Thanksgiving lunch inquiry (Philadelphia, Chester, Drexel Hill: hotels, casinos, restaurants)

[chessimprov]

My family is coming to visit me on Thanksgiving day. However, they don't want to cook. They want to attend a place that is not too dressy, but still different enough than what they could get in D.C. What are some places open for lunch on Thanksgiving day that I could do? I'm thinking White Dog might be a possibility. Anywhere in DE county I could consider would be nice too, especially near Marple, Springfield, or Drexel Hill. Thank you.

A bit of a warning, the White Dog has been sold and is under new ownership.

How about the Valley Green Inn in Fairmount Park's Wissahickon Gorge?

Or The City Tavern is definitely unique to Philadelphia (though quite expensive) The City Tavern Restaurant And Online Store, Philadelphia Pennsylvania

Also Supper on South Street is a nice, casual place that does a good job of sourcing local ingredients Supper

Hotels wit food service often have a nice reasonably priced option and are masters at large tables.
I have seen some that will carve at your table.
The most reasonable option would be a buffet ..

If you want something really different that will cater to all and provide entertainment ...
Harrah's Chester - Dining

Thank you for all these great suggestions that I could not think about with the time and knowledge I have!

Brittinghams is a casual place with great food. Suggest reserving a table early.
