I read about the free dinner for the first 150ppl, Wednesday in the NY Post, and it said to email 81 about the free dinner . I emailed them at ,well about this time,8-9 am and the reply from 81 came back that it was already booked for the free dinner. I think it was a scam to begin with just to get people to show up and than when they get there they find out its been booked,but,hungry the customer stays to eat their new discounted menu anyway.
Please make sure to check on these things before saying they ar free.

I mean, friday night...free dinner. That has scam written all over it in my opinion. I'll take my chances eating something certain tonight like mcdonalds
well i watch the morning new every day and i seen what you were all doing so iam taking this change and see if i could win this me and my husband has not been out in so long i could and can not remember we have been together for 14 years and never had a honeymoon we married in 1999 and been together in 1995 so it would be so nice to have a day to our self and yes we have kids 6 and just to say this man walk in and took what was not his and been a great step father not just a dad but father to our kids so this free food and day out would be nice because iam hunger for some of whats cooking there hahahaha thank you and have a bless day
It may sound like a scam but it does not kill to try. As long as they do not tell people to come inside and eat and then bring them a big ass check. I'm emailing them and I will see what they have to say. If not I just try to get the free t shirt. the economy is so bad that everybody seen to be giving free stuff which I think they all should.
