Outback Steakhouse gives military members, veterans, first responders, and medical staff 10% off the entire check — all day, every day — through its year-round Heroes Discount. The 10% comes off your whole bill excluding alcohol and applicable taxes, and it applies every day of the week, not just on Veterans Day. Whether you are active-duty, a veteran, a police officer, a firefighter, a nurse, or a doctor, you can claim it simply by presenting a qualifying ID when you pay. Below is everything verified from Outback’s official military offers page: who qualifies, what the 10% covers, the exclusions, and exactly how to claim it.

Bring a qualifying ID. Outback accepts a U.S. Uniformed Services ID, retired ID, current LES, Veterans Organization Card, DD214, VIC (Veteran Identification Card), or a photo of you in U.S. uniform.
