First off, Happy Thanksgiving! But if you're reading these words on Thursday, November 24th, 2022, you're probably more concerned with food than well wishes. While it's possible to find holiday cheer with ease for some, finding a restaurant that's open on Thanksgiving can be a bit more of a challenge

But don't worry, because plenty of your favorite spots are open as more and more people dine out or grab a snack on the big day.

Whether it's for a breakfast that holds you over until the big feast or for a meal you can actually enjoy after you faked it with your mom's dried-out turkey, here are 11 popular chain restaurants open on Thanksgiving Day 2022.

(Just note that hours and openings do vary sometimes based on location, so maybe call ahead before you jump in the car!)

Yes, America can still "run on Dunkin'" on Thanksgiving day! Almost every Dunkin' location is open for business on Thanksgiving, so go on in and grab a coffee and donut or try a new Wake-Up Wrap (that's a pancake wrapped around an egg and bacon). Or hey, there's a sandwich with turkey sausage, so that's Thanksgiving-appropriate, right?

The International House of Pancakes is open for business on America's day of Thanksgiving, so head on in for a stack of pancakes and some coffee. It's a pretty robust menu, so lunch and dinner work too.

Try the new French Toast sticks which are driving the chain's breakfast sales.
