Thanksgiving in Houston

My father in law died recently, mother in law will be here and I have to work till 1 on Thanksgiving day, so I am not wanting to cook. Any suggestions on restaurants that serve a good Thanksgiving day meal?
Thanks!

    1. Black-eyed Pea has their own thanksgiving menu for that day.

        1. B-4-u-eat has Thanksgiving menus, click on menus on their web site. There is a website called thanksgiving-menus.com but no posts are up yet.

              Thanks! Was wanting something a little nicer than Black eyed Pea. I looked at B4ueat. I will check that other website.

                  The website is Thangsgiving-restaurants.com.

                      I just ran across the Magnolia Bar and Grill dinner for twenty dollars. They do a pretty good Sunday brunch, cajun style. I may go here myself as I work retail and have bizarre Wednesday night, Friday morning hours and cooking is a pain.

                          i love them, i will check it out! Cleverly has a page up but so far only 3 restaurants.

                              texannie,

                              where did you see cleverly's page? I looked at the blog and couldn't find it.

                              If I wasn't obligated to a family gathering I would go to Charivari's for Thanksgiving. There are some traditional and not so much offerings on the menu, and it all sounds delicious. That chef is great.

                                  Go to Yahoo and punch in thanksgiving-restaurants Houston and it will take you right to it. I would post the link but I'm not good with these new fangled computer things, but I'm working on it, and I will figure it out.

                                      LOL
                                      here is Cleverly's list

                                      i will check out that restaurant. i mentioned to my husband today that i wasn't wanting to cook and he kind of flipped, but did offer to cook himself!

                                          Here is the menu for Charivari:

                            2. Texannie, where did you end up going? And how was it? BTW, I heard that Black eyed pea was packed! My daughter's father-in-law drove past one on the way to her house and he was shocked! I was too.

                                  Cleverley will also be doing a Christmas/holiday version of her Thanksgiving restaurant list -- watch for it.

                                  No surprise that BEP was busy for T-day -- they are kid-friendly, and their food is predictable, not highly spiced, and affordable. For those who can't or won't cook, its the perfect solution.

                                    1. re: Cheflambo

                                      I don't mean to sound tacky, but I have a personal issue with BEP, after eating there many times, and it getting increasingly worse with each visit. I even went as far as to send corporate a note about it, which I got a phone call from them to discuss the problem. Thing was they promised to send me a gift certificate and never did. This after a 20 minute discussion. Hmpf! The one on 290 is the one I will not go back to.
