It’s Thanksgiving, but that doesn’t mean you have to be stuck at home with the turkey. We have the full list of stores and restaurants that will still be open for the holiday, on November 28!
Happy Thanksgiving! Did your dreams of a turkey feast turn out to be more of a nightmare? There’s still time to toss that charred brick of a bird and mushy green bean casserole that you swear you copied step by step from the Food Network. There are dozens, and we mean dozens, of restaurants open on Thanksgiving Day. From Marie Callender’s, where they’re serving a traditional Thanksgiving turkey meal, to STK Steakhouse, where you can pretend to be fancy, to Waffle House (because sometimes it’s 3:00am, and you and your siblings need Waffle House), you’re covered.
Or, say dinner went perfectly, the dishes are done, and everyone’s happily napping with tummies stuffed. You happen to be bored, though. Good news: many, if not most, of your favorite stores are open on Thanksgiving, so you can get a head start on the Black Friday crowds. Check out the full list of open stores and restaurants for Thanksgiving, and please remember to be kind to the employees and waiters you encounter on the holiday!
