Many chain restaurants have happy hour deals to, well, make you happy! Most of these deals are on certain drinks such as cocktails as well as different appetizers.
Chain restaurants are the savior for many a hungry belly or thirst quenching days. They are often convenient, reliable, and charming. That is just the environment.
The food portions can also be very pleasing and generous with comfort-food-based menus that are ideal when you are on the go and need to stop that hunger from taking over.
Furthermore, the prices are usually pretty reasonable too.
Although the prices are generous, food chains across the country frequently put on happy hour deals.
These include substantial discounts on many drinks, and on occasions, food. If you’re free and close to a chain restaurant while the happy hour is on, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity for cheaper drinks!
Before you start counting down the clock to the next happy hour, here are 11 of the best happy hour deals in different chain restaurants across the USA.
