Where to Eat Thanksgiving Dinner in The Woodlands: Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving Day 2026

THE WOODLANDS, TX – An estimated 88% of Americans include turkey as their main holiday dish, with the U.S. consuming roughly 46 million turkeys each Thanksgiving. Around 42% of people host their Thanksgiving gathering and cook the feast themselves, while half of all Americans celebrate the holiday directly at home, whether they’re cooking or sharing duties. Additionally, roughly 43% of us attend a Thanksgiving dinner hosted and cooked by a friend or family member elsewhere.

This leaves around 5 or 6 percent of Americans eating their Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant or club. If this is you, it’s a good idea to get your reservations early or risk eating whatever’s in your pantry because the restaurants are all booked; five percent of a population may not sound like much, but in The Woodlands that racks up to more than 6,000 people hitting the restaurants around the Township.

Fortunately, Woodlands Online has a comprehensive list of restaurants and eateries that will be open and serving Thanksgiving meals. Even two weeks out from the holiday, now is the time to make your plans (and your reservations). No need to give us thanks – just enjoy some family fun, fellowship, or feasting on Thanksgiving!
