Looking for a hassle-free way to celebrate Thanksgiving this year? Many restaurants offer special Thanksgiving menus, so you can enjoy a delicious meal without the stress of cooking and cleaning. From traditional turkey dinners to creative alternatives, there are plenty of options for every taste. So gather your loved ones and make a reservation at one of the many restaurants offering Thanksgiving dining options. A word to the wise before you head out to any of these restaurants- be sure to give them a call to double-check their holiday hours, as many are reservation only and may already be sold out. Many of those that will be open will be offering limited options, not their entire menu. We’ll keep adding to this post as we hear from more restaurants!
