From BBQ to buffets: Six popular Columbus eateries open on Thanksgiving
For obvious reasons, it’s hard to find an open restaurant (or an open anything, for that matter) on Thanksgiving. Whether you don’t feel like cooking, are just doing your own thing, or if you’ve made a family tradition about dining out for the holiday, don’t worry. You still have options.
We’ve put together a list of some popular Columbus eateries that are staying open on Thanksgiving. Let’s dig in.
Ray’s Ray’s Hog Pit, the popular Columbus BBQ outfit, will be open from 11:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. this Thanksgiving. This gives diners more than enough time to grab one of their single-serve Thanksgiving plates, which includes smoked turkey or pit ham, green beans, mashed potatoes, and gravy. They’ll be available at the Ray’s Ray’s trucks in both Clintonville and Westerville.
Because here in Columbus we love a good Cameron Mitchell Restaurants Thanksgiving, The Guild House is ready for the big day with a fixed four-course menu featuring parsnip soup, squash, turkey, and a sweet potato roll for dessert. The dinner costs $49 person, or $79 per person with wine pairings.
