Real Simple's Editorial Guidelines Updated on April 22, 2024 Close Photo: Karen Beard/Getty Images While the Fourth of July is a great holiday to celebrate with a backyard BBQ, some of us are traveling and others are compelled to declare their independence from the kitchen, at least for the day. Luckily, most restaurants, especially the large national chains, are open on the Fourth, which falls on a Thursday this year. We rounded up a list of chain restaurants expected to be open and operating on the Fourth of July. For most, we listed normal hours, but they may vary by location. Just to be sure, it's always best to call the restaurant before you go.
