Leap Day is already a notable date simply because it only rolls around once every four years. But Leap Day 2024 will be particularly exciting as restaurant chains across the country roll out exciting deals to help celebrate the occasion.
Major fast-food chains and sit-down eateries alike have already announced a myriad of special offers that customers can cash in on come tomorrow, Feb. 29. The deals range from tantalizing freebies to menu item discounts to opportunities to score extra rewards points for chain restaurant loyalty programs.
Read on for details on the 15 best restaurant deals you won't want to miss this Leap Day—and how you can take advantage of them!
Chipotle
Adding guacamole to your Chipotle order will usually cost you extra, but the chain will offer the add-on free of charge on Leap Day. The deal is only available to customers who order a full-priced entrée through the Chipotle app or website on Feb. 29. Those who apply the code EXTRA24 at checkout can receive either a small side of guac or top their meal with guac for free.
Krispy Kreme
If your birthday happens to fall on Leap Day, you can score a dozen of Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed doughnuts free of charge on Feb, 29, no purchase required. Customers will need to show proof of their birthday and redeem the offer in stores or at the drive-thru.
The dessert chain also has another deal lined up for customers who won't be celebrating their birthdays on Feb. 29. Those who purchase any full-price dozen can also score an additional dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for $2.29 in a nod to Leap Day's "2/29" date. The deal will be available in stores, online, and at the drive-thru.

Taco Bell
Taco Bell Rewards members can score the fan-favorite Crunchwrap Supreme for just $2.29 on Leap Day.
