Not cooking on Thanksgiving? These restaurants are open for holiday around Beaufort County
If you don’t enjoy cooking your own Thanksgiving feast — or maybe you are still traumatized by last year’s partially frozen or thoroughly burned bird — it’s time to make plans for the holiday.
With less than a month to go before Turkey Day Nov. 28, Beaufort County restaurants are taking reservations, and some are reporting that seats are in short supply.
Below is a list of restaurants, along with two free community dinners, where area residents and our visitors can dine on traditional holiday fixings and perhaps also make some new friends.
Prices and menus vary, but most of the businesses listed are offering a buffet or prix fixe menu during lunch or dinner hours.
