Thanksgiving is right around the corner. If you still haven’t made any meal plans, several restaurants in Nashville are open on Thanksgiving, serving everything from fancy feasts to Mexican buffets and southern classics.
For a family-style, southern Thanksgiving meal, Monell’s is your place. They’ve got skillet fried chicken, corn pudding, caramel pumpkin pie, and all the Thanksgiving favorites.
Enjoy Thanksgiving with a Mexican twist at this buffet, with enchiladas, quesadillas, and Oaxacan hot chocolate.
If you want a fancy Thanksgiving dinner, Stompin’ Grounds’ menu includes “refined holiday classics,” like millionaire deviled eggs, lobster, and bourbon pecan pie. Stompin’ Grounds is located downtown at the JW Marriott.
Head to 1 Hotel, also downtown, for a harvest brunch and dinner at 1 Kitchen, which features many vegan and gluten-free options, like heirloom pumpkin grits and cranberry and roasted beet chutney.
Pastis in Wedgewood-Houston is offering a French-style Thanksgiving meal that includes boeuf bourguignon, duck confit, steak tartare, and even “Cheeseburger à l’Américaine” for less adventurous eaters.
Only a few reservations remain at Carne Mare in The Gulch, so snag them fast! Choose from fire-roasted heritage turkey, mozzarella sticks and caviar, and mushroom marsala on their multiple-course prix fixe menu.
Seven Tennessee State Park restaurants are open on Thanksgiving, serving local favorites like fried catfish and pumpkin pie at Fall Creek Falls and southern glazed ham at Cumberland Mountain.
