Dine Out for a Thanksgiving Feast

Thanksgiving means different things to different people. A chance to reconnect with family and friends. An opportunity to help those less fortunate than oneself. A day of football. And a chance to indulge in tantalizing treats that appear just for this day – succulent carved meats, secret recipes of stuffing, puddings, salads, desserts. Arghhh! Can the holiday just come already? I’m dying for some marshmallow sweet potatoes and Grandma’s green bean casserole. Just when you’ve thought you can’t eat another bite, Oh look! A great big slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream!

The following Clearwater restaurants will have either buffets bursting with a bountiful bonanza or special holiday menus filled with popular Turkey Day requisites. You’re sure to find your own mouth-watering favorites among them.
