Thanksgiving Restaurant or Carry Out Options?

[ArkRescue]

Waldorf/Laplata/Accokeek area: I have never paid attention to what's open on Thanksgiving. A number of people I know locally are in need of either a restaurant to eat at or a place to p/u carry out from that is fresh/hot. Are local restaurants usually open or closed? For those that are open are they generally so busy that you need a reservation and/or should expect a long wait? One family has construction going on inside their home so the typical family meal is not happening this year. Another just doesn't want the prep/mess but wants a special meal that day to eat at home .

I know that my daughter ordered from Cracker Barrel one year. IDK if there's one in their area or not.

We have reservations at Hammerhead Fred's and will be dining on chargrilled oysters (the only kind I'll eat) for TG. Full buffet menu:

- Cajun Roast Turkey
- Beef Tenderloin Carving Station
- Smoked Pork Loin
- Fried Shrimp
- Char Grilled Oysters
- Bourbon Street Pasta
- Parmesan Flounder
- Yukon Gold Mash & Gravy
- Fried Okra
- Traditional Stuffing
- Cranberry sauce
- Gouda Grits & Tasso Gravy
- Sweet Potato Mash
- Red Beans & Rice
- Caribbean Vegetable Blend
- Tossed Salad
- Rolls & Butter
- Pecan Pie
- Apple Cobbler

I hate a big delicious buffet, though, because I don't have enough appetite to do it justice. Just a bite of everything is an enormous plate of chow, plus having just a bite of cheese grits or mashies - who even does that?? I'm considering the ethics of bringing containers and stashing leftovers in my purse....

chargrilled oysters (the only kind I'll eat)

I recently "perfected" my own grilled oyster technique and recipe after discovering how great they are. At our last family oyster feast (an annual thing) the grilled oysters were far more popular than our long-running favorites...oysters Rockefeller and oregano. I'll be grilling a bunch this xgiving weekend for sure.

There is one in Brandywine which isn't too far.

I have the same issue with not eating enough to make good use of a buffet yet my waist usually seems to stay the same although I must admit being sick with Covid since 10/5 has resulted in weight loss, although I don't recommend this kind of torturous illness for 7 weeks to lose weight. Having daily physical exercise with one's mate would be a much better way to drop weight .

I believe Denny's is open or has take out as well as many grocery stores offer meals to go.

Weis is advertising such.

They are looking for meals that don't need to be reheated to eat like many of those Take Home Dinners from the Grocery Stores.

If there are any restaurants in hotels those also typically offer holiday meals.

I was thinking that Longhorn would seem like a good option.

Many restaurants close Thanksgiving and Christmas understandably.

Never understood the deal with Denny's, I was in one and as a white guy I couldn't get served either.
