Is Burger King Open On Thanksgiving 2021?

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, it's natural to want to ensure that all your holiday plans are in place. And if you're going to step out for a fast food meal, it's a good idea to double-check with a restaurant about their timings. After all, you don't want to get to your favorite eatery only to realize that it's not open, right? According to USA Today, several popular chains are going to be closed for the holidays. But don't worry — a few options are likely to still be available this year.

Dining at Burger King on Thanksgiving isn't an outlandish idea, by the way. In fact, this is a solution that has been used by many in the past. A Redditor wrote about stepping into a Burger King restaurant on Thanksgiving Day a few years ago and said, "I was running late to my family's meal, so I grabbed some breakfast at Burger King!" Hey, if it works, it works!

According to Delish, Burger King usually does continue catering to customers on holidays such as Thanksgiving. The hours are often tweaked, though, so it's advisable to confirm them in advance. As per USA Today, hours may vary depending on your location, so it's best to be safe and ask the staff members at the restaurant to ensure that you're in the know.

Restaurants such as Burger King have been especially useful for those who have limited options to celebrate the holidays. One Quora user wrote that when they were in college, going home was not an option for Thanksgiving because it was so far away, so they ended up eating a Whopper hamburger from Burger King. They enjoyed their meal and wrote, "It was actually very nice. I ate it in the common area of my dorm, completely alone. It was peaceful."
