These days, with so many restaurants pushing app-only deals, it’s getting harder to find grocery stores with a senior discount or a senior menu. Even a small discount - like 10% off can make a difference when meals run $20 to $30 a pop.

We’ve rounded up a bunch of spots that still show seniors some love, including big names like Burger King, Dairy Queen, El Pollo Loco, Golden Corral and Outback Steakhouse. Some of these deals work for AARP members too, no matter your age.

Whether you’re looking to stretch your budget or just want a cheap bite, this list has you covered and depending on where you go, you might even score some cashback on top of the discount.
