Restaurants Open for Thanksgiving 2023

Thanksgiving is the perfect time of year to cultivate gratitude, taking stock of everything you have to be thankful for and appreciating the little things in life. Of course, not having to cook gives you another blessing to count. If you’re hoping to hang up the oven mitts and skip the dishwashing this year, there are several restaurants open on November 23rd. Consider shaking a turkey leg and heading to one of the following: 

Jill’s Restaurant at St Julien’s Hotel and Spa

Jill’s Restaurant is offering a three-course pre-fixe Thanksgiving menu that features family-style sides, a champagne toast, and vegetarian selections. Reservations are available between 11 AM and 7 PM on Thanksgiving Day and children under four eat free.

Centro Mexican Kitchen

If you’re looking to spice up your Thanksgiving, Centro Mexican Kitchen is ready to give your holiday a kick. Centro offers Thanksgiving specials in-house, as well as options for take and bake. The latter allows you to celebrate the holiday in your home sweet home without spending all day cooking and cleaning. Trade in your turkey for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and more.

Chautauqua Dining Hall

As any good Boulderite knows, Chautauqua is a staple of the town and it can be a staple of your Thanksgiving, as well. The Chautauqua Dining Hall provides dinner with a view, offering a spectacular atmosphere and a chance to get a hike in before or following your meal. You gotta make room for pumpkin pie, after all.

SALT Bistro

SALT features fresh, local, and seasonal food with a focus on fruits, vegetables, herbs, and meats. SALT is also well-known for its cocktail menu, which puts the likes of rum, scotch, tequila, absinthe, vermouth, curry leaves, cinnamon, ginger, pineapple, honey, and more to good use. Cheers to the holidays!

Spruce Farm and Fish at Hotel Boulderado

Spruce Farm and Fish at Hotel Boulderado offers both a Thanksgiving brunch and a Thanksgiving dinner. Spruce focuses on natural and locally sourced ingredients, fresh food, and high quality, partnering with sustainable oyster farms and fisheries from around the globe. 


If you’re hoping to kick back and relax this Thanksgiving, avoiding the kitchen is a good start. Consider one of these restaurants and have a great holiday!
