In this post we’re going to give you a list of any restaurants open on Thanksgiving in or near Frederick, Md.
This is a great list for those families who have decided for one reason or another that having a Thanksgiving dinner at someone’s house just isn’t feasible.
Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving
There could be so many reasons why dinner at someone’s house isn’t the best choice.
Maybe the person who normally hosts isn’t physically able to prepare the meal.
Or someone’s house isn’t big enough for all the people who will be getting together for Thanksgiving dinner.
It could be that so many people are coming into town from out of the area that a restaurant is the most logical choice.
Whatever, the reason, we’re lucky to live in an area where there are some really good options for restaurants open on Thanksgiving.
We’ve been wanting to put together this list for years but time has always gotten away from us.
However, inevitably we get at least one reader question asking for recommendations for restaurants open on Thanksgiving.
So we decided, now is the time!
We will update this list each year so this can be your restaurants open for Thanksgiving resource!
Details about this List – Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving
Please note that we have included restaurants in Frederick County, as well as a couple of restaurants within driving distance of Frederick County.
Also, we’ve included Monocacy Crossing Restaurant because they offer an already prepared meal for 4 to 6 people to pick up the day before Thanksgiving.
However, they are not open on Thanksgiving Day.
We’ve ordered the list alphabetically and included a link to each restaurant’s website, as well as their address and phone number.
We’ve also included menu items, prices, and times (when available).
Call to Make Your Reservations AS Soon AS Possible
Please note the most important thing of all: Make a reservation, like yesterday!
These restaurants book up very fast!
As a matter of fact, as of this writing, some restaurants I’ve spoken to are already close to being booked up!
And one restaurant is already booked – Gladchuk Bros.
We decided to keep it on the list for next year.
Bottom line is, make a decision quickly and call now to make your reservations!

Thank you sooooo much for this list –
We are visiting the area on vacation and this list was crazy helpful in assisting me on where to go out for Thanksgiving. Just looking for a place that has good food and relaxed atmosphere – nothing particularly fancy. I appreciate you listing a wide variety of options.
