Restaurant suggestions for Thanksgiving? (Winston-Salem, Salem: restaurants, price, Whole Foods)

[emelvee]

We typically prepare a meal at home, but it's just going to be three of us this year, so we thought we'd dine out.

What suggestions do people have? We're closest to Winston-Salem, but will consider anywhere in the Triad. Probably looking for a place that has traditional turkey, etc...but also offers other options.

Thanks!

Here's a link to the list of Thanksgiving restaurants from the Winston-Salem Journal last week (scroll to the bottom of the page). It says an updated list will run in Wednesday's paper so you can check back then.

Thanks! I saw a list of restaurants last year from Googling...missed this year's list.

Does anyone have personal experience with any of these, specifically for Thanksgiving meals? We're not planning on IHOP or K&W. lol

I'd recommend the Grandover, if you can still get a reservation.

I'll remember this if we decide to dine out in the future...we decided to order a prepared meal from Whole Foods.
Might have been less expensive to eat out though. lol

You probably made the best choice. We're usually at the grandmother's for Thanksgiving, but one year we visited relatives out of state and had a large group. We went to Cracker Barrel, and it was really good. We had called ahead, so fortunately we didn't have to wait in the crowd. We got there just a little past 11:00 am and there was already a long line that got much longer while we were there. The food was actually very good, but if we had to wait like everyone else I probably wouldn't have been as impressed. Anyway, the moral is...if you don't have reservations, you need to go very early or very late.

You can always fall back on China Town Specials.
