Do Thanksgiving Your Way!

Do Thanksgiving Your Way!

Is the thought of entertaining your relatives for the holiday weekend already making you want to slip into your turkey coma?

Does cooking a full meal on Thanksgiving make you want to run for the hills? Are you visiting Fredericksburg for the first time and have no idea where to celebrate with your family?
 
Let’s get real, we love our friends and families, but sometimes managing plans and travel for the holidays can be stressful! (Plus, figuring out how to cook a turkey is hard. Do you bake it? Is a broiler involved? Should you plan for 2 hours, or does it take 10? And what is that air fryer thing everyone is talking about?)
 
If this sounds like you, and you’d prefer to shake things up this Thanksgiving, have we got some good news for you!
 
There are a lot of restaurants that will be open on Thanksgiving Day, so if you just can’t bear the thought of making a five course meal in your own kitchen, head to one of these Fredericksburg favorites to enjoy a meal, no stress involved.
