Traditional Fresh Turkey Dinner, now in August?

[Bruin2]

Where might we find a great traditional fresh turkey dinner, you know with mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing, now at the end of August. Preferable mid-wilshire to westside. Thanks.

The Main Course, on Pico just east and across the street from the Rancho Park golf course. They specialize in complete turkey dinners with the trimmings, and a lot of their business is pick-up from the neighboring Century City residences. Note the kudos from radio restaurant reviews from over two decades ago.

Thanks. I'll give them a try-next time. We got two dinners from one of the places mentioned above, and it was decidedly dry turkey. Stuffing, ok that can be dry or moist. But Turkey, that should always be moist. Next time, we'll give Main Course a try.

Where'd you get the dry turkey? (I see this is a year old post, so...)

Haven't tried Panns. Have tried a lot of others. Main Course is one weird place. The stuffing is always soggy. Okay though. Tried Marie Callendars which wasn't bad, but the gravy seemed to be more salty than flavorful (then again, I hanker turkey dinners to feed a hangover, and my hangovers are vicious - and affect my taste slightly (though I tend to like extra salt in this condition - but didn't want it with their gravy. Service was extra-friendly and attentive.) Cafe '50's is better than you'd think - kind of B grade coffee shop. But they only serve dinner and my hangover gets demanding around 2:00PM.

Canter's has it as well.

I would throw in Dupar's. Boston Market is along the same lines as KKR and when I need my Thanksgiving fix in July (or anytime) I go to Gelson's.

Ronnie's Diner has a a special.
Nate'n'Al's

Roll'n'Rye does an open-faced sandwich, as does Kate Mantilini.
I will not suggest Jerry's Deli. though they offer both plate and sandwich.

Koo Koo Roo in Santa Monica has a traditional handcarved turkey dinner with all the trimmings for $10.25.
Or if you make it over the hill to the Valley Brent's Deli has a very good Hot Roasted Turkey with Stuffing Served with Yams, Gravy and Coleslaw $15.95

I sometimes forget about KKR because they closed the two I used to go to. Thanks.

Panns has it on the menu. $11.95, w/ cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc. I also think that Nichols in Marina del Rey serves it.

[Bruin2]

Love Panns. Thanks.

I just had the ROASTED TURKEY dinner Smothered with Rich Brown Gravy Served with Homemade Cranberry Sauce & Cornbread Stuffing and two sides
(I had collard greens and mashed potaots) at Pann's and it was wonderful. Comfort food grand slam and under $12 bucks!

[happybaker]

Okay, that's AWESOME.

Generally you can also get it at Tam o'Shanter, in Los Feliz, but trust me, it's not under $12!

Clifton's Cafeteria?

A little closer to the westside, there's always Junior's.

While I appreciate the idea of Cliftons because we used to eat at the one in Century City, and loved it, the one downtown just doesn't do it for us, not to mention the clientele is a little strange some time. Now Juniors, hadn't thought of that. Thanks.

[happybaker]

Fab call ipsedixit - Juniors has it. With stuffing!
