Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude, and good food. For many Dallas families, the holiday can also mean hours of cooking, cleanup, and the pressure to deliver a perfect meal. This year, a growing number of local restaurants are stepping in to help, offering curated Thanksgiving menus that blend tradition with their own culinary flair.
Eataly Dallas – Italian‑Inspired Thanksgiving
At Eataly Dallas, diners can choose between two prix‑fixe options. The $58 menu includes butternut squash ravioli, mushroom ragù tagliatelle, a classic roasted turkey with holiday sides, red‑wine‑braised beef, and an optional apple‑almond tart. For a more upscale experience, the $78 menu adds roasted kabocha squash, house‑made pastas, seafood, and premium Wagyu selections. Eataly also offers catering with a whole roasted turkey, mushroom lasagna, porchetta stuffing, seasonal vegetables, brioche rolls, and tiramisu, suitable for 4–8 guests with 48‑hour notice.
The Ritz‑Carlton Dallas – Thanksgiving Mercato
On November 26, the Ritz‑Carlton’s Dining Room will host a Thanksgiving Mercato experience.

Centurion American is hosting its ninth annual “Thanksgiving for Your Service” buffet at The Statler Ballroom, honoring veterans, active‑duty military, and first responders.

Sheraton Dallas – Feast‑to‑Go
Sheraton Dallas offers a chef‑crafted Thanksgiving Feast To Go starting at $145 for six to eight guests. The package includes a whole smoked turkey, seasonal sides, rolls, and two holiday pies. Optional add‑ons such as a 10‑pound spiral ham ($75) or additional whole turkey ($75) are available. Pickup times can be selected for Thanksgiving Day, with purchases due by November 19.
SER Steak + Spirits – Skyline Dining
Located on the 27th floor of the Hilton Anatole, SER Steak + Spirits provides a Thanksgiving à la carte menu with dishes like Diestel turkey breast with bone‑marrow dressing ($48) and heirloom spice carrot cake ($16). Diners can also enjoy the restaurant’s regular menu while taking in sweeping Dallas skyline views.
Whether you prefer a sit‑down feast, a convenient take‑out, or a special tribute to those who serve, Dallas’s dining scene offers a range of options that let families focus on togetherness rather than the kitchen. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, as many venues have limited seating and require pre‑payment.
