Vacationing in Savannah over Thanksgiving? Don’t feel like fighting the super market crowd, then slaving over a hot stove all day? Whatever your circumstance, you can find many alternatives for your traditional Thanksgiving meal right here in downtown Savannah. Most options offer the usual holiday fare and are reasonably priced. It is up to you, as a Thanksgiving connoisseur, to choose which restaurant or hotel’s culinary style your family will enjoy.


The Olde Pink House is one of Savannah’s most recognized restaurants not only for its rosy hue, but also for its delicious food. The Olde Pink House is offering a revised three course menu for lunch and dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Guests may choose from holiday classics like Turkey, or opt for the nontraditional Flounder if they choose. That is the beauty of choosing to eat out over Thanksgiving; everyone can be happy. The Olde Pink House is offering their special Thanksgiving menu for lunch (12:00-3:00 pm) for $38.95 per person, and dinner for $42.95 per person. For reservations, 912-232-4286.
If your family is looking for something like “momma used to make” then I would suggest The Mulberry Inn’s famous Thanksgiving lunch. The lunch is served buffet style, which offers maximum consumption for those family members who take their Thanksgiving eating “seriously.” It doesn’t hurt that the Mulberry’s food is “seriously” good. This year they are offering not only traditional turkey and dressing, but also oven roasted prime rib and seafood augratin. Are you hungry yet? The Mulberry Inn is offering two Thanksgiving lunch seatings at 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm. Reservations are required, 912-238-1200, and the cost is $29.95 per person.  Preview the menu at http://scribd.com/doc/40633703.

If you are looking for a little more “up-scale” dinning experience then you might want to take your family to the Westin Savannah Harbor. This hotel boasts spectacular views of the Savannah River from a different perspective, literally. While you watch the boats pass by, you can sip a glass of champagne (which is included in the price of the meal.) The Westin is offering Thanksgiving lunch from 11:00 am-3:00 pm, at $54.95 for adults and $18.95 for children under 18. For reservations, 912-201-2000.

Whether you are a tourist, local, food slob, food snob, time saver, or just plain cannot cook it doesn’t matter on Thanksgiving. What matters is that you had a day filled with good friends, loving family, and great food! Wherever you may choose to eat.
