Just a friendly reminder for all you San Antonians that Krystal will be giving away $5,000 in free gift cards tomorrow at its soon-to-open drive-in location on Pat Booker Rd.

The free gift cards will be good for various menu items and combo meals including Krystal favorites like Krystal Chiks®, Krystal Pups®, Krystal Sunrisers® and MilkQuakes®.

Gift cards for brand new menu items will also be distributed, giving San Antonians the chance to taste new items before anyone else in the state.  These will include Krystal-sized toasted sandwiches, hot and spicy chicken wings and mac ‘n cheese wedges.

Krystal Carhops will begin distributing the free gift cards at noon.

We’ve already heard rumors of folks camping out to ensure they get their hands on one of the 500 free gift cards, so we’d suggest getting in line early.

See you tomorrow!

For those of you lucky enough to call San Antonio home, not only do you have the first Krystal Drive-In location in the state of Texas opening in your backyard this month, but in celebration of its opening and the entire new line-up of menu items that will now be available, Krystal is going to give you its entire menu for free.

You read that correctly.

San Antonio Krystal Lovers are getting a new Krystal Drive-In, AND in advance of its opening, The Krystal Company is giving away $5,000 worth of Krystal gift cards for free menu items.

On top of this, the free gift cards will be good for not only the Krystal menu items you’ve come to love like Krystal Chiks®, Krystal Pups®, Krystal Sunrisers® and MilkQuakes®, but the gift cards will also be good for brand new menu items as well - giving San Antonians the chance to taste the new items before anyone else in the state.

These new items will include: Hot ‘N Country Wings®, chicken wings covered in a crispy, spicy breading; Krystal Smoothies®, a line up of all-natural, all-fruit smoothie beverages; Mac ‘N Cheese Wedges®, small wedges of fried mac ‘n cheese bites; RockSlides®, a line of ice cream-based beverages that include mix-ins such as M&Ms, Butterfinger and Snickers; and Krystal Toasted Sandwiches®, a variety of Krystal-sized sandwiches served on toasted bread including Philly Cheesesteak, Turkey Club, Grilled Cheese, BLT and Grilled Bacon and Cheese.

In addition to the gift cards for free menu items, some lucky Krystal Lovers will also receive Krystal cards in $10, $25 or $50 denominations, allowing you to spend the Krystal cash on any of your favorite items at any Krystal location.

So how do you get your hands on a Krystal gift card?  Simply stop by the new restaurant location (7953 Pat Booker Rd) this Saturday, July 19.  There you will be greeted by Krystal Carhops who will be handing out random Krystal gift cards beginning at noon.

The gift cards will be handed out on a first come, first serve basis - so we’d suggest getting there early.

See you Saturday.

For all you country music lovers (or Vegas lovers looking for a free trip) Krystal is teaming up with Dr. Pepper to give away six trips to Las Vegas for the 43rd annual Academy of Country Music Awards. As a part of the package, not only will you and a guest get to go to the ACMA’s, but you’ll also get to rub elbows with the stars at the Dr. Pepper Pre-Show Party (wonder if Axl is invited?), the New Artist Show and the ACMA post-show party.

All you have to do is visit this site before April 13 and enter the code on the bottom of your Krystal receipt.

For the first time in ACM history, fans will vote to decide who wins the coveted title of Entertainer of the Year. This year’s nominees include: Kenny Chesney (who has won the past three years), Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, George Strait and Keith Urban.
