What Restaurants Are Open on Labor Day 2020: Specials & Freebies

Labor Day Restaurants Open Specials

Getty Bonefish Grill is one of many restaurants offering specials to celebrate Labor Day.

Labor Day will be celebrated around the United States on Monday, September 7, 2020, with many businesses choosing to close their doors for the day. If you’re looking to eat out at a restaurant or order takeout, there will still be options available for you, and some chains are even offering deals and freebies on the holiday.

The federal holiday looks different than it has in past years due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic and social distance regulations tightened in states where the number of cases has seen a recent spike.

It’s important to note that, depending on where you live, restaurants that would normally accommodate dine-in customers may only have takeout or outdoor seating available to prevent the spread of the virus. Be sure to call ahead to each location to be sure they’re offering the deals.

Read on for some of the best takeout, dine-in, and fast food specials for Labor Day 2020:
