Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday for many - who doesn’t love ridiculous amounts of good food while surrounded by people you love? However, not everyone loves the work and cooking and cleaning that go into a feast-based celebration. Fear not! We’re here to tell you some of the best places in Salt Lake to bring you all of the tasty joy of a Thanksgiving day feast with none of the personal kitchen time. Book ahead, if you can, because reservations tend to fill up quickly. For those of you who are still uncomfortable eating in a people-filled dining room, there are plenty of pickup and/or delivery options available as well.

Oasis Cafe

If you’re the one sneaking in the kitchen for a finger swipe of whipped cream the morning of Thanksgiving, might we suggest this Thanksgiving brunch.
