When you think of Black Friday, chances are you think of shopping, either in person or online. Maybe you think about the lines that form outside clothing stores in the early morning hours. Maybe you think about your local electronics joint being overrun by shoppers. But while we all may be primed to think about taking advantage of discounts on holiday gifts or brands and products we’ve been coveting for ourselves, there’s another kind of Black Friday deal you shouldn’t sleep on: food!
In 2024, more than 50 national restaurants and fast-food chains across the United States offered Black Friday deals and discounts. This year, there’s already a substantial list of Black Friday food offerings — and a handful of anticipated (but unconfirmed) deals, too. Not only is this a nice opportunity for college students on a budget (because, come on, it’s always a good time to score some cheap eats), but these Black Friday food deals also provide you with energy to get through the hustle of in-person shopping. So why not, during a weekend full of Thanksgiving leftovers, indulge on an affordable meal out? Here are 10 chains with Black Friday 2025 food deals to fuel your shopping.
7-Eleven
From Nov. 27 to Nov. 30, 7-11 7-Eleven Raise the Roost locations will be offering a BOGO sale on their Southern-inspired variety of chicken sandwiches and chicken biscuits. Plus, from Nov. 26-30, Speedy Café locations will have $5 one-topping large pizzas for Speedy Rewards members, and the brand’s delivery service, 7NOW Delivery, will offer $20 off orders of $30 or more with the code THANKS*** in the app.
