For most people, Thanksgiving is centered around the table.  Family and friends unite to celebrate all they are thankful for, over a traditional home-cooked meal.  A turkey with all the trimmings. Stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and don’t forget the pumpkin pie! Recipes passed down from generations fill the table, but in a day and age where, due to a multitude of reasons, traditions are becoming less traditional, more modern and ever-changing; cooking a traditional Thanksgiving meal may not be an option for some.

Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving Day

The truth is, while many look forward to indulging in this feast, others dread preparing it. Whether you lack culinary skills, have too busy of a schedule, have a complex/nontraditional family dynamic, or you just plain want a break from the hustle and bustle of kitchen life at Thanksgiving time — I have compiled a list of 15 local restaurants that are not only open on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 22, 2018), but they offer traditional Thanksgiving meal options to satisfy your palate – without the stress of planning a large spread, or having to slave away in the kitchen before and after the meal!

  1. Please take Wheatfields off of your “open on Thanksgiving” list. Our restaurant will not be open for dining. Year after year people publish that we are open for dining without checking their facts and we have customers come in and get upset with us. Please remove us from the list. We are not going to be open for dining this year or any other year for that matter. Please and thank you.

    • Our writer apologizes. She researched and called places, and this must have been a misunderstanding with her records. Again, she apologizes and I’m so sorry as well. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. –Tessa
