Not everyone is at home in their kitchen. That can make Thanksgiving an especially stressful holiday for some people.
Good news: That Norman Rockwell painting of a family Thanksgiving isn’t legally binding. It’s perfectly fine if you choose to eat out on Thanksgiving.
Retail stores may be closed, but restaurants do a booming business on turkey day. Plenty offer a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but if you want to just snarf down a deep-dish pizza or a burger, nobody has to know.
Here’s a look at some of the dining establishments that will be open on Thanksgiving. Hours may vary and some franchisees may keep their doors closed, so be sure to call and confirm they’re open before you head over.
Flemings Prime Steakhouse
Medieval Times (most castles open, call to confirm)
Popeye’s (varies by location)
Romano’s Macaroni Grill
Ruth’s Chris Steak House
Sizzler (varies by location)
