There’s plenty to love about dining out or ordering takeout on Thanksgiving, not least of which is eliminating or at least cutting way back on shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Thankfully, you can still find Seattle restaurants offering fairly last-minute dine-in reservations or takeout preorders, including these 12 places with everything from vegan feasts or fancy steaks to beignets or pumpkin pie. Of course, holiday availability can change quickly, so check websites or call ahead.

This year Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 24. It’s a complicated holiday, especially given Seattle’s location on the unceded ancestral lands of the Duwamish people, who still reside here, so visit the Duwamish tribe website for more information about how to advocate for the tribe’s federal recognition.

Zylberschtein's

Copy Link

Take home a meal from Pinehurst Jewish deli Zylberschtein’s, which has roasted turkey dinners available for preorder. For $30 you’ll get a package intended to feed one, including turkey breast, Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce. For more options, check the a la carte list, which ranges from smoked turkey legs and rolls to apple or pumpkin pie, whole or by the slice.

Although a dine-in experience on Thanksgiving Day appears to be booked out, Sunset Hill’s brick oven-fueled bistro Samara is offering a couple ways to enjoy its Thanksgiving feast at home. Takeout options include a four-course take-and-bake dinner — featuring smoked heritage turkey breast and confit dark meat with giblet gravy, a grilled chicory salad, plenty of sides and snacks, and dessert choices like pumpkin pie or caramel nut tart — as well as a stripped-down turkey plate with a dessert, both available for preorder.

Carillon Kitchen at the Woodmark Hotel

Kirkland’s Carillon Kitchen at the Woodmark Hotel is offering Thanksgiving takeout with a two-order minimum. Sides like butternut squash and Dungeness crab bisque, roasted baby carrots, and crispy Brussels sprouts with pancetta complement the main course of roasted turkey with giblet gravy and house-made cranberry sauce. Pumpkin pie with chantilly cream caps off the meal; call by November 17 to secure yours.

Cafe Flora

Cafe Flora is a reliable Madison Valley destination for fine vegetarian dining, with a spacious, heated atrium and plenty of vegan and gluten-free options too. Call to see if Cafe Flora still has reservations for its four-course Thanksgiving dinner, with options like potato and cauliflower mash with mushroom gravy, delicata squash stuffed with pilaf, and a whole kids’ menu. If you want to take something home instead, preorder pumpkin pie, bourbon pecan pie, and caramelized onion rolls from sibling Flora Bakehouse in Beacon Hill.

Steak-and-seafood institution Daniel’s Broiler is serving a four-course Thanksgiving meal at three locations — South Lake Union, Leschi Marina, and Bellevue — although reservations are going fast and Leschi may be the only one with seats left.

For $215 you can preorder a roast dinner featuring maple-glazed smoked seitan and salted caramel apple pie, or for $195 you can try a meat-free meatloaf with pumpkin praline cheesecake pie; each meal also comes with a handful of sides like Nana’s cornbread stuffing and of course Mac & Yease. They’re both intended to feed five or six people, and you can add on more dishes if you want.

Bourbon Steak

Copy Link

For Thanksgiving, Downtown Seattle’s Michael Mina steakhouse has a three-course menu featuring options like tuna tartare, squash bisque with Dungeness crab, turkey with chestnut stuffing, and beignets.

Long-time favorite Wild Ginger, known for its Asian-fusion fare and impressive wine list, will be open on Thanksgiving at its Downtown location 2 to 8 p.m. and its Bellevue location 3 to 9 p.m. Beyond the full menu, the restaurant hasn’t released its holiday lineup yet, but past specials have included Malay stuffed turkey and kabocha curry.

Classic Downtown steakhouse Metropolitan Grill is once again offering take-home meals for pickup or delivery this Thanksgiving, starting at $195 and intended to feed four, with your choice of prime rib, ham, or roasted turkey alongside garlic mashed potatoes, roasted root vegetables, mini apple and pumpkin pies, and more. You can of course add sides and a bottle of the restaurant’s private-label Walla Walla cabernet to your order.
