Not everyone is up for, or able to partake in, a Thanksgiving Day at home.

Some want to forgo the prep. Others might be going it alone this year.

For those who want to go out for a meal on the holiday, some restaurants are open for dine-in service. And one of the best parts for you: no cleanup.

With the help of restaurants and food establishments, we’ve compiled a list of where to dine this Thanksgiving. Reservations are strongly recommended or even required at most.
