RI Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving

Indulge in Rhode Island’s Culinary Delights This Thanksgiving 2024!

This year, Thanksgiving arrives a little late, November 28, and with it comes the annual conundrum: to cook or not to cook? For those leaning towards a stress-free holiday, Rhode Island offers a host of dining options that cater to every palate. RI Recommends presents a comprehensive guide for those seeking to enjoy their Thanksgiving feast at a restaurant or in the comfort of their home with a catered meal.

Rhode Island’s culinary scene is brimming with restaurants that serve up the traditional roast turkey that many diners yearn for, but that’s not all. For those who prefer an alternative to turkey, there’s a slew of beef options. Vegetarians need not worry; they’re well accounted for, with full menus available alongside turkey specials. 

Dining options vary, with some establishments offering a fixed price menu for starters, turkey, and dessert, while others present a la carte options to cater to different group sizes. 

For those who prefer to celebrate at home without the hassle of cooking, Thanksgiving dinner-to-go is a convenient choice. Whether it’s a meal for a few or a feast for a crowd, local restaurants have you covered. And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance of any Thanksgiving meal: the pies and sweets. Local bakeries and dessert shops are ready to take your orders, but be quick; these treats are in high demand.

Here is a comprehensive list of restaurants open on Thanksgiving 2024. We’ll add or delete restaurants as we get updated information.
