and operated. A franchise can sometimes choose whether to participate in a national promotion.
When a minimum order purchase is specified, it is calculated BEFORE taxes, tips, or other fees.
Join the reward or loyalty program at places you frequent most–from coffee stands and casual eateries to fine dining restaurants. Members of loyalty programs get more discounts and deals, some delivered daily to your smartphone app, making it easy to save money on your most visited locations. We have more tips for choosing a restaurant loyalty program to help maximize your savings.
