Atlanta Restaurants Open On Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is a top-tier holiday in our books. It’s time to feast and gather with family, but one thing we could do without is the mass of dirty dishes and cooking up a turkey all day just for it come out dry, as always. If you’d prefer to eat out this Turkey Day, make a reservation for Thanksgiving brunch, lunch or dinner! These Atlanta restaurants will give you all the food without any of the mess or stress. Get a table before the rest of the city beats you to it! (Reservations required!)
