Mother’s Day 2018: Which restaurants offer moms deals or freebies in Dayton?

Sunday is Mother’s Day.

Take a minute to panic  because you have just realized it is only hours away.

OK, now for a plan.

According to Restaurant.org, Mother’s Day is the most popular holiday for eating out, and a recent National Restaurant Association survey showed that 37 percent of those polled planned to do just that. Twenty-one percent said they would be picking up a dinner from a restaurant to take home to mom.

With restaurants offering all kinds of specials and in some cases freebies, it’s shaping up to be a good weekend for mom to stay out of the kitchen.
