ST. LOUIS – For some people, their Thanksgiving is surrounded by home-cooked dishes in the comfort of their home. But for others, they may opt for restaurants to take care of the cooking and cleaning.
A survey from National Restaurant Association gathered data and discovered two-thirds of adults had plans to get their Thanksgiving meal from a restaurant in 2023, with nearly half of respondents saying they intended to order takeout or delivery.
In that study, they learned that as the generations get younger, the less likely they are to create a homemade feast for the holiday.
With that being said, below is a list of chains and restaurants that customers can expect to be open on Thanksgiving for dining in.
