If you’re family isn’t around and you don’t know how to cook, or just don’t want to, there are a number of restaurants that are either open for a Thanksgiving meal or provide some take-home options. Here are just a few of our favorites.
Meddlesome Moth. The Design District gastropub, pictured, will be open 10 a.m.–3 p.m. for a Thanksgiving brunch from chef Richard Graff. It’s a traditional plate, with turkey, chestnut stuffing, roasted Brussels sprouts and cranberry sauce; plus pumpkin break, gravlax on a bagel with crème fraiche; frittata; steak frites; and lump crab salad.
Oak. The Moth’s neighbor, Oak, will also offer a selection on Thursday from 11 a.m.–2 p.m., including an entrée of turkey, ham or prime rib, and family-style selections of appetizers, sides and desserts. $75/adult.
The Second Floor. Chef Scott Gottlich, who just opened his latest restaurant in Oak Lawn, is doing a full service Thanksgiving dinner from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. at his Galleria eatery. Offering more than 10 pies, a carving station, entrees from pumpkin pasta to braised short ribs and even sushi. $68/adult. Reservations required.
Y.O. Steakhouse. For the first time ever, chef Tony Street will offer a full Thanksgiving Day, three-course dinner from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. The same menu will also be offered Wednesday and Thursday. Appetizers include venison tamale, quail or lobster bisque; entrées are traditional turkey or filet mignon or venison chops; and dessert.
Greenville Avenue Pizza Co. For something more casual, GAPCo. has a turkey calzone available now through Dec. 20. (It’s not open Thursday, so come any other time.)
