All Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve military personnel are invited to visit any of the three (3) Famous Dave’s locations in the Valley for a complementary lunch or dinner entree when they show their Military ID.

“Supporting our local Armed Services members means a great deal to me and my wife,” said John Erlandson, the Phoenix area Famous Dave’s Franchisee and Army Reserve Veteran and Ranger School graduate.  “We’re humbled by the tremendous sacrifice our Servicemen and Servicewomen make for all of us and this is just a small way, through our business and “award-winning” BBQ, to show our appreciation for everything they do to keep us and our families safe.  We want to recognize and honor them for their selflessness, not just on Armed Forces Day but throughout the year.”

Erlandson added that the Armed Forces Day event at Famous Dave’s will serve as a kick-off to a year-long promotion in which every Monday at all Famous Dave’s Valley locations, anyone with a Military ID or Military Family ID will receive a 20% discount on their meal – “Military Monday’s at Famous Dave’s.” Military Monday special starts Monday, May 18^th.
