If you’re not in the mood to cook this Thanksgiving, you may find slim pickings or have to travel further than usual. Many major restaurant chains will be closed, including Chipotle and Chick-fil-A, but participating Starbucks, McDonald’s and Dunkin’ locations will be open, along with Denny’s and Waffle House. Holiday hours will vary more than years past as restaurants across the country continue to deal with labor shortages and supply chain issues, which has led some chains to reclose dining rooms and cut hours, according to research from InMarket, a consumer intelligence company. Multiple restaurants are offering Thanksgiving meal takeout specials but deadlines are approaching and some have already passed. This year’s Thanksgiving meal also is expected to cost more whether you cook it yourself or get it from a restaurant. Michael Swanson, chief agricultural economist at Wells Fargo, told USA TODAY that restaurant inflation is at a “multi-decade high.”If you are cooking, grocery stores also have limited hours Thursday but several are closed, including Walmart and Target. (See the roundup of which stores are open Thursday and who is closed here.)The following restaurant chains have select locations open in some capacity. Some dining rooms may be closed, and many may be offering a special menu or takeout and delivery. Check with your closest location before heading out as not all locations are open.
