Where to Eat on Thanksgiving 2024: Open Restaurants and Closures Revealed

Thanksgiving Day will see a mix of restaurant openings and closures. While many popular chains like Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, and Texas Roadhouse will remain shut, others such as Capital One Grille and Waffle House will stay open. Meanwhile, retailers like JCPenney and Target will also be closed.

Several upscale dining options like Capital One Grille, Eddie V's, and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse will serve customers on Thanksgiving. Casual eateries like IHOP, Maggiano's Little Italy, and Waffle House will also remain open. However, Olive Garden, despite a viral misinformation about all its 900 locations closing, will indeed be shut for 24 hours. The chain will reopen the day after Thanksgiving, allowing employees time with their families.

Thanksgiving Day dining options will vary, with high-end and casual restaurants open, but many mid-range chains closed. Retailers will mostly be shut, with some exceptions.
