thanksgiving near the naval station
We will be spending Thanksgiving Day around Naval Station Great Lakes. We will be visiting my son and a shipmate at RTC just for the day. Does anyone know of any restaurants in the area which might be open that day, preferrably for a traditional style Thanksgiving Dinner?

Here is a link to the Nite'n'Gale, a moderately priced restaurant in Highwood, straight south of you on Sheridan Rd, call to see if they are open.

Thanks again for the information. I called to check on making a reservation, but I thought the $50 per plate was a bit more than what I was hoping for, but I am sure it is quite good. Everything looked wonderful.

Sorry, Did not know your price point. OpenTable shows the following restaurants as open on T-Giving throughout the Chicago Area. http://www.opentable.com/promo.aspx?p.... Maggianos Old Orchard in Skokie is a more moderately priced restaurant that is not that far away.

I've probably been to that Maggiano's 20 times over the years. I think it's a little unfair to tag them with "bad service." It's no better or worse than any other large-volume place and soemtimes there are off nights. I've actually been twice for Thanksgiving and I can't recall a single service-related complaint. Having said all that, I'm not a big fan of Maggiano's (nearly every visit I've made was due to some other person's choosing it) but for a one-off Thanksgiving meal you can do much, much worse.

re: raidermanz
If you are still looking for a more moderately priced option for Thanksgiving dinner, here is a link to a more recent OpenTable listing of restaurants throughout the Chicago area that will be open. http://www.opentable.com/promo.aspx?m...
Of those listed, the following are closest to the Naval Station:
Buca di Bepo and Tuscany in Wheeling (also Tramonto's in Wheeling but they list the adult price as $39.95
)Flatlanders in Lincolnshire
Karma Asian in Mundelein (despite the name, it says they are serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner)
McCormick & Schmick's in Skokie (although no price is noted in the Skokie listing for M&S, the Rosemont listing says adults are $22.95, and I would think the same price would apply in Skokie)

You might call the Deerpath Inn in Lake Forest, http://www.dpihotel.com/Menus.html. I do not know if they are open on T-Giving but typically restaurants associated with hotels are more likely to be serving on Thanksgiving Day.
I also checked the annual column run in the Chicago Tribune as to restaurants serving Thanksgiving dinner but none are terribly close to the Naval Station. The closest would be Michaels in Winnetka. Also, Prairie Grass Cafe in Northbrook. But, if the Deerpath is open, it would be considerably closer.
