Thanksgiving is a prime opportunity to gather with friends and family, watch a little football, fuel up for Black Friday shopping, and enjoy a traditional holiday meal. And while many of us wait for the feast all year long, we don’t necessarily relish the prep and clean-up. If you and yours are considering dining out this year, check out these eight restaurants around Birmingham offering delicious Thanksgiving Day fare!
Seasons 52

The Seasons 52 Thanksgiving menu offers an opportunity to indulge in all of the traditional favorites — think sliced, roasted all-natural turkey and cranberry relish along with their own unique twists, such as mashed butternut squash and brioche stuffing.
