Where to make reservations for your dine-in Thanksgiving dinner in Charlotte

Editor’s note: We will update this file as more area restaurants announce Thanksgiving Day menus, so check this space frequently.

Thanksgiving 2023 approaches, and figuring out the food is the most important task. One of the things we’re most thankful for this year is Charlotte area restaurants that will be open to serve us for the holiday.

Of course, you can always pre-order a Thanksgiving meal and reheat it to serve, as well. But if you prefer to let someone else handle the dishes and cleanup entirely, making reservations is where it’s at. (You can also check out Thanksgiving pre-order meal options.)

You’ll find options including prix fixe meals, buffet-style dining and a la carte options to ensure something for everyone on your guest list. But don’t wait — reservations for holiday lunches and dinners fill up fast.
