Go Cajun
The downtown staple serves a Thanksgiving brunch buffet that blends its Cajun classics with holiday specialties. It’s jambalaya, chicken gumbo and shrimp étouffée meets in-house fried turkey and all the fixings.
Plan Ahead: Brunch served 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Go Prix Fixe
Four courses. Five entree selections including prime rib, turkey and a vegetarian option. But the four words you really need to know: maple bourbon pecan pie.
Plan Ahead: Dinner 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Go Vegan
The vegan hot spot offers a safe haven during a traditionally meat-centric holiday. The “cruelty-free” Thanksgiving buffet features a seitan turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and other traditional sides and dessert.
Plan Ahead: Buffet begins at 5 p.m.
Go Take Out
Use your secret family turkey recipe, and Till’s Buy Your Own Bird special does the rest. The market will be stocked with farm- inspired, grab-and-go fixings, including cranberry apple relish, candied sweet potatoes and more.
Plan Ahead: Main restaurant open 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Go Family Feast
Phantom Canyon Brewing Company
The traditional package is built around rotisserie turkey breast, but, of course, there are Phantom suds thanks to seasonal beer gravy and sour beer cranberry spread. Plus, 20 percent of all sales will be donated to the Springs Rescue Mission.
Plan Ahead: Orders taken Nov. 13-21.
