What is what fast food is open on thanksgiving?

Many fast-food restaurants are closed or have altered hours on Thanksgiving Day. It's highly unlikely that most will have their normal hours. However, some chains may have some locations open, but this varies wildly by franchise and location. You should always check the specific restaurant's website or call ahead before heading out.

Generally, you're more likely to find limited options at:

  • Convenience stores: Places like 7-Eleven often stay open 24/7, although their food offerings might be limited to snacks and pre-packaged items.
  • Some larger chains with 24-hour locations: Even if they're not operating at full capacity, a few locations of chains like McDonald's, Burger King, or Subway might be open, but this is not guaranteed.

To find out definitively if a particular fast-food restaurant near you is open on Thanksgiving:

  1. Use their store locator: Most chains have a website or app with a store locator. This will often let you find the phone number for specific locations.
  2. Call the restaurant directly: This is the most reliable method.
  3. Check Google Maps/other map apps: These often show updated hours of operation.

Don't rely on assumptions. Thanksgiving Day operating hours are often unusual, and it's important to confirm directly with the individual locations.
