Cracker Barrel is open regular hours on Thanksgiving Day with a “traditional meal starting at 11 a.m.” per their official website. They recommend using their Online Wait List for shorter wait times. You can also pre-order their “Heat n’ Serve” pickup meal option.

If you are not cooking this Thanksgiving holiday or your meal plans didn't go as you had hoped, there are some Metro area restaurants open to serve.

Whether you need a last-minute essential or hope to accomplish some early Black Friday shopping, know before you go that these retailers and grocers are closed.
