  1. Timber Wood Fire Bistro and Railcar Modern American Grill are offering Thanksgiving to go. $18/person and pick up Wednesday afternoon. All you need to do is reheat!

  2. I just confirmed that Jerico’s will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. This may be a restaurant you want to take off the list.

  3. It does not appear that Flemings is serving on Thanksgiving Day, since there are no reservations available that day.
