Does UberEats or GrubHub deliver on Thanksgiving?

Do food delivery services like UberEats, GrubHub, Postmates and DoorDash deliver on Thanksgiving Day?

Let’s be real here, not everyone has somewhere to go on Thanksgiving. Some of us have to work, some live too far to travel to family and will be eating alone and others just might not take part in the Thanksgiving feast traditions, and that’s perfectly fine.

For those people, they may depend on food delivery services on Thursday and lucky for them, they will be open and delivering. You’ll be in luck if you have UberEats, GrubHub, Postmates and DoorDash in your area.

Here’s the catch though. You may be paying a higher fee on some platforms since it will be a peak delivery time. You’ll also have less options as the drivers will only be able to deliver to the places that are open for business (duh!) and because of the holiday there will probably be less drivers available, thus the delivery time could be longer than normal.

Depending on where you live though, you may not even notice a difference.

Some of the places that will probably still be delivering and open are McDonald’s and other fast-food chains. keep in mind that places like Chipotle and Chick-fil-A will NOT be open on Thanksgiving.

And remember, your drivers are working on a holiday so tip them well and be patient if your orders take longer than normal. They are independent contractors so they don’t get holiday pay or perks, keep that in mind as well.

Happy holidays!
