I don't think this is spamming, as it's free stuff, and I really have no affiliation with these places. It's just something I found on Yahoo this morning... Enjoy!
So there is one or two of these places near me (sort of, and some of them I have never even heard of..). I'll have to remember that come July... Not sure at all what the closest Black Angus is to me... I know, this seems cheap, but for whatever reason free stuff always catches my attention:confused2:

The Best Birthday Freebies

Getting Free Goodies
Birthday goodies from restaurants and retailers abound, even in a tough economy, and they're not just for kids. There's plenty of free food, free stuff and great deals for adults and kids on their special days, though, like senior discounts at restaurants, you may have to ask for them wherever you go.
We're not saying you should pretend it's your birthday to take advantage of these deals, but if it really is your birthday, here are some ways to celebrate for free or on the cheap.
Black Angus
Unless you're a vegetarian or allergic to beef, you can't go wrong with a free steak dinner at Black Angus for your birthday. The deal is good for the two weeks before and the two weeks after your birthday. It is for dine-in orders only, and you'll have to show identification. You can use the deal at any U.S. Black Angus or Cattle Company Steakhouse location.
Age limit: 16 or older.
Denny's
Kids enrolled in the Denny's Birthday Club will receive a birthday card entitling them to a free kids meal and sundae at a participating Denny's restaurant as long as they're with an adult paying for a regular-priced adult entrée.
Age limit: Kids 10 years and under accompanied by an adult.
Red Robin
Red Robin patrons who join the restaurant chain's eClub get a free gift for signing up as well as a free birthday burger (in addition to regular e-mail newsletters). When you register, you'll have to fill out a survey asking what you order most often at the restaurant, when you go there, who you tend to go with and how often you go.
Age limit: None
Firehouse Subs
By adding yourself to the Firehouse Subs mailing list and selecting your favorite sandwich on the restaurant's menu, you can get a certificate for a free sub during your birth month.
Age limit: None
Coldstone
What's a birthday without ice cream? Thankfully, ice cream chain Coldstone understands the importance of this frozen treat on birthdays, so you can get "the sweetest birthday possible," according to the company.
You'll have to create an account on the company's Web site and sign up to receive other promotions.
Age limit: None
Baskin Robbins
Baskin Robbins is another chain of ice cream shops with a birthday club. It entitles members to a free 2.5-ounce scoop of ice cream and discount on a birthday cake, that is, if you're in charge of buying your own cake.

Age limit: None
