If you’re not visiting family while traveling over the holidays, cooking can be a hassle. Thankfully, there are several restaurant chains that continue to operate on Thanksgiving Day. If you find yourself out of state with Sundance Vacations this turkey day, here are five restaurants that you can visit to get that cranberry sauce fix!
Cracker Barrel
Rustic homey, and delicious—Cracker Barrel is a classic option for Thanksgiving dinner! Thanksgiving to-go-meals will be available in two sizes, feast and family dinner. The Heat n’ Serve feast serves from 8-10 people and the family dinner 4-6 people. Each meal starts at $14 per person. The meal comes with all of your favorite holiday side dishes—turkey n’ dressing with gravy, cranberry relish, turkey gravy, country green beans, macaroni n’ cheese, sweet potato casserole, and dinner rolls! Need a little sweetness after your supper? Pie options include pumpkin pie, cinnamon roll pie, chocolate pecan pie, pecan pie, and apple pecan streusel pie.
Golden Corral
What’s better than a buffet? A Thanksgiving buffet! There are four main dish choices from Golden Corral: whole roasted or smoked turkey, holiday spiced ham, fried chicken (12 or 24 piece), or a prime rib dinner. As for sides, you get mashed potatoes and gravy, choice of homestyle sides, pumpkin or pecan pie, and famous yeast rolls! A full turkey dinner is priced at $89.99, a full ham dinner is priced at $99.99, and a full prime rib dinner is priced at $129.99. Be sure to scoop up these deals on Thanksgiving Day! You can sign up to be a part of the Golden Corral email club to receive a free drink, birthday treats, and exclusive coupons!
Applebee’s
Applebee’s is one of the more unique options on our list because instead of advertising just your typical Thanksgiving meal, it’s offering its usual appetizers, entrees, and salads, as well as its Thanksgiving dinner plate. The Thanksgiving dinner plate features fresh sliced turkey breast, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, broccoli, and a slice of homestyle pie! Be sure to double check that your local Applebee’s is open for takeout! We also want to mention that throughout October, Applebee’s is offering “spooky sips” for $6! Try Dracula’s Juice and Tipsy Zombie for a limited during the Halloween season!
Shoney’s
Shoney’s knows how to serve up a delicious Southern-style meal! If you want a feast for Thanksgiving, this is the restaurant to visit. This holiday season, Shoney’s is offering crispy chicken, slow-roasted, hand-carved-in-house breast of turkey, butterfly shrimp, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans with red peppers, collard greens, dinner rolls, squash casserole, macaroni & cheese, corn, potato soup, cranberry sauce, peach cobbler, brown gravy, sweet potato casserole, and cabbage beef soup, and a free slice of pumpkin pie! If you join Shoney’s mailing list, you have the chance to be entered to win a $25 gift card, as well!
TGI Fridays
TGI Fridays is a chain restaurant with a relaxed, casual environment. If you’re looking for a simple takeout experience, TGI Fridays is the place to go. Though the 2022 official menu lineup hasn’t been released yet, previous TGI Fridays Thanksgiving menus offered maple bacon and brie potato skins, turkey melt sliders, stuffing loaded mac’n’cheese, mini pumpkin pie, and a gingerbread espresso martini—all as specials! When you sign up for Fridays Rewards, you’ll receive a free appetizer. You earn 1 point for every $1 spent, and rewards start rolling in when you reach 30 points, which could definitely add to your Thanksgiving Day feast!
