For Easter 2026, many breakfast and brunch spots are open, but hours vary by location, so the safest move is to call ahead or check the restaurant’s holiday hours online before you go. National chains like Bob Evans are explicitly open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Easter, and other outlets such as IHOP and similar brunch-focused chains are commonly open with reduced or local-specific hours.

Good bets for Easter breakfast

  • Bob Evans — open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Easter Sunday.
  • IHOP — commonly open on Easter, though hours can vary by location.
  • Applebee’s — open on Easter Sunday, with possible reduced hours.
  • Brunch chains and local cafés — many independent brunch spots open for Easter weekend and post holiday hours online.

What to check first

  • Whether the location is open Easter Sunday or only Easter brunch/lunch.
  • Whether they have a special Easter menu or reservation-only seating.
  • Whether hours are reduced on holidays , which is common even when a restaurant is open.
