September is giving us a very specific kind of joy: cheap sandwiches, a burger BOGO, app-only snacks, bonus-points days, and enough limited-time drinks to make a whole little calendar out of it.
These are the September restaurant deals with dates or clear availability information from the brands. Restaurant participation, local pricing, and app offers can vary, so always check your closest location or the brand’s app before you head out. We are keeping deals that already happened on the calendar too, but they will be crossed out and marked Ended so you can tell what is still available at a glance.

Jimmy John’s has a $5.99 sandwich deal now
The Labor Day BOGO is over, but cheap sandwiches are still on the calendar. For a limited time, Jimmy John’s is offering Turkey Tom, The Pepe, Vito, and The Veggie sandwiches for $5.99.
Check the official Jimmy John’s deal page or your local store before ordering, because participation and availability can vary.
Dairy Queen has a free cheeseburger deal before September 18
DQ Rewards members can start National Cheeseburger Day early. From September 14 through September 18, participating DQ Grill & Chill locations are offering a free Single Original Cheeseburger Signature Stackburger with an app or online order of $1 or more.
The deal is limited to one redemption per person, and DQ says new rewards offers may take up to 24 hours to appear after joining.
Buffalo Wild Wings has a one-day burger BOGO coming up
National Cheeseburger Day is September 18, and Buffalo Wild Wings is planning a buy-one-get-one burger offer at participating locations. Buy one regular-priced cheeseburger and get another burger of equal or lesser value free.
The brand says the offer does not apply to lunch-combo or kids-menu burgers and cannot be combined with other discounts. Delivery availability can vary, and there is a one-offer limit.
SONIC’s September value calendar is doing the most
SONIC’s updated $7 Big Deal Meal includes a SONIC Cheeseburger, a medium drink, medium Tots or Groovy Fries, and a Vanilla Sundae with Hot Fudge, Strawberry, or Caramel syrup. The same September update also calls out a $1.99 Jr. Double Cheeseburger when ordering in store or through the SONIC app; tax is extra.
There are two specific snack dates to remember: $1.49 Mozzarella Sticks on September 15 and 22, plus $0.99 Corn Dogs on September 17.
If you are in a dessert mood instead, the new SONIC Banana Collection is already live, including the returning Banana Pudding Shake.
Arby’s has a value box and the Steak Nuggets are back
Arby’s $7.99 Meat & 3 Value Box now has a Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich option. The meal also includes small Curly Fries, two Mozzarella Sticks, a Peach Cobbler Roll, and a small drink.
Steak Nuggets are back nationwide for a limited time in five- and nine-count orders, with Steak ‘n Potato and Steak ‘n Mac bowls plus Horsey Ranch Sauce. We have all the details and photos in our Steak Nuggets story.
Buffalo Wild Wings has more than the burger deal
Beyond September 18, the B-Dubs Pick 6 starts at $19.99 and lets you mix and match two entrées, two sides, and two fountain drinks for dine-in, takeout, or delivery. The brand’s current football page also highlights its B-Dubs Draft Kit and Championship Ring for fantasy-football leagues. The free-fountain-drink draft perk ran through September 9. That part has ended.
For a limited time, BWW is also offering free delivery on an order of 20 bone-in wings, large fries, and four dips when you use code FREEDELIVERY. The current bundle starts at $21.99. Order through the Buffalo Wild Wings app or website; participating locations and delivery availability vary, third-party delivery is excluded, and taxes and service fees can still apply.
And if you want something more fun than practical, Buffalo Wild Wings has a new Deluxe Dirty Shirley and Strawberry Dirty Soda. Here is what is in both of those nostalgic drinks.
Dunkin’ is turning September into a points scavenger hunt
Dunkin’ Rewards has several bonus-point windows this month: 100 points on Mondays from September 7 through September 28 when you order ahead; 100 points a day on September 12 and 13 for a Tennis Beverage; 250 points for buying three Refreshers from September 14 through 18; and 3X points after 1 p.m. from September 21 through 25.
For the beverage details, see our guide to the Dunkin’ tennis drinks and mini tennis can.
Baskin-Robbins has a 3-for-$15 September deal
Through September, Baskin-Robbins is letting guests mix and match three qualifying items for $15. The qualifying lineup includes small Mangonadas and Smoothies, Double Scoops, and Creature Creations.
Also worth knowing: the new Biscoff collection is now in shops. We broke down the Biscoff ice cream, beverage, and Cookie Cake in a Box here.
Worth a destination detour: Cheez-It Court in Los Angeles
This is not a nationwide deal, but it is a very fun September-only food stop: Cheez-It Court at Westfield Topanga is open from September 2 through September 30, with Cheez-It-inspired items including the Cheez-Y-Bun, Crunchy Cheez-Dog, and Cheez-Steak.
It is at Westfield Topanga, 6600 Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Canoga Park, California. Hours are 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, noon to 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and noon to 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday. If you are local or visiting L.A. this month, it is worth putting on your snack itinerary.
