Move over Flemish giants. This weekend, many people will honor the world’s largest rabbit and it somehow isn’t you.
Easter has arrived, and whether you celebrate the holiday or not, there’s more than Peeps, Reese’s eggs, and glazed hams in store for your belly. The holiday, which lands on April 17, prompts loads of restaurants to offer special deals that are a mix of offering a discount for stopping past the drive-thru window as you travel or offering an alternative to cooking a meal at home yourself. You’re going to find offers from Carl’s Jr., Friendly’s, Pollo Campero, Panda Express, and many other restaurants.
Here are the best deals you’re going to find on Easter.
