For some of us there’s nothing more thrilling than the aroma of roasting turkey and warm pumpkin pies in our own kitchen on Thanksgiving Day. For some of us there’s nothing more thrilling than going out for dinner, so we can pile on ham and three kinds of potatoes as well as the turkey, and let someone else wash those dishes.

In the spirit of something for everyone, here is a listing of local restaurants received to date that offer Thanksgiving Day dinners with some traditional menu items. The attractions range from delectable sides like pumpkin soup (Mimi’s Cooking cafe) and chestnut-brandy stuffing (Bamboo French Cafe) to the option of giving thanks in casual attire (Doc’s Beach House). Also listed are several restaurants that are offering takeout if ordered in advance of Thanksgiving.
