The time to feast on slow-roasted turkey, sagey stuffing, and plenty o’ pies is nigh, TBAY.
Now’s the time to book those reservations for the holiday week, order your pre-made turkey and sides if you plan on staying home, or preorder a pie to take to the in-laws.
Editor’s note: These slots will likely fill up fast, we recommend booking reservations soon.
Thanksgiving reservations
Tampa EDITION | Tampa’s five-star hotel is offering special spreads at all three of its in-house restaurants. Choose from preserved-lemon turkey breast and medjool date cake at Azure, a Mediterrean-inspired prix fixe meal at Lilac, or Italian-infused Thanksgiving classics at Market.
Rococo Steak | Thanksgiving week is the perfect excuse for a steakhouse visit. Or skip the rib eyes and opt for the Burg spot’s crab fritters, lamb chops, Roman gnocchi, and raw oysters.
Ceviche Tapas Bar & Restaurant | The beloved downtown St. Pete is back — on the other side of the Bay. Go back home and cut into faves like the puerco y pollo paella and sip on Kentucky Carajillos during the holiday week.
Bern’s Steak House | Skip the turkey entirely and order filets and mashed potatoes from the famed South Tampa steak house. Pro Tip: Reservations are hard to come by at this spot.
Oystercatchers at Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay | Head to one of Editor Bailey’s favorite scenic eateries for an aptly Tampa Bay spread. Fresh-shucked oysters, smoked fish dip, oyster stuffing, and mojo-roasted turkey are on the menu.
Take-home feasts
Naked Farmer | Choose from vegetarian-friendly options, Thanksgiving sides, surf-and-turf packages, or roast turkey and gravy trays when creating the decadent experience of your Turkey Day dreams.
Alessi Bakery | Yes, your favorite local bakery is serving the full spread — complete with a butter-basted turkey, egg knot rolls, and a 9-inch pie. Or opt for something a little less traditional with the spiral-cut ham or roasted pork dinner.
4 Rivers | Create the perfect feast for your family, with salmon, smoked turkey, boneless ham, prime rib, and angus brisket options. Plus, you know the barbecue spot’s sides are going to be a hit. We recommend the cornbread stuffing and mac and cheese.
Pies
Cafe Clementine | Decked out with fresh and frosting flowers + edible bows, these treats add a touch of glam to your table. Plus, pick up the bakery’s take and bake savory scones, garlic herb dinner rolls, or a loaf of fresh sourdough for all that leftover turkey.
Boulon Brasserie | The French eatery is serving modern takes on the classics, like a hummingbird pecan tart, apple and brown butter tart, and a brûlée buttermilk vanilla bean pie.
