Holiday Lists
These Dallas restaurants are open on Thanksgiving Day 2025
Pumpkin pie is a Thanksgiving staple.
Somehow, November is here, which means it's time to start thinking about the biggest food holiday of the year: Thanksgiving. What began in 1621 as a shared feast between colonists and American native Indians has sprawled in true American fashion into an annual exercise in excess and communal gluttony.
For those who don't have the bandwidth to cook their own, many restaurants in town host varying kinds of Thanksgiving-themed feasts: from a special holiday brunch to a buffet to a sit-down option at dinner. (Some restaurants also offer packages to go but this list includes only those that are open and serving on Thanksgiving Day.)
