Rob’s Thanksgiving Dinner Recommendations

Need a last minute suggestion for Thanksgiving dinner? Look no further. You will enjoy all of these terrific Austin-area options.

III Forks Steakhouse & Seafood
We’ve enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinners for the last two years at III Forks. They don’t do a buffet which I like. Instead, they offer platters of white and brown meat with lovely gravy and stuffing, accompanied by delicious green beans, stuffed mushrooms, and much more. This is by far much more than the average steakhouse would come up with but then again, this is no average steakhouse we’re talking about.

Hyde Park Bar & Grille
Thinking of dining at home for Thanksgiving, but not too fond of all of the cooking involved? Hyde Park Bar & Grill is again offering a limited number of take-home fried turkeys for Thanksgiving. They’re a great way to enjoy a perfectly prepared bird in the comfort of your own home.

Estancia Churrascaria
If you haven’t been to this Brazilian dining spot for Thanksgiving before. By all means try it! You will not be disappointed.

Ciclo
This new restaurant at the Four Seasons which has emerged from the former Trio under the stewardship of Richard Sandoval is going to be very special. Try it for Thanksgiving and see why!

24 Diner
This is truly a great little restaurant and every year they are open for Thanksgiving. The food is always terrific.

Creek Road Café
One of the finest spots around for Thanksgiving. This little jewel in Dripping Springs will make your day.

Chinatown
Dim Sum for Thanksgiving? Why the hell not when the food is this good!

Café Blue
Anything exec chef Ben Nathan does I like. Same for sous chef Chelsea. That’s why Café Blue, at the Galleria or downtown, is always one of my top picks for holiday dining!
