Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching. If you’re not into cooking for days, don’t worry, you aren’t alone.
Sometimes you can be the most thankful when you aren’t stuck doing 3 hours’ worth of dishes. There are great options in Columbus to dine out, and even some that you can take the food home to your own table.
So don’t stress! Here are some fantastic Columbus restaurants that are open on Thanksgiving Day.
J Gilbert’s

Head to J Gilbert’s on Thanksgiving Day from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for a traditional Thanksgiving feast, featuring favorites like roasted turkey and pumpkin pie. The cost of the prix-fixe menu is $46 for adults and $22 for kids under 12. You can also purchase from the regular menu.
The Guild House
The Guild House is bringing together my two favorite things: amazing food and great wine. This year’s Thanksgiving menu includes garlic-whipped potatoes, herbed stuffing, winter succotash, dessert, and more. The cost is $55 for the Thanksgiving dinner and $89 for the dinner and the wine pairing.
