Best Places for Thanksgiving and Holiday Meals in Plymouth

There is no better way to spend Thanksgiving than in the town of its origin, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Plymouth has some very good restaurants with many of them offering Thanksgiving and holiday meals.

Plimoth Plantation
This is by far the best place for Thanksgiving and holiday meals in Plymouth, if not all of New England. It is the location of the first Thanksgiving dinner and home to the first colonists. Because of this the Thanksgiving and holiday meals at Plimoth plantation sell out very fast each year. There are four Thanksgiving dinner options at the Pimoth Plantation, Plymouth, MA.

Option 1 Thanksgiving in the Courtyard
This is the cheapest dinner option and it also doesn’t require you to make reservations. Thanksgiving dinner is served from 11am to 4pm in the courtyard of the Visitor Center. The menu consists of a traditional Thanksgiving meal of roast turkey, stuffing, butternut squash, cranberry sauce and a coffee or soft drink. The cost of Thanksgiving in the Courtyard is $16.99 and is on a first come first serve basis.

Option 2 All Day Thanksgiving Celebration
This is the simple no fuss option, and is more for those who wish to visit the Plimoth Plantation on Thanksgiving for the historic and educational significance. There are no reservations necessary and the All Day Thanksgiving Celebration runs from 9am to 5pm. Food options are light and include sandwiches, homemade clam chowder, apple cider, muffins and cocktails.

Option 3 Thanksgiving Day Buffet
The Thanksgiving Day Buffet is one of the two big holiday meals offered. It is by reservation only and has four sittings with the first at 11am and the last at 6pm. The buffet includes all the traditional Thanksgiving holiday meal fixings such a turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and more. However it also has some non-traditional items like Roast Beef.
