Brigs offers customers age 65 and older a 7% discount on any dine-in adult entrée, seven days a week. The discount also applies to Senior Selections, weekly specials, monthly specials and weekday breakfast specials.

Additional early-breakfast savings: Brigs offers specially priced weekday breakfasts Monday through Friday from 7:00–11:00 AM, excluding listed major holidays. Seniors 65 and older can also receive the 7% senior discount on these meals. View the official weekday specials.
