Consumers looking to grab some food while on the road this Labor Day are in luck, as they will have plenty of options to choose from.

While banks and post offices will be closed on the federal holiday, most national fast food chains and sit-down restaurants will be open, as will a majority of grocery stores.

Labor Day celebrates "the social and economic achievements of American workers" and is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday "to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America's strength, prosperity, and well-being," according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

The first Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City, and by 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday. President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday on June 28, 1894.

Here's what you need to know about restaurants and whether or not they'll be open on Labor Day.
