We get it. Memorial Day weekend is a long three days. You run around from cookout to cookout (and maybe even host your own), carting kids in cars, flipping burgers on grills, and chowing down on lots and lots of corn on the cob and mac salad. By Memorial Day—which this year falls on Monday, May 27—there's a good chance you'll be totally exhausted and cooked out. The last thing you might want to do is turn on your own oven, stove, or grill and whip up an entirely new meal.

Good news, you don't have to: You can fire up your UberEats app and order something from the comfort of your home. Or make a quick stop at a drive-thru. Or maybe even have a nice evening out at a nearby restaurant. But it's Memorial Day—what spots will be open?

Don't worry. Before you frantically start calling up every chain in town, take a look at this list. We've done the hard work for you and compiled all the chain restaurants and fast food spots that will be open on Monday, May 27.

Keep in mind that some of these business are franchises, so hours are decided by the owner and could vary from location to location. And it's still a holiday, so some spots might open a bit later or close up early. Once you've decided, give them a quick call to confirm. That said, chances are you'll probably be good at all of these places!
