A lot people go all out for Mother's Day! It's a great way to remind her that she is loved and appreciated, even if you celebrate her every day of the year. That's why taking mom out to a restaurant open on Mother's Day is such a sweet idea! 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)—which is why these restaurants open on Mother's Day are the next best thing.
There are heaps of restaurants open on Mother's Day in 2024, relieving the stress from you and your cooking skills (or lack thereof). 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).
