A lot of people go all out for Mother's Day—and she deserves it! It's a great way to remind mom that she is loved and appreciated. A wonderful way to do that is by taking her to a restaurant open on her special day. Sure, you can whip up a Mother's Day dinner at home or breakfast in bed, but not everyone wants to spend time cooking (or cleaning). That's why heading to a restaurant on Mother's Day is the next best thing.
There are heaps of restaurants open on Mother's Day in 2024, relieving you and your cooking skills (or lack thereof) of added stress. Plus, after a day of Mother's Day activities and showering mom with Mother's Day gifts, you'll probably be too tired to enter the kitchen, anyway! So, our list of restaurants open on Mother's Day is handier than ever.
Just remember: Even if you see a restaurant listed here, you'll still want to call ahead to make sure that's the case in your area (some of these chains are independently owned). You can also check in with a favorite local restaurant in your own area to see if they've got any great Mother's Day restaurant deals or fun menus for the holiday—you might be surprised at what you find!
