Easter, a Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, lands this Sunday, marking the end of the 40-day Lent season, a time of prayer, fasting and giving.

Restaurants that already close on Sundays, such as Chick-Fil-A, are closed on Easter. But for those looking to celebrate the end of Lent with some fast food, there are plenty of other quick service and dine-in restaurants that stay open.

Here’s a list of some drive-thru restaurants, coffee shops, quick service and sit-down restaurants that were either open last year or confirmed to USA TODAY that they will be open for Easter 2025.

Hours may vary by location, so it’s always a good idea to call and double-check whether the restaurant you’d like to eat at is open and/or doesn’t have modified hours.

When is Easter 2025?

Easter this year lands on Sunday, April 20.
