Restaurants Open For Thanksgiving Dinner In Tyler

Thanksgiving is one of my all-time favorite holidays of the year! It's a time of year when we all can be thankful for our blessings. Family, friends, and loved ones unite to give thanks-and watch FOOTBALL! Of course. Now that I'm a new mother, I understand that there are times when holiday cooking may not go as planned, or maybe you just want a break from being the noted family chef. Either way, here are my top five restaurants that are open for Thanksgiving dinner in Tyler this year. Enjoy!

T.G.I. Friday's
Delicious food that's not too serious!
Why I love it: T.G.I. Friday's in Tyler not only has exceptionally good food, but their waitstaff, hosts, and managers are so friendly! If you're ready to break the traditional "turkey day" norm, then T.G.I. Friday's is the place to go this year for Thanksgiving dinner! Friday's features an array of food from all-American burgers, to mahi-mahi. Don't even get me started on their Ultimates (drinks)! Also, T.G.I. Friday's is open on ALL major holidays... some food for thought.

IHOP
Yummy food no matter what time of day... or night!
Why I love it: IHOP has so much to offer, and just in time for the holidays. Featuring a huge variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, IHOP is the place to go if you don't have a set holiday eating schedule. IHOP is also a perfect choice if you have to work this year on Thanksgiving, or will be traveling late. There is a dish for every desire at IHOP. Kids don't like turkey? I bet they will love to feast on chocolate pancakes this year! (Be prepared to wait)

McDonald's
Food, Folks, Fun!
Why I love it: Not into cooking this year, and you have small kids? McDonald's in Tyler is your lifesaver! Not only do they have the beloved Happy Meal, but most locations have an awesome play-yard for kids to burn some off that restless energy -and give you a break! Plus, if you are into chatting, invite your friends that have young children to come too! What a perfect way to enjoy your Thanksgiving, eat, chat, and tire out those kiddos!
