Thanksgiving is one of those rare moments when the pace of life slows down and families, friends, and colleagues gather around the table. It’s a holiday built on gratitude, tradition, and, of course, an abundant Thanksgiving Dinner. But let’s be honest, hosting at home often comes with its own chaos: endless shopping lists, hours of cooking, and a kitchen that looks like a storm blew through it by the end of the day.
This year, why not give yourself the gift of relaxation and let someone else handle the cooking, the serving, and the cleanup? At Eddie Merlot’s Steakhouse, the spirit of Thanksgiving gets an upgrade. Here, the holiday feels indulgent yet effortless, with hand-cut steaks, chef-crafted sides, and a setting that makes everyone feel celebrated. It’s not just dinner, it’s an experience worth savoring.
1. Skip the Work, Enjoy the Day
For many hosts, Thanksgiving starts days before the actual holiday. You’re making lists, running to the store for that forgotten ingredient, prepping potatoes and pies, and juggling oven schedules that never quite line up. By the time the Turkey is finally served, you’re too tired to even truly enjoy it.
At Eddie Merlot’s, you get all the joy of the Thanksgiving dinner without any of the stress. No rushing, no frantic order changes, no mountain of dishes waiting in the sink. Instead, you and your guests get to sit back, sip a cocktail, and focus on what really matters: sharing laughter, memories, and gratitude.
Here’s what you’ll leave behind when you celebrate at a restaurant like Eddie Merlot’s:
- No shopping lists — every ingredient is already sourced and perfected.
- No hours of cooking — the chefs handle every detail of the menu.
- No cleanup — once your meal is finished, the only thing left to do is linger over dessert.
It’s the kind of stress-free dining experience that makes you wonder why you didn’t try it sooner.
2. A Feast That Goes Beyond Turkey
Turkey may be the classic star of Thanksgiving, but it’s not the only dish that makes a meal memorable. At Eddie Merlot’s, you’ll enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner that goes far beyond the basics with a specially curated holiday menu.
Here’s what’s available this year:
- Starters (select one) – Classic Wedge Salad, Caesar Salad, Eddie’s House Salad, or a rich King Crab & Corn Bisque.
- Entrée – Hand-Carved Roasted Turkey with Traditional Sage Stuffing, Brown Gravy, and Cranberry Relish.
- Side Dishes (select two) – Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potato Casserole, Sautéed Green Beans, Fresh Asparagus, or Fresh Broccoli.
- Desserts (select one) – Carrot Cake, Triple Chocolate Cake, or Crème Brûlée with Pumpkin Spice Crème.
At just $49 per guest (with a Kids’ Thanksgiving Meal for $24), this is a special offer that combines tradition with indulgence. And because the full dinner menu is also open, guests who want to order a prime-aged Steak or fresh seafood can still enjoy their favorites alongside the seasonal selections.
This variety makes Eddie Merlot’s the perfect place to celebrate—whether you’re a turkey loyalist, a steak enthusiast, or simply someone who wants a holiday meal cooked to perfection.
