Those enjoying a three-day weekend may want to leave the cooking to someone else.

Here are a few spots offering some discounts or deals, including those provided by savings and cashback destination RetailMeNot.

On Monday, Eureka! (10520 W. Stockdale Highway) is offering all day hoppy hour specials including $5.50 for some of the best local craft beers, the Eureka! American cheeseburger with signature fries ($12), mac 'n' cheese balls ($7), truffle cheese fries ($7), the Wild Child cocktail ($8.50) and other libation specials.

The chain also recently rolled out new menu items — including Dorito-crusted shishito pepper, pastrami quesadilla, roasted veggie tacos and smoky Campfire cocktail — that we will have more about in an upcoming column.

Rubio's Coastal Grill (9200 Rosedale Highway, Suite 200) is offering a buy one entree, get one free deal for veterans and military members with ID. The offer excludes mix 'n' match plates and kids meals.

Sizzler (900 Real Road and 2650 Mount Vernon Ave.) will be open under normal hours for Memorial Day, offering some specials in addition to its traditional menu.

Deals include the limited-edition steak and unlimited shrimp entree (starting at $21.49), which includes a hand-cut, signature Sizzler 6 oz. tri-tip steak alongside an unlimited portion of crispy, golden-fried shrimp.

Starting Memorial Day and running through June 2, Arby's (2610 Buck Owens Blvd., 8290 Rosedale Highway and 1400 Taft Highway) is offering its rewards members 50% off any burger. Customers must order online or via the Arby's app to redeem the deal.

Burger time

Tuesday is International Burger Day, which may not seem of much importance — unless you're looking to save some dough on burgers.

The new Farmer Boys (35104 Merle Haggard Drive) opened recently and is already doing a bustling business (as Californian employees can view being conveniently located nearby).

Pricing, like that at many fast-food chains, can be a bit steep but that's where International Burger Day comes in.

On Tuesday, enjoy a $4 Big Cheese (limit two) from 2 p.m. until closing.

Carl's Jr. (numerous locations) is offering a buy one burger, get another for $1 via the chain's app.

The offer is good on favorites including the Double Famous Star, Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger, Double Guacamole Bacon Burger and Double El Diablo.

The offer is redeemable in the Carl’s Jr. app, order.carlsjr.com, or in restaurants by registered My Rewards users. There is a limit of one offer per registered user and it cannot be used in a combo or with any other offer or discount. This deal is also not available for redemption with third party vendors or delivery partners.
