Hip, hop, hurray! Easter, a Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, lands this Sunday, marking the end of the 40-day lenten season, a time of prayer, fasting and giving.
Restaurants that are typically closed Sundays, such as Chick-fil-A, are also closed on Easter. But for those looking to celebrate the end of Lent with fast food, there are plenty of other quick-service and dine-in restaurants that stay open.
Looking for a place to eat on Easter? Here’s a list of drive-thru restaurants, coffee shops, quick service and sit-down restaurants open for Easter 2026.
Note: Hours may vary by location, so it’s always best to call ahead and double-check whether the restaurant you’d like to eat at is open and/or doesn’t have modified hours.
