BOOKMARK this Post: A List of Free Yakima-Area Birthday Perks

I have been told that it is a local Yakima secret that Mel's Diner will give you a free steak dinner on your birthday. If you don't eat steak, then I don't know if they will offer a substitute, but you can call them and find out! (509) 248-5382

Like burgers on your birthday? Then head over to Red Robin. Arrive before the lunch or dinner rush (believe me, the last thing you will want to do on your birthday is wait twenty to thirty minutes for a table)! You can even order your meal online or call ahead to get your b-day burger to-go!

If you are a member of MyPanera Rewards, then they will send you an email for a free treat. The gift choices include: Chocolate Chipper Cookie, Bear Claw, Cranberry Orange Muffin, or a Pecan Braid.

They will absolutely make you buy something first, but if you redeem this birthday offer then you'll get whatever free gift they are offering for the month (while supplies last).

If you sign up for the More Smiles Rewards then you can get a free birthday doughnut. They even have a "Scan And Pay" option with their phone app if you want to purchase a dozen of other doughnuts while you're there.

Show them your ID on your birthday and get a free birthday drink.

You have to be a member of the Starbucks Rewards to get one of their free birthday coffees. Their fine print also includes the fact that you have to sign up for their rewards program AT LEAST SEVEN (7) DAYS before your birthday. (Booooo! I found out about this perk too late to get my free birthday drink!)

This popular dive bar is tucked away for the locals right there on North 6th Ave . Rumor has it, they'll treat you right with a free steak dinner on your birthday.

If you sign up for the Sephora Beauty Insider or become one of their VIB's (Very Important Beauty), then you can get a free mini-makeup gift on your birthday! (The mini-gift is usually from Kat Von D or Drunk Elephant cosmetic lines.)

I got a free coupon in my email. I didn't even know Redbox did that kind of thing. How cool is that? (Just remember to return in your movie on time or you will end up paying through the nose in late fees!)

Receive a free dessert (up to $9.49 in value)! The catch is that you have to purchase not one, but TWO whole adult entrees.

This is another case of "I didn't even know they did that for your birthday!" coupons that I recently received in my email. Sweet!

Sign up for their Rewards program and get an email for a free order of snack wings on your birthday. Yum!

Dairy Queen/Orange Julius will email you a coupon for a free treat on your birthday!

After you sign up for Shari's Rewards program, not only do you get a free slice of pie, you also get a free slice of pie on your birthday!

Denny's Rewards program offers you a 20% discount when you first join, plus they give you a free "delicious dessert" on your birthday!

I don't know if this is true because I saw it on this website alleging that Old Country Buffet offers a free adult buffet dinner if you are a member of their Rewards program, but if you want to find out the truth for yourself, sign up before your birthday date. Your kids can even get a free gift on their birthday, too, when you add their name to your account.

Join the "Famous Nation" rewards program and receive a "tasty gift" for your birthday!

Register for the Big Yellow Cup Club and they'll give ya something special for your birthday.

When you sign up for offers at this link on Applebees.com, you will get a coupon for a free appetizer. Let's suppose your birthday was coming up in the next few days after you sign up, then VOILA! A free birthday appetizer for you!
