Teacher Appreciation Week 2025 is in full swing, and major restaurant chains are offering exclusive deals-if you know when and where to look.
Whataburger is treating educators to a free breakfast entrée from May 5–9, between 5 and 9 a.m. Just show your school ID at any participating location and choose from favorites like the Taquito with Cheese, Breakfast on a Bun, or Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit-dine-in, drive-thru, or takeout only
McDonald’s is also joining the celebration. On May 6, teachers can score a free soft drink or sweet tea by presenting a valid school ID. Some locations may offer free coffee or breakfast items, so check with your local restaurant
Starbucks is expected to offer teachers a 10% discount or a free tall brewed coffee during the week-just show your school ID, but availability may vary by location
Chipotle has not officially confirmed a national giveaway for 202, but in previous years, they’ve offered BOGO deals for teachers, so keep an eye on their announcements
Other chains like Sonic, McAlister’s Deli, and Noodles & Company are also offering freebies or discounts with a valid teacher ID
Check with restaurants near you for participation, as offers can vary by location. Don’t miss out-these deals end May 9!
