Me=OP asked:
"Any suggestions for a good Thanksgiving Dinner restaurant in Central/South Jersey that is kid-friendly?"

This is the best you could come up with? Telling me what to do?
and BTW: No, you are NOT me.

Enjoy your stress~free Turkey Day!

Just called the Buttonwood Manor. Their menu isn't up on the website yet. Prices range from $20-$34 pp & $12 for kids. It's way early for reservation too. But thanks for the suggestion.

holy cow..you weren't kidding. Just spoke with Molly Pitcher Inn. Not taking reservations yet. They sell out in 1 hr. $49.95 pp and $29.95 per kid. I heard their menu & it sounds fantastic. Thanks for the suggestion Cleve'

Moore's Tavern would be much less, and if I remember right probably closer to you. I think it was like $20p/p and it even included desert.

I hear ya' on not toiling over a meal that's over within 35 minutes at the most. McCaffrey's in West Windsor and Princeton sells a quality meal, but it's still at your home. Mastoris? Can't go wrong there!

A great way to do it up is at Ruth Chris Steakhouse at Weehawkin [near jersey city, last exit in nj enroute to lincoln tunnel]. Fabulous.
Doing it one better would be to stay the night next door at the Sheraton Suites on the Hudson, then go on the waterferry across to NYC for the rockerfeller rockettes christmas show. free busses on the manhatten side. Or go wherever you want in the city. Come back, and wave goodbye to the relatives Friday eve and have the whole weekend to yourselves.

[quote=VeradoDan;11073166]We've never eaten out for Thanksgiving, but the Bayberry in Ship Bottom has been our Easter spot for many years. It's very classy, traditional, and the food is very good. If they're open (long shot) it would be a nice choice.

I'm really surprised any place is open on Thanksgiving, to be honest. Who would want to wait tables for a few dollars on such a day? It's actually kinda depressing when you think about it.[/quote]

Actually, if you had no one to spend it with I think it would be MORE depressing to sit home alone eating fast food or worse yet cooking for one. If I didn't have anyone to spend time with I'd rather be at work making money. I'm pretty sure who ever does work is making good money, I'd hope people aren't going out to dinner on Thanksgiving and being scrooges with their tips!

I think restaurant Thanksgiving meals can be equally as enjoying as ones at home.
