Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving 2026 at Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach

Thanksgiving 2026 at the Beaches runs on brunch. Casa Marina in Jacksonville Beach serves a Thanksgiving Day brunch, Buddha Thai Bistro runs its annual vegan brunch buffet, and Eleven South offers a two-course prix fixe dinner starting at $45. All three are confirmed for 2026, and reservations are the safe move.

Most Beaches families have already done a 5K and a street party by noon. Brunch is the third event.

Updated November 2026. "Confirmed for 2026" means the restaurant or a local tourism office has announced this year's plans. Where 2026 hours haven't been posted yet, we list last year's hours as a guide. Call before you go.

Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving morning in Neptune and Atlantic Beach belongs to Tony's Turkey Trot and Petesgiving at Pete's Bar. Sit-down Thanksgiving meals are thin on that side of the line, and Fish Camp North Beach was closed last Thanksgiving with no 2026 plans posted. One local spot is confirmed for take-out:

• Joseph's Pizza, Atlantic Beach, with a second location on North Main Street. Confirmed open on Thanksgiving 2026 for take-out only.

Petesgiving winds down in the early afternoon. Eleven South seated from late afternoon last year. The timing works out.
