The Essential Guide to Celebrating Thanksgiving 2021 in Southeast Michigan #DetroitFood
Plan ahead with reservations so you don’t have lunchmeat turkey dinners on the holiday
Happy holiday season! This year, skip the cooking and dishes and treat yourself or the family to an excellent holiday meal prepared by someone else. Whether you’re ordering takeout, eyeing restaurant reservations, or debating between the two, below are some Thanksgiving feasting options this year in metro Detroit.
Reserve meals sooner rather than later as many restaurants and bakeries have cutoff dates for reserving holiday meals and treats. This list will be updated as new options become available. Email detroit@eater.com if we’ve missed a spot.
