Thanksgiving is a week away, and according to a new report from WalletHub, Dallas is one of the best cities to celebrate the holiday. In the ranking of the Best Places to Go for Thanksgiving in 2024, Dallas placed fifth overall.

While many restaurants [and Walmart] will be closed, there are plenty of great options for those who prefer dining out rather than cooking at home or attending a family gathering. If you're looking to skip the kitchen this year, here are some Dallas-Fort Worth restaurants open on Turkey Day.

The Statler in downtown Dallas promises an unforgettable Thanksgiving dinner experience. Guests can enjoy a delightful buffet featuring chef-curated dishes, including Artisan mixed greens salad, herb-roasted turkey, slow-roasted beef strip loin, herb-crusted salmon and a selection of festive sides such as sweet potato casserole and wild mushroom and cornbread stuffing. Indulge in fresh-baked holiday pies and miniature desserts, all complemented by festive cocktails.

Reservations are $70 per person.

Turkey Day brunch will take place in the Ryder Cup Ballroom, featuring seasonal favorites like roasted butternut and sweet potato soup, sage-roasted turkey and delectable desserts.

Guests will be greeted with a complimentary glass of Champagne and can indulge in a buffet offering a fall salad bar, a pasta station, a carving station with roasted beef tenderloin, sushi rolls and shrimp cocktail. Entrees include cedar-smoked salmon, bourbon and cherry-glazed ham, and braised short ribs, alongside classic sides like Boursin smashed potatoes and green bean casserole. A special kids' corner features mini mac and cheese, chicken tenders, and seasonal fruit cups.

Pricing is $100 for adults and $35 for children (ages 3-12), with advance payment required.

The Thanksgiving menu at Wicked Butcher, located in downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, features indulgent dishes like turkey roulade, Berkshire pork chop, beef Wellington and green curry salmon, all crafted to make guests holiday unforgettable.

Continuing a tradition, Norma's will open its doors for its 36th Annual Free Thanksgiving dinner, featuring turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy and a slice of pumpkin pie. 

For just $59 for adults and $29 for kids 12 and under, guests can enjoy a festive meal starting with a seasonal soup or salad, followed by herb-roasted turkey breast with all the classic sides — mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry apple compote. Add family-style sides and save room for dessert, featuring carrot cake or pumpkin cheesecake.

The full menu of seafood dishes is also available.

In addition to its full menu, Eddie V's will serve turkey with pan gravy, brioche sage stuffing, housemade mashed potatoes, cranberry chutney and French green beans with sundried tomatoes. There will also be dessert — pumpkin pie tartlet with pecan ice cream.

Thanksgiving at Fearing's will feature a festive three-course feast that includes tangerine-glazed turkey, Prime beef filet mignon and desserts like Pumpkin-Biscoff Cookie Parfait, all crafted by a James Beard Award-winning chef. Whether it's the roasted pumpkin soup or chicken-fried Nilgai antelope, each dish is a refined take on traditional holiday flavors, per the restaurant.

Guests can enjoy a delightful three-course menu featuring traditional Herb-Roasted Turkey, filet mignon or prime bone-in ribeye. Each meal comes with a starter, housemade stuffing, mashed potatoes and green beans with apricots and onions, along with cinnamon orange cranberry sauce and dessert. There is also a children's three-course menu for $31.
