While you might feel guilty about dining out, a growing number of restaurants are opening their doors on Thanksgiving Day to accommodate families. Not only does this list get longer every year, but the hours restaurants stay open on this holiday continue to grow as well. Additionally, this year we’ve added a category of grocery stores/restaurants that are joining in on the festivities by selling Thanksgiving To-Go meals, so make sure to check that out at the bottom! Happy Turkey Day!
