HomeTown Buffet Thanksgiving HomeTown Buffet restaurants are generally open for Thanksgiving 2018.
Some people prefer not to cook at home for Thanksgiving Day 2018. For many of those people, the idea of a home-cooking-style buffet appeals to them, and in locations with a HomeTown Buffet franchise, that can be an appealing choice for some. That has a lot of people wondering: Is HomeTown Buffet open or closed on Thanksgiving Day? What are the hours?
Old Country Buffet actually has three different restaurant chains that fall under its company name: Old Country Buffet, HomeTown Buffet, and Ryan’s. They’re located at different spots around the country.
A check of select stores around the country shows that many HomeTown Buffet, Ryan’s restaurants, and Old Country Buffet restaurants are open on Thanksgiving Day 2018. However, the restaurant hours appear to vary by location and restaurant at times, so it’s a good idea to call ahead before going. You can find information about how to do so later in this article. There are a large number of HomeTown Buffet restaurants in California, especially.

Hours May Vary at HomeTown Buffet Locations
In California, HomeTown Buffets contacted by Heavy revealed that they are open for Thanksgiving Day; they are open on Thanksgiving Day 2018. For example, the HomeTown Buffet in Bakersfield, California is open from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. However, the Home TownBuffet in Lakewood, California is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. HomeTown Buffet was also selling Thanksgiving Meal packs, but that only ran through November 20, 2018.
Calls to Old Country Buffet restaurants in Greenfield, Wisconsin and in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania showed that both of those restaurants are open on Thanksgiving Day 2018. They are open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For example, in Harrisburg, a Thanksgiving Day Meal at Old Country Buffet costs the following: $13.79 for an adult; $12.79 for a senior; $5.29 for children. Drinks are extra.
The Ryan’s restaurant in Conroe, Texas is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to a call made to the restaurant. Thus, it appears that restaurants that fall under the Old Country Buffet corporate moniker may have slightly different start times.
