November is here, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner (November 28).  While many think of Thanksgiving as a day to dine at home, we understand that not everyone has that option.  It could be for a variety of reasons, but regardless, we’re here to help with a list of restaurants open on Thanksgiving in the CSRA. With some help from Good Housekeeping and Webstaurantstore, we found which restaurants will be open!

Holidays can be stressful, especially if you are hosting.  From grocery shopping, preparing all the food, and getting the house ready, it can be overwhelming! So if you want to pass on being stressed out this year, you have some options with restaurants open on Thanksgiving!

Some of these restaurants are offering traditional Thanksgiving-type dinners, and you also have the option of takeout. If you’re looking to order a prepared meal ahead, you can check out these options too!

If you know of any additions to add to the list, please email us!

*Please note: Even if a restaurant is on this list, you may want to check ahead.  Not all locations may be participating.*
