Summer Olympics fast food deals that deserve a gold medal: Krispy Kreme, IHOP & more

Several restaurants across the country have launched food deals to celebrate the Olympics, and you could make some savings that’ll make you feel like you just won gold.

With the Summer 2024 Olympics happening in Paris, restaurants in the US are doing their bit to keep customers well-fed for less, so that you can eat like you have the appetite of an Olympic athlete.

From the viral chocolate muffins to McDonald’s France’s globally inspired menu, there has been some buzz around the food in Paris right now, but if you’re staying stateside, these restaurants have great deals for you.

Best food deals during Olympics 2024

The restaurants listed below are running promotions throughout August, whether it’s savings on their regular menu – or a whole new item to celebrate The Games.

BurgerFi

BurgerFi sells high-quality burgers and fries that are all made with Angus beef. These massive burgers are the perfect thing to satisfy an Olympic athlete.

BurgerFi offers a BFD Deal where customers can get any burger, fries, and drink deal for $11.99 – and this deal is available any day of the week. Although this isn’t a food deal that’s been made specifically for the Olympics, it’s a great deal to chow down on while you watch The Games.

California Pizza Kitchen

California Pizza Kitchen has the following offers in-store between July 26 — Aug. 11.

• Free Coca-Cola with any pizza purchase on July 26.
• Score 50% off during the restaurant’s all-day happy hour throughout the Olympics. The offer is valid on a selection of red, white, and blue drinks.

Denny’s

Any athlete will tell you that a big breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and what better place to get one than at Denny’s?

Denny’s customers can get free delivery on the chain’s website from July 31 with a minimum $8 purchase as part of their Summer Olympics food deal. Participation may vary and the offer can’t be combined with other discounts.

Firehouse Subs

Customers at Firehouse Subs can get a free brownie if they follow some very specific instructions.

You can get a free Star-Spangled Brownie when you spend $3 or more by whispering the words “Home of the Brave” to the cashier at any location. The deal is also available for online orders by using the code HOMEOFTHEBRAVE in the chain’s app or on the website between July 27 — Aug. 10.

IHOP

Another breakfast hero, IHOP, is coming to give you the best possible start to your day.

The pancake restaurant chain is offering all-you-can-eat pancakes for $5 until September 15. The promotion is for dine-in customers at U.S.-based locations only. Participating customers get a full stack of five buttermilk pancakes, followed by additional flapjacks, served two at a time, as requested.

KFC

KFC is a staple American restaurant, and with all that protein in the chicken, it’s a top rest day pick for athletes.

Between July 26 — Aug. 11, KFC customers can score 40% off the chain’s 12-piece Chicken Bucket.

Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme has launched its Go USA! donut range to celebrate Team USA at the Olympics, and it comes with two all-new donuts.

On top of this, from August 1 Krispy Kreme has launched an Olympics food deal for Krispy Kreme Rewards members. They can get $1 Original Glazed doughnuts, in-shop, and via Krispy Kreme’s app and website. 

Long John Silver’s

What better way to celebrate the Olympic swimming events than with some fresh fish for dinner?

You can get any of the Long John Silver’s shrimp platters for $10. These come in popcorn, grilled, or battered varieties and have 15 pieces – so are perfect for sharing.

P.F Chang’s

Watching The Games with friends this weekend? Why not order some takeout?

You can get free delivery from P.F. Chang’s from Sunday, July 28, when you order on the P.F. Chang’s website or in its mobile app. (Use code FREEDELIVERY at checkout; not valid for third-party delivery service orders.)

Red Robin

Red Robin has gone a step further and released an entire Olympics-themed meal. The drink is called Star-Spangled Spritzer, made with Sprite, and wild raspberry syrup, all topped with blue cotton candy, and served in a light-up souvenir cup.

The burger weighs the same as an Olympic gold medal ( a meager 18 ounces) and contains three burger patties and is served with bottomless steak fries or another choice of side.

Smoothie King

You’ve got to get fruits in your diet if you want to be as fit and healthy as an athlete. And what better way to do it than blending it all into a smoothie?

Smoothie King rewards members can upgrade their smoothie from 20 oz. to 32 oz. for free on Fridays. Because bigger is better, right?

White Castle

The Olympic rings are iconic, but they aren’t edible. What are? White Castle’s chicken rings

Customers can enjoy a 10 count of these iconic snacks for only $3.99. Pair these with one of their iconic sliders for a low-cost meal while you’re watching The Games.
