Happy Birthday To You!

If you’ve been wondering where in Asheville you can get free food for your birthday, then this guide is for you! Below you’ll find over 80+ restaurants and companies ready to celebrate you on your big day! While you can take advantage of some of these the day of, the majority will require advanced registration, (days, weeks, or a month in advance) either through their website or by downloading their app. With that in mind, we highly recommend creating a new email account to use for registering, so that they don’t overwhelm your regular account.
Please keep in mind that offers can and do change or get discontinued at any time, with no notice. But, thankfully you’ll have dozens more to choose from!
Let us know if we’re missing any in the Asheville or surrounding area, and we’ll get them added! Please also let us know if you become aware of any that have been discontinued, so that we can keep this guide up to date for all to enjoy!
