Will you be able to eat fried shrimp and cheddar bay biscuits at Red Lobster on Thanksgiving Day this year instead of turkey?

Believe it or not, not everyone loves turkey with all the fixings for Thanksgiving Day. As odd as it may seem, a trip to Red Lobster for surf and turf and a couple baskets of cheddar bay biscuits is the dinner some folks would choose to eat instead.

And most years, that would be possible. Usually most restaurants stay open on Thanksgiving for people who maybe don’t want to cook or just don’t enjoy turkey. But as everyone is very well aware, 2020 is not like most years. Many restaurants are closing for the holiday due to COVID-19 concerns or just as a way to say thanks to employees who have gone above and beyond.

So is Red Lobster open on Thanksgiving?

More from Holiday

According to the Red Lobster website, all Red Lobster restaurants will be closed on Thanksgiving Day with the exception of their Times Square location in New York. That means no cheddar bay biscuits for you until Friday at the earliest (unless you snag a box of mix at the store and bake them yourself).

Really, who can blame them. The CDC has been pretty adamant that for all intents and purposes, if you want to be safe you should just stay home. But if you really want seafood, there’s nothing stopping you from getting some shrimp and a lobster and making a seafood feast of your very own. Or you could make your very own Cheddar Bay Biscuit stuffing thanks to this handy recipe.

Red Lobster will reopen on Friday, November 27 to take care of all your seafood desires. Believe me, one day without cheddar bay biscuits won’t kill you.
