Whether you have family coming in, you’re having a little “Friendsgiving,” or you’re looking to spend time with the people in your community, here’s a little information on who is ready to let y’all gobble til you wobble this year for Thanksgiving:
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.
