Best Thanksgiving Dinner (out) on a budget

[bigfella]

Hi all. Looking to see what is the best Thanksgiving dinner that my family and I can eat out but on a budget. The $42 pp buffets just won't work for us... There will be 4 adults and 2 kids under the age of five... Any suggestions?

Hey Bigfella

Hi
I do not know where you are located but the Broad Axe Tavern in Ambler PA has reservations available for Thanksgiving Day. The will have the regular menu available plus a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. Let us know where you eat!

I saw an ad for Charlie Brown's restaurant. All you can eat 3 course turkey dinner.
18.99 adult, 8.99 child.

Here is the link to the Open Table list of Thanksgiving dinner options:

There is a McCormick and Schmick in Center City and also one with ample parking in Cherry Hill, NJ - only about fifteen minutes from center city. They have a special price for kids.

Many neighborhood places have Thanksgiving specials, but I haven't been paying attention since we go to a family gathering. Are you in any special area?

Good luck!

BF, Where are you and how far will you travel? Regardless of price, you're looking into this awfully late, unless your local Olde Country Buffet will do.

My comments aren't an answer to your question, but amount to a different approach. Yesterday I was in my corner Green Market Deli and saw a complete Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings for 8-10 for $129. I know that Wegmans, probably Shoprite and other markets would have similar take out meals available at reasonable prices.

If I had maybe two other couple to share this kind of feast with us this Thanksgiving ( no other plans, but we are going away the day after) that's what I'd do; Thanksgiving take out + paper plates.

Bashful3,
I know there are myriad take-out packages from markets, but Bigfella said he wanted to go out.
Getting reservations at this date are next to impossible. Thanks to sylviag, there are some options. i didn't know. There may be greater options within his travel realm.

We would like to stay within an hour of Philly if possible... I know we're late, but our family just decided to come visit! :)
