The popularity of eating out on Thanksgiving has grown in the last few years. Preparing and hosting for Turkey Day can be overwhelming in terms of cost and time resources plus the skills needed to throw a great party can be daunting to many people. Eating out makes a lot of sense and oftentimes, costs can be comparable to cooking the entire meal at home.
Many New Jersey restaurants are offering buffet and dinner specials so you can celebrate turkey day in a very tasty fashion.
Here are some local restaurants offering special Thanksgiving menus.
I’ll be updating this post as new information becomes available.
