Thanksgiving Day is such a special time to come together with friends and family to celebrate and give thanks as we kick off the start of the holiday season. Sometimes you just don’t feel like putting in so much time and effort into preparing a grand feast for your loved ones, and you’d rather leave it to the professionals. If you are looking for an alternative to spending the day in the kitchen cooking, so you may sit and relax, then consider making reservations for your party at one of the many restaurants that will be open on Thanksgiving Day ready to serve you with delicious food and drinks. If you happen to know of an open restaurant that is not on our list, please let Indy With Kids know so that we can add it. From our family to yours, we wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
