Thanksgiving is here, and the pressure to host the best Thanksgiving meal ever is on. But what if, this year, you want to skip the frenzy (and the dirty dishes!) and spend the day relaxing with your family? While we love a home-cooked meal, we know that sometimes the planning and grocery shopping and cooking can all be too much, and we find ourselves searching for restaurants open on Thanksgiving. If gathering the crew and heading out to a buffet sounds good to you, you'll first need to know the answer to one question.
Is Golden Corral open on Thanksgiving?
You're in luck! The buffet chain with hundreds of locations in more than 40 states will be open on Thanksgiving Day. Check the store locator for specific hours for the location near you, but most are open 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
You'll find all the holiday favorites on the buffet, including turkey, ham, and beef roast, plus all the sides, including mashed potatoes, corn pudding, and stuffing. And don't miss the full smorgasbord of desserts. The great thing about a buffet is that there is something for everyone, even the picky eaters in your family.
The restaurant also offers to-go meals if you want to host everyone at home. You can pick up a family-style feast with ham, turkey, or beef roast and all the sides, or you can get just the sides or just desserts (yes, please!). They also offer individual meals. But there is a catch: Orders for holiday feasts must be placed 72 hours before pickup, so it might be too late for your Thanksgiving event. Go ahead and plan now for your next get-together!
