Thanksgiving at Blue Mesa Grill includes spicy twists on traditional favorites. (Blue Mesa Grill)
Reserve a table at one of 10 delicious restaurants hosting Thanksgiving brunch, lunch, and/or dinner in Dallas-Fort Worth this year.
Thanksgiving dinner just tastes better when you don’t have to cook it yourself. Let someone else do the cooking (and the dishes!) by reserving a seat for yourself and the family at one of these Dallas/Fort Worth-area restaurants this Turkey Day.

So, save a wishbone and grant your own Thanksgiving dream this year: Let someone else prepare dinner!
