Get Free Fries, Ice Cream Friday In Columbia

COLUMBIA, MD — While some think Friday the 13th is bad luck, it's far from it if you're a fan of free food. This week, Friday happens to be National French Fry Day, which means one thing: Free fries or deals on fries at participating restaurant chains.

Here's a list of chains offering up the deep-fried treat for a sweet deal in Columbia:

IHOP now has unlimited fries with any burger combo ($6.99 and up) for a limited time only, valid for dine-in only (not valid for online or IHOP'N Go orders). IHOP is at 8825 Centre Park Drive in Columbia.

McDonald's is offering a free medium order of fries with any purchase (minimum $1) on the McDonald's app. The deal is good any Friday, not just Friday the 13th. McD app download and registration required.
