While it’s going to be a bit different this year, we still have plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving – namely the best Buffalo Bills record since ’93.
If you’re not up for cooking, consider grabbing a delicious Thanksgiving meal minus setup, cooking and cleanup at one of these local restaurants. Check out our list of restaurants around Western New York who will do it all for ya – for both dine in and take out.
At the time this guide was published, all of these restaurants are planning to be open on Thanksgiving. However with things changing rapidly and cancellations possible, please be sure to check with each business before going for the most recent updates possible. We will do our best to keep this list updated with any new information and cancellations should they come up.
Friendly reminder to follow any and all safety protocol put in place by the establishment while visiting. Step Out Buffalo fully supports wearing a mask, practicing social distancing when possible, and just being an all around good neighbor!
