May is already starting out to be a good month for dining and finding deals. Last month we mentioned The Palm $39.95 dinner which continues until the end of the month. Now they have company at all price points. Here are a few invites you may want to consider:

–The Capital Grille just introduced a new bar menu with such tasty temptations as mini tenderloin sandwiches and lollipop lamb chops. These items will pair well with the reduced priced bottles (a list of 30 for under $30) or from the expanded wine-by-the glass list.

–McCormick and Schmick’s understands happy hours and lets each individual location create a daily list of reduced priced specials and parallel beverage offerings.

–The Cheesecake Factory wants customers to get in on the action. With their new hamburger menu (called the Glamburger), they celebrate different regions of the country, but want to include your favorite recipe. You have until the end of the month to submit. Here’s your chance to be famous and secure a place of prominence for your secret ingredients!

–T.G.I Friday’s has hit a whole new price point: $12.99 for a starter, entree, and dessert. That’s an amount that makes you question whether you can prepare a full meal like that at home for that price!

Besides the increase in happy hour menus, a few other promotions seem to have universal appeal. Many restaurants have half-priced wine nights (mostly Mondays or Tuesdays), and kids eat free nights are commonplace at a growing list of restaurant price points. Again, not every restaurant will follow the Monday-Tuesday light night concept, but those traditionally are good nights to secure restaurant deals.

No matter the price point, someone’s dealing.
