Thanksgiving - eating out?

We'll have a small group for thanksgiving this year (7 or 8) and for a number of reasons it's looking like it's better to eat out rather than cook a big meal ourselves. Has anyone gone out on Thanksgiving around here? Are most places open? Please recommend some ideas for us! (we're in the Mason/West Chester area).

TIA!

Re: Thanksgiving - eating out?

  • I am not a great person for suggestions - however, if you watch Polly Campbell's blog on Cincinnati.com she typically will announce what is open and where to eat. I have included the link below.

  • One of my favorite Thanksgivings was the meal we had at Cracker Barrel... mainly because that particular year I needed the least. stressful. day. ever.

  • Thanks for all the suggestions! The Maggianos menu sounds fantastic, and I love their food anyway. I'm still hoping we get our acts together to cook (more fun to hang out at home all day), but it's good to know we have some options if we need to go out!
