Houston has lots of great restaurants that serve Thanksgiving dinner (with varying degrees of traditionalism), and our guide has you covered for a number of different scenarios—particularly the main one, i.e. forcing your family to eat in public so they can’t get into screaming fights about religion, politics, or whether or not you spoiled a show by mentioning a tiny detail from episode 8. Here’s a list of Houston restaurants serving Thanksgiving dinner.
THE SPOTS
The Montrose restaurant B&B Butchers will be serving a three-course pre-fixe menu this Thanksgiving. Start your meal off with a mixed green salad or butternut squash soup, then you can have roasted prime rib with yorkshire pudding or a more traditional roasted turkey with cornbread dressing. All plates come with sides like bacon and garlic chili, sweet yams topped with marshmallows, and corn souffle. Plus, complimentary apple cider and pumpkin cookies will be available to all guests.
Price: $90 for adults, $35 for children

The wild game-centric Heights steakhouse Rainbow Lodge is doing its part for Turkey Day and serving a three-course dinner from 11:00am-7:30pm. Enjoy a traditional turkey dinner with cornbread dressing and green beans, or take a walk on the wild side with a smoked duck gumbo or niglai antelope served over cheese grits. And if you anticipate feeling peckish after your dinner, you can take home “late night snack packs'' complete with turkey, dressing, and gravy for just $6.
