11 Restaurant Chains That Are Open on Memorial Day
Before Memorial Day, most Americans are stocking up on burgers, hotdogs, and beer as they prepare to get together with family and friends on May 29. But let’s face it, shopping for groceries, planning meals, and then cooking for a crowd can be a major hassle when you’re already focused on hosting guests or just spending the holiday with loved ones.
With prices for barbecue staples like hotdogs and poultry still elevated from inflation, buying enough groceries to feed a big, hungry group can also be a pretty expensive undertaking. Thankfully, many of the most popular restaurant chains stay open on Memorial Day, so you have several food options to fall back on if cooking is the last thing you want to do.
Check out one of these 11 chains that are open for the holiday if you’d prefer to skip firing up the grill and just eat out instead. You can also grab something quick for breakfast or lunch before heading out to a party. Just remember, Memorial Day is still a holiday and certain locations could adjust hours at their own discretion, so you should directly contact their local restaurants for more details on any potential hours changes.
