If you’re not into the whole, making a three-course meal thing, we understand. It’s a lot. Thanksgiving Day cooking can be overwhelming and exhausting. Add that into the mix of the family we haven’t seen for a while, well, things can go south pretty quickly.
Instead, let a chef make your turkey day meal for you at one of these San Antonio restaurants hosting Thanksgiving this year. Plus, the pandemic ushered in a new trend for restaurants hosting Thanksgiving: curbside pickup! What was once unheard of for fine dining restaurants, now is commonplace. Many have taken this approach for Thanksgiving dinners as well. Fine dining in your pj’s? We’re here for it.
Check out our list of restaurants open for both in-person and curbside meals this holiday.
