Fridays Chicken Sandwich

Through October 23rd (or until the shutdown is lifted), TGI Fridays is offering free meals to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and air traffic control workers at all 80+ U.S. locations across the country during the government shutdown.

This includes both traditional restaurant settings and non-traditional venues such as airports (it does exclude all Atlanta airport locations that are running an independent offer for TSA employees).

Eligible workers just need to present a valid employee ID to redeem one free meal per day from a specially curated menu that includes a Cheeseburger with fries, Chicken Fingers with fries, Crispy or Grilled Chicken Sandwich with fries, or Chicken Caesar Salad.

NOTE – This offer is available all day, every day for the duration of the two-week period, while supplies last or until the shutdown is lifted. At airport locations, meals will be available for to-go orders only.
