Not all of us will be home for Thanksgiving this year, or comfortably seated with friends and family for a Thanksgiving day feast… some of us will be on the road.
Highway travelers looking for a holiday meal can find it a little difficult. You’re tired and hungry so you jump of an Interstate exit only to discover that every restaurant nearby is closed.
Ah but don’t fret. You may be interested to know that an increasing number of chain restaurants are choosing to remain open during the holidays, or at least opening for limited hours to meet customer demand. Not only that but many chains offering special Thanksgiving menus and deals.
Here’s out list of most chain restaurants that are open, or closed for business on Thanksgiving Day 2024. A word to the wise is in order… Local holiday hours may vary by location so call ahead and confirm opening and closing hours. (This listing will be updated as additional information becomes available.)
(Restaurants located at Interstate Service Plazas and Welcome Centers may be required to stay open.)
