Restaurants often don’t release their Thanksgiving reservations or menu until late October! 2023 Thanksgiving Dinners Orange CountyĪll updated for Thanksgiving 2023! I go through and check all the links multiple times each week – and I will say that some reservations are filling up already! I revise my list in late October / early November every year and many times leading up to the holiday (November 7th, 2023 with almost all restaurants updated!) – so check back often. Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 23rd in 2023. I hope my list helps you make plans and answers your “What restaurants are open for takeout on Thanksgiving?” and “What’s open on Thanksgiving?” questions this year. I just wanted a simple LIST split into Thanksgiving Buffets, Thanksgiving Dinner, and even a Thanksgiving To Go or Thanksgiving Takeout options for taking the meal home.įor 2023, my list has a few buffets and some dine in options with takeout. Unfortunately, it takes some digging to find out which restaurants offer a Thanksgiving BUFFET (not just a dinner) and then it’s challenging to navigate popular review sites which make you jump through hoops with photo slideshows or clicking to their site instead of another. It’s kind of an annual hobby to figure out good places to go.
Our family got in the habit of seeking out restaurant buffet options for Thanksgiving dinner back when we used to celebrate with my in-laws.
