Our Annual List Of Where To Find The Best Half-Priced And Discounted Food Deals Every Day Of The Week In Dallas Has Been Updated For 2019.
Infographics by Jessika Hardy.
How often do you open up your Instagram to see your friend’s story at yet another restaurant around town and immediately feel the FOMO sinking in? You look longingly at the apple bacon sliders in their post, mocking you as your stomach lets out an unruly growl.
That fear of missing out is probably becoming increasingly unavoidable, too, as DFW saw the biggest influx in population in the State of Texas last year. With population growth comes urban development, leading to even more restaurants your stomach will be longing for via Instagram.
You can rest assured, though, because we at Central Track are here to cure you from your FOMO with a list of spots throughout the Dallas area that offer daily food discounts that will surely get you off Instagram, and instead, land you in front of a plate of nachos.
This list includes discounted meals, half-priced appetizers, pizza, burgers — the list goes on. There is always a chance we missed your favorite special in town, though, so if you know or hear about a particular deal that isn’t on our list, give us a shout and we will add it to our master list.
All you have to do is screen shot the options below or bookmark this article in your browser to keep these deals in the vault. Now, go celebrate the fact that you no longer have to suffer from scrolling through at a friend’s snapchat, wishing you could be enjoying a new dish and saving money at the same time, too. — Travis McMillan
