If you are not in the mood to cook this Easter 2022, you’re not alone! Personally, I enjoy going out to eat or preparing some delicious HelloFresh in the evening, but pulling out ingredients and figuring out what I want to make myself? Hard pass. This is especially true on a holiday like today. That said, fast food restaurants are the best option! Lucky for us, there are plenty of fast food restaurants open today to provide you with a tasty meal. But not all our favorite locations are open.

The pandemic days appear to be behind us when it comes to rules and safety precautions, so that won’t hurt the hours of operation. This means that we can all count on a lot more fast food restaurants being open this year than the past two years. Still, many do celebrate Easter and offer shorter hours or don’t open at all (like Chick-fil-A).

Whether you are joining some friends and family for an Easter meal, hosting, or just enjoying the day at home, here’s a quick list of what’s available.

Fast food restaurants open on Easter 2022

  • On the Border
  • Chili’s
  • Olive Garden
  • Denny’s
  • IHOP
  • McDonald’s
  • Starbucks
  • Taco Bell
  • Jack in the Box
  • Sonic Drive-In
  • Burger King
  • Texas Roadhouse
  • Applebee’s
  • Domino’s (and most other pizza chains)
  • Red Lobster
  • Panera
  • Cheesecake Factory
  • Buffalo Wild Wings

As you can see from the list, all major fast food companies and restaurants are open today and ready to cook up your favorite combo meal. That is, with the exception of Chick-fil-A, which does not open on any Sunday, particularly today. Also, from what we could find, the hours of operation will not be changing (again, from our research). Easter is not as popular as Christmas or New Year’s, so the companies are sticking with the regular hours of operation. The only question is, what will you be having?
