Celebrate Valentine's Day Your Way With These Fast Food Deals

Valentine's Day is almost exclusively thought of as a holiday for couples. While it's true that couples tend to be the most enthusiastic about the holiday, that doesn't mean that other people should be left out in the proverbial cold. No matter your romantic or relationship status, there's a wide variety of amazing Valentine's deals and offers available in honor of the holiday, and many beloved dining establishments are taking part in the festivities. 

White Castle, Cinnabon, Moe's Southwest Grill, Panera, and many other restaurants are making sure that people have plenty of delicious options on the holiday, whether they're seeking a quick meal or something sweet to eat. Along with freebies, some restaurants are also offering discounts in the form of gift cards, which means you can continue to enjoy the deals beyond Valentine's Day. Here are a few particularly delicious offers and what they entail so that you can eat your heart out on this most romantic holiday.

White Castle might seem like an unlikely location for a romantic dinner, but that isn't stopping the chain from holding its own Valentine's Day celebration. As it has for many years, the fast-food establishment is providing diners with a table-service option on February 14, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Along with themed decor, White Castle will also offer the "Love Clutch" Collection, which consists of fries, 10 Cheesy Sliders, and 20 Chicken Rings.
