A few more restaurants are offering special deals on Halloween. They join the ones I told you about last week that are selling doughnuts, burritos and more for cheap tomorrow.
Outback Steakhouse, which has Wichita restaurants at 2020 N. Rock Road and 233 S. Ridge Road, is offering a free kids meal to children 10 and under who accompany a paying adult. The offer is valid for curbside takeaway and dine-in.
Local Papa Murphy’s restaurants are serving Jack-o-Lantern-shaped pizzas, made with pepperoni and cheese, for $7 through Wednesday.
And Sonic Drive-Ins are selling corndogs half price all day on Halloween. They’ll be 50 cents.
Know of any others?
Here we are, stuffing ourselves last night at Golden Bay. To the left is the family of social media maven Karen in Delano. They like it, too.
Last night, I ate until it hurt at Golden Bay Japanese Restaurant, a hole-in-the-wall sushi place at 3811 W. 13th St. that people have been telling me for months to check out. I’m glad I did, because it was delicious. I’m writing a review of the restaurant for this Friday’s Go! section.
But while visiting, I learned of a sushi deal that was so good, it’d be irresponsible of me to wait another second to share it.
When patrons at Golden Bay buy one special sushi roll — a fancy chef’s creation such as the Rainbow roll — they get a more basic roll for free. The special rolls tend to cost $9 0r $10 apiece, but each time a customer orders one, they can choose from one of four more basic rolls, such a California roll or a delicious sweet potato roll, and get it free.
And the basic rolls at Golden Bay aren’t that basic. They’re pretty substantial, and one of the choices — a deep-fried roll called the “Western” — is pretty complicated. Last night, we ordered three special rolls but had six rolls of sushi, and all of them were great.
Many thanks to the several readers who urged me to check this place out. I’m looking forward to writing the review.
Thursday is Free Tea Day at Wichita’s McAlister’s Delis, which are at 7130 W. Maple and 306 N. Rock Road. Customers who visit will get a free 32-oz. glass of McAlister’s tea — either sweetened or unsweet. No purchase or coupon is required.
More than 300 restaurants in 22 states are expected to participate, and the chain etimates it’ll serve 225,000 glasses of free tea. Free Tea Day started in 2009 and has become an annual tradition for the chain.
I love McAlister’s unsweetened tea. (Despite living in Tennessee for two years, I never got used to the sweet stuff.) I’m not sure what makes it so good, but I think it has something to do with the giant, pretty plastic cups it comes in. They make you feel like the tea will never stop flowing.
You might most definitely will want to check out the specials that just launched on the Wichita Eagle’s Dealsaver today.
You’ll find three discount coupons that can be used after the first of the year at Melad Stephan’s Old Town restaurants — Sabor, Luca and Oeno.
Ole!
Just follow this link, and for $10 you can purchase a gift certificate good for $20 at each of the three restaurants.
They’d make good gifts — or just buy them for yourself. Who doesn’t want to look forward to a fish-taco filled New Year?
