If you're looking for a Thanksgiving food fix, your options will be limited.
National chains like Starbucks, McDonald's, Dunkin' and Applebee's will have many of their locations open Thursday, but others including Chipotle, Taco Bell and Chick-fil-A will be closed for the holiday.
Restaurant holiday hours will vary more than years past as businesses across the country deal with numerous challenges from labor shortages to supply chain issues, which has led some chains to reclose dining rooms and cut hours, according to research from InMarket, a consumer intelligence company.
With key ingredients such as meat, oil and eggs soaring in cost, 75% of restaurants have had to make menu changes including increasing prices, according to the National Restaurant Association.
