Golden Corral Military Appreciation Night 2026
Honoring Our Military for the 26th Year
Golden Corral is celebrating its 26th annual Military Appreciation Night on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. From 4:00 p.m. until closing, participating Golden Corral restaurants will welcome veterans and active-duty military personnel for a complimentary buffet dinner and beverage as a heartfelt thank-you for their service to our nation.
This annual tradition brings together military veterans, service members, families and communities to recognize the sacrifices made by the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.
The complimentary meal is available to those who have served in the U.S. military, including veterans, retirees, active-duty personnel, National Guard members and reservists. Family members and friends are welcome to attend, but regular meal prices apply to guests who are not eligible for the military appreciation offer.

Show your gratitude to our service members.
The Great Clips Thank a Veteran program was created to show gratitude to the people who keep us safe. To date, we’ve provided over 2.3 million free haircuts to active and veteran military service members—adding up to more than $35 million in complimentary haircuts.
Great Clips provides service members with free haircuts on Veterans Day
Thank a Veteran works in two ways. First, every year on November 11, veterans and active service members can come into any U.S. Great Clips salon and get a free haircut, or a free haircut card for a future visit. So if you’re a service member or veteran, be sure to stop by a salon on Veterans Day so we can say “Thank you!”
Second, if you’re a non-military customer, you can visit a salon on November 11 and receive a free haircut card to give to a service member or veteran as a way of saying thank you.
Active and veteran military service members in Canada can receive a free haircut or a free haircut card at participating salons on Remembrance Day (November 11). Please contact your local Great Clips salon to see if they are participating.
