Don’t want to cook? Many national restaurant chains are open on Thanksgiving Day 2025, ready to serve you and your family or friends a traditional turkey dinner or regular menu items.
Reservations are recommended, even required for groups of six or more.
Be sure to tip generously, since the folks cooking and serving you are giving up their own holiday so you don’t have to do the shopping or cooking or wash the dishes.
Thanks to RestaurantNews.com for putting together this extensive annual list, as it did for us last year.
Some restaurants are opening as early as 11am for Thanksgiving Dinner, and some are offering their Thanksgiving Dinner specials through Sunday, Nov. 30.
Make those reservations now!
