It's Thanksgiving, and that means millions of Americans across the country are putting their finishing touches on the big dinner. Turkeys are getting stuffed, potatoes are getting mashed, and notches are getting added to belts as we speak.
Just because it's traditional to gather 'round the old table with your family and chow down on a home-cooked meal doesn't mean that's the only way to go on Turkey Day. For those of us out there who don' t know how to cook, don't want to cook or who need a last-minute meal idea, don't panic. You will still eat on Thanksgiving.
Since Thanksgiving is a national holiday, you would think that no eating establishment would be open on this day. However, that's not the case. Whether you want a turkey or a taco, there are plenty of options for you to eat your Thanksgiving meal out. Hours and promotions may vary by location, but here are some of the best spots to enjoy your Turkey Day meal around the country.
