Whether you're looking for a quick bite to eat, a sit-down experience, or a quick caffeinated pick-me-up, there will be plenty of food options to choose from this Labor Day.

Most of your favorite chains will be open this year. However, some locations may have reduced hours, so it's a good idea to check your local location to confirm store hours before heading there.

The holiday is "an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers," says the U.S. Department of Labor.

The holiday traces its roots back to the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to American's strength, prosperity and well-being, according to the department.

Here are when restaurants and fast food chains will be open on Sept. 4, 2023.
