14 Restaurants That Will Be Open on Easter This Year

Hungry for Italian? Chinese? For 2022, there are plenty of restaurants open on Easter.

Everybody has different Easter traditions, ranging from egg hunts galore to celebrating with the Easter Bilby rather than the Easter Bunny. You might prefer to celebrate with a smaller dinner at home or a Sunday brunch with close family and friends, or even a delicious Easter spread delivered or picked up from your favorite spots.

Thankfully, there are plenty of restaurants open on Easter. Many require pre-ordering, though, so hop to it!

Applebee’s

Celebrate Easter with giant $5 cocktails? Don’t mind if we do. Applebee’s locations will be open on Easter with normal Sunday hours.

Boston Market

Boston Market offers multiple Easter dining options, from fully cooked meals with sides to complete heat-and-serve meals with prime rib.

Cheesecake Factory

All locations will be open on Easter Sunday for brunch and dinner. Meals can be delivered or picked up, while limited dine-in reservations are available at some locations.

Cracker Barrel

Pick up an Easter Heat n’ Serve Family Dinner featuring a spiral-sliced sugar-cured ham and sides that feed up to 10 or a Prime Rib Heat n’ Serve Family Dinner for smaller gatherings. Don’t forget that Cracker Barrel offers delivery.

Denny’s

Sundays are for pancakes, and Easter isn’t any different! Denny’s is open 24/7, so you can hop in whenever.

Fogo de Chao

You might not think that Fogo’s endless tableside carved meats would translate to your dinner table, but the restaurant is offering an Easter brunch and dinner all day, plus a ready-to-eat Easter Day To-Go package for delivery or pickup.

Honey Baked Ham Co.

Honey Baked Ham is a sure bet on Easter. The restaurant is offering meals featuring ham or turkey, along with sides and dessert for delivery or curbside pickup.

Maggiano’s Little Italy

If mini meatballs and lasagna are more your speed, pick up a Carryout Meal to feed the whole family. Both ready-to-eat and heat-and-serve options are available.

Olive Garden

Indulge in Italian classics with Family-Style Meals to go. You can even order bottles of wine for $15 where to-go drinks are allowed. We’re not sure how endless breadsticks work at home, but we’re willing to find out.

P.F. Chang’s

Everyone’s favorite Chinese chain offers plenty of options for dine-in service or wok-fired feasts at home, which are family-sized meals for delivery or takeout.

Red Lobster

If ham isn’t for you, switch things up with seafood family meal deals that you can get via takeout, curbside pickup or delivery.

Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse

It’s not quite ham, but a steak is still a great option for Easter. While the restaurant’s at-home Easter option doesn’t seem to be available this year, you can still drop in for Easter Sunday at your local steakhouse.

Texas Roadhouse

Rattlesnake Bites for Easter? Sure! All locations will be open on Easter for takeout.

Waffle House

If waffles are more up your alley than pancakes, then hit up your local Waffle House—open 24 hours, 365 days a year.
