You can't always head home to mom's to get your Thanksgiving feast, but luckily there are plenty of restaurant options for Thanksgiving in Austin. Many restaurants offer a special menu just for Thanksgiving, whether it be brunch, or dinner, or both. A lot of the menus are all-inclusive and offer more food than you could ever stuff in your belly. We're talking turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, ham, stuffing, gravy, pumpkin pie, all of the good stuff.
Some of these restaurants also offer take home meals that will bring the entire spread right to your family's Thanksgiving table. This is the 2012 version of restaurants open on Thanksgiving in Austin, so every restaurant listed here is current. To ensure the smoothest and most pleasant Turkey Day for you and your loved ones, we suggest calling ahead regardless of your plans for dining in or carrying out.
If you know of any additional restaurants that will be open on
Thanksgiving in Austin, please feel free to let us know and we will add
it to the list. Happy Thanksgiving!
Another thing to be thankful for - the Do512 Thanksgiving Spotify playlist.

Featured Review from CultureMap Austin
February 21, 2012Threadgill’s World Headquarters has been on the Austin scene for decades. Janis Joplin got her start singing weeknights at the flagship North Lamar location. These days, the Beergarden on Riverside is home to a nice balance of local acts and smaller touring shows.

Featured Review from CultureMap Austin
February 09, 2012Kerbey queso is highly addictive, and it’s available 24 hours a day, so go ahead and add it to your list of perfect 2 am snacks. The signature Kerbey features fresh avocado topped with creamy white cheese, and the Cowboy adds black beans for another veggie option — or try the Queso con Bisonte (bison), topped with plenty of pico. If you’re a hardcore queso fanatic, ask for some on top of your migas (or burger? We won’t tell).
