Looking for Fort Worth food deals during TCU football season? Be sure to wear purple.
It’s the holiday season in Fort Worth, and I am not referring to pumpkin spice season.
Go Purple Fridays are like weekly holidays every fall.
On Fridays, we get free Chick-fil-A. Or a free Pearl Snap kolache. Or — this is definitely worth it — free Rogers Roundhouse funnel cake.
You don’t even have to be a TCU Horned Frogs football fan.
All you have to do is wear Frogs purple the day before a football game.
Every Friday from Sept. 3 to Nov. 26, just show a server your Frogs purple and get discounted dine-in food at local restaurants, or free appetizers or desserts.
If you’re going for the best deal, it’s at Chicken Salad Chick.
At either the location at 501 Carroll St. or 6124 Camp Bowie Blvd., just wear purple and your sandwiches or salads are buy-one-get-one-free.
The Los Vaqueros and Buffalo Bros restaurants both offer a 10% discount to diners wearing purple on Fridays, and at all their locations. (The Friday lunch special at Buffalo Bros is fried haddock.)
If you’re just here for the free Chick-fil-A, that’s only for customers wearing purple Fridays at the 3200 Hulen St. location near Central Market. You have to make a $5 minimum purchase, and it’s for in-person orders only, no smartphone orders or deliveries.
Another bargain: 25% off any sandwich at the Meat Board specialty butcher and sandwich shop and burger grill, 6314 Camp Bowie Blvd.
Here are some other restaurant deals:
▪ Free cheese fries with cheese and peppers at all Tommy’s Hamburger Grill & Patio, 2455 Forest Park Blvd., 5228 Camp Bowie Blvd. or 1736 Mall Circle.
