We’ve all probably been there AT LEAST once. You lose track of time, the oven stops working or the new recipe you decided to try was just gross. Never fear—these restaurants are open on Thanksgiving Day! And just for the record, I think everything should be closed because Thanksgiving in the best holiday of the year.
Also, probably call and make sure that the location you are going to is open. Most of them should be, but you never know.

Of course, there are probably more places open than just what’s on the list. Some local spots are probably open as well. As mentioned above, just make sure to call wherever you go before heading out. Additionally, it’s Cracker Barrel’s busiest day of the year and they have a special Thanksgiving meal. It includes “Turkey n’ Dressing with Gravy, a sampling of Sugar Cured Ham, Sweet Potato Casserole with pecans, Cranberry Relish, choice of country side, Buttermilk Biscuits or Corn Muffins, your choice of refillable beverage* and a tasty slice of Pumpkin Pie.”
