Kelseys specials by day follow a simple pattern: as of November 7, 2026, Kelseys runs one dine-in special on each night from Monday to Thursday (burgers from $12, Kids Eat Free, half-price wine bottles, half-price wings) and no day-only special from Friday to Sunday. Tuesday is the family night, Wednesday and Thursday take 50% off for adults, and 6 more offers run every day, including a happy hour that runs twice a day.

Below: the full week in one table, the catch on each night, what the app, email and CAA offers are worth, the math for a solo diner, a couple and a family, and which of the 48 Kelseys locations we track run the deals.

Kelseys specials by day: what runs Monday to Sunday?

All 10 live Kelseys deals in our data were last verified on November 7, 2026. Four are tied to one day of the week:

DaySpecialWhat you payCatch
Monday1978 Burger$12; any Burly Burger $2 more; 16 oz Budweiser $6Dine-in, sides extra
TuesdayKids Eat FreeFree kids meal for a $2 BGC Canada donationOne per adult entrée of $18.99 or more, kids 12 and under, dine-in

FridayNo day-only specialn/aEvery-day deals below
SaturdayNo day-only specialn/aEvery-day deals below
SundayNo day-only specialn/aEvery-day deals below

Three dine-in offers run every day, weekends included:

  • $5 Caesars until 3 PM: Caesars, mimosas and Baileys coffee are $5 from opening until 3 PM.
  • Lunch Duos from $13.99: from opening until 3 PM, with select drinks at $5, not at Kelseys Niagara Falls. Kelseys' lunch menu page lists lunch trios from $14.99 instead, so the starting price can vary by restaurant.
  • Happy hour: 3 to 5 PM and again from 8 PM to close, with drinks from $5 and appetizers from $10.

The other three every-day offers are the sign-up and membership discounts covered below. Since the CAA discount cannot be combined with other offers, Friday to Sunday, when there is no day-only special to give up, is when it fits best.

Kids eat free at Kelseys: which day and what is the catch?

Tuesday. Each adult entrée of $18.99 or more earns one free kids meal for a child 12 and under, in exchange for a $2 donation to BGC Canada. The offer is dine-in only at participating restaurants, it is not valid for groups of 8 or more kids, and it cannot be combined with other offers.

The one-to-one ratio is the part that changes the bill:

  • 2 adults, 2 kids: two adult entrées of $18.99 or more cover both kids meals, and you pay two $2 donations.
  • 1 adult, 2 kids: one adult entrée covers one kids meal, so the second child's meal is charged at the regular price.
  • Stacking: because the deal cannot be combined with other offers, the CAA discount and the free spinach dip coupon cannot go on the same Tuesday bill.

Half-price wings Thursday or Monday burgers: which saves more?

Thursday gives the bigger percentage off; Monday gives the more predictable bill.

On Thursday, Kelseys takes 50% off its 10 and 15 piece wings and boneless bites for dine-in guests who buy any regularly priced drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The discount covers one wing order per person, excludes Kelseys Niagara Falls and is not valid with any other offer, the CAA discount included. Regular wing prices are not in our data, so the saving is half of your branch's menu price for the size you order, and the required drink is an added cost at full price.

On Monday, the Kelseys Monday burger deal prices the 1978 Burger at $12 all day. Any Burly Burger, such as the Mushroom Melter or Canadian Whisky Burger, is $2 more, and a 16 oz Budweiser is $6. Sides and taxes are extra, it is dine-in only, and no drink purchase is required.

The choice comes down to the drink. A diner who wants a fixed price and no drink is better served by Monday. A diner who orders a drink anyway, or who wants wings, gets the larger discount on Thursday. In Toronto, where both Kelseys locations we track run the Thursday deal, our ranking of the cheapest wing nights in Toronto puts it against every other wing deal in the city by day and price.

When is Kelseys happy hour and what drinks are $5?

Kelseys happy hour runs every day, weekends included, from 3 to 5 PM and again from 8 PM to close. Select domestic draught, wines and 1 oz mixed drinks start at $5, premium draught starts at $6 and imported draught at $7, and appetizers such as potato skins, crispy chicken bites and half-pan nachos start at $10. It is dine-in only, alcohol needs the legal drinking age, and Kelseys notes that location hours may vary.

Add the daytime $5 Caesars and Kelseys has a drink deal from opening to 5 PM and again from 8 PM to close:

TimeDealPrice
Open to 3 PMCaesars, mimosas, Baileys coffee; select drinks with Lunch Duos$5
3 to 5 PMHappy hour drinks and appetizersDrinks from $5, apps from $10
5 to 8 PMNo daily drink dealn/a
8 PM to closeHappy hour drinks and appetizersDrinks from $5, apps from $10

The 5 to 8 PM gap has two weekly exceptions: Monday's $6 Budweiser and Wednesday's half-price wine bottles, which both run all day.

Kelseys app, email sign-up and CAA deals: are they worth it?

Of the 10 live Kelseys deals, 1 needs the app, 1 needs an email sign-up and 1 needs a CAA card. The other 7 need no sign-up or membership:

OfferWhat you getWhat it needsCatch
First app order$5 offKelseys app, code KELSEYS5OFFFirst app order only, pickup or delivery, terms shown in the app
Email sign-upFree Four Cheese Spinach DipKelseys email sign-upWith an entrée, dine-in, one coupon per table, not with other offers
CAA members10% off the pre-tax billCAA cardExcludes taxes, gratuities, alcohol and gift cards; not with half-price wings or other offers

The app is a one-time $5 on your first pickup or delivery order. The Kelseys app page (opens in a new tab) also lists app-only bundles and a coupon wallet for later offers. None of the four day specials can be ordered through it: all four are dine-in only.

The email sign-up costs nothing but needs planning: the coupon arrives 24 to 48 hours after you sign up, so join at least 2 days before the visit. It cannot be combined with other offers, so it suits a Friday to Sunday meal with a regular-priced entrée rather than a special night.

The CAA discount is the only Kelseys deal that works for dine-in, pickup and delivery. Show your card to the server, or enter your membership number when ordering on the Kelseys website or app (delivery orders need it at payment). Online orders exclude taxes and gift cards. It is limited to one offer per member per visit and one card per cheque. See the Kelseys CAA discount for the full terms.

Which Kelseys deal saves the most?

We compare on what Kelseys publishes: fixed prices where it lists them, percentages where it does not. Regular menu prices are not in our data, so we do not quote savings against the menu.

CAA memberFriday to SundayCAA 10%10% off food and non-alcoholic drinks, before tax

Solo diner. The lowest starting price on food is a happy-hour appetizer from $10 (3 to 5 PM or 8 PM to close). The cheapest main with a fixed price is Monday's $12 1978 Burger. Thursday's half-price wings can come in above or below that, depending on your branch's wing price, and they need a drink.

Couple. Monday prices two burgers at $12 each. Wednesday halves the price of one bottle, so the saving grows with the bottle you choose. Thursday halves one wing order each, and each order comes with a drink purchase.

Family. Tuesday is the only night that takes whole items off a family bill, and a CAA family has to choose between it and the 10%, because neither combines with other offers. Tuesday saves the price of the kids meals minus the donations; CAA saves 10% of the whole pre-tax bill, alcohol excluded. For 2 adults and 2 kids whose only other items are two entrées at the $18.99 minimum, Tuesday comes out ahead once the two kids meals together cost more than $8.66. Each extra dollar of food or soft drinks on the bill raises that break-even by about 11 cents, so check your branch's kids menu prices against it.
