10 Local Restaurants Open Thanksgiving Day

Jacksonville, NC and Surrounding Areas

By Lisa Hamilton November 26, 2019

Thanksgiving is almost here! Some people start planning our Thanksgiving feast weeks in advance, some people travel to spend Thanksgiving with Family or Friends, and some people just plan on taking it easy relaxing at home and order their Thanksgiving dinner or go out to eat. But everyone has unexpected things happen in their life that can throw things off track. 

I wanted to put a little list together for all of you guys just in case life throws you a curveball around Thanksgiving and you have to order some food fast. Hopefully, you won't need to look at this list last minute due to forgetting to defrost your turkey in time, your oven stops working, or your turkey just doesn't look right.
