Open for Thanksgiving
Do you find cooking Thanksgiving dinner to be a little overwhelming? Preparing Thanksgiving meal is no joke. Making the turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and various other side dishes can be hard and takes a lot of time. Some families choose to totally skip it and go out for dinner. There are lots of great restaurant options in Greenville to make your most delicious Thanksgiving dinner dreams come true.
Some restaurants have not announced their 2019 menu and prices yet. If they offered a Thanksgiving meal in 2018, we’ve left them on our list and noted that 2019 information is TBA. Check back as we’ll be updating this list throughout November.
We’ve also found a few places around town where you can purchase an already-cooked turkey or fresh, local one – scroll all the way down!
