March Madness fail? Here’s how to turn it into FREE lettuce wraps

March Madness is more than a college basketball tradition—it’s an emotional rollercoaster that fans ride every year.

From buzzer-beaters to bracket heartbreaks, few escape the chaos unscathed.

But if your tournament predictions didn’t pan out, there’s a delicious consolation waiting just around the corner.



From March 20 through April 7, P.F. Chang’s is offering a free order of their iconic Chicken or Veggie Lettuce Wraps with the purchase of any entrée.

All you need to do? Show up with your busted bracket—either printed or a screenshot—to claim your consolation prize.

"Tournament season brings a mix of emotions for fans, and we understand how tough it can be when your bracket gets busted," said Sonika Patel, Chief Marketing Officer at P.F. Chang’s. "While we can't undo the losses, we can offer something to help soften the blow.”

These Lettuce Wraps aren’t just a side dish—they’re a signature staple that’s been delighting diners since 1993.

With millions of orders served each year, they’ve become one of the restaurant’s most beloved offerings.

If it’s been a while since you last dined at P.F. Chang’s, there’s even more to cheer for.

The restaurant recently launched Asian Fried Chicken for the first time in its history.

Guests can now enjoy Korean Fried Chicken—available bone-in or boneless—or dig into crispy, savory Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken.

"As we unveil our new fried chicken menu, we're thrilled to honor this timeless South Korean tradition and share a sense of celebration with our guests," said Candice Barnett, Vice President at P.F. Chang’s. “By embracing these traditions, we're not only expanding our culinary offerings but also deepening the experience of global culture and flavors that P.F. Chang's is known for."

Following successful openings at DCA, SLC, BLR, and SEA, the chain is expanding to Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) in 2025 and Guadalajara (GDL) in September 2024.

"Our guests expect the high-quality food, Pan-Asian variety and high-end service at our airports just as they do at any of our other locations, and that's what we deliver at every airport, in any country, breakfast, lunch and dinner," said Rafik Farouk, VP of Global Brand Development and Retail.

The expansion doesn’t stop there.

P.F. Chang’s recently opened a new location at Christiana Mall in Delaware, with plans for new restaurants in Laredo, Texas, and Santa Rosa, California, later this year.

"While we can't comment on behalf of P.F. Chang's, we are always supporting our tenants in their opening process," said a Santa Rosa Plaza rep. "We will keep the community informed on when they are ready to open their doors. Working with P.F. Chang's has been a delightful experience thus far, and we're excited about the opportunity for them to engage with our local community."
