Our family got in the habit of seeking out restaurant buffet options for Thanksgiving dinner back when we used to celebrate with my in-laws since we were always trying to find someplace neutral to celebrate the holidays. It's kind of an annual hobby of mine to figure out good places to go.

Unfortunately, it takes some digging to find out which restaurants offer a Thanksgiving BUFFET (not just a dinner) and then it's challenging to navigate popular review sites which make you jump through hoops with photo slideshows or clicking to their site instead of another.

I just wanted a simple LIST split into Thanksgiving Buffets, Thanksgiving Dinner, and even a Thanksgiving To Go or Thanksgiving Takeout options for taking the meal home.

I hope my list helps you make plans and answers your "What restaurants are open for takeout on Thanksgiving?" and "What's open on Thanksgiving?" questions this year.

2026 Thanksgiving Dinners Orange County

I go through and check all the links multiple times each week - and reservations do start getting booked mid-November!

Thanksgiving Day 2026 is on Thursday, November 26th. (So that's the key to knowing if the reservation or date is for 2026 or a past year when you are searching outside websites.)

The 2026 update has begun! As of November 5th, I'm seeing reservations starting to fill at some places. Any info without a marker means it's updated for 2026. Otherwise, you'll find a 2025 marker at the beginning of the restaurants that haven't been updated, so you can at least get an idea from 2025 menus and prices. I will also add NEW markers for places readers suggest that are newly added for 2026.

How Much Does Eating Out on Thanksgiving Cost for a Family of 4?

Eating out used to be more affordable across the entire year! But with prices going up overall and the holiday event demand, I feel like many of these prices are way out of reach. Go for it if you can afford it!

So a total bill of $110-$320 feels like a splurge and something you could save up for ($40-$135 per adult and $15-$50 for 4-12 years old and $0 for 3 and under). But a $1000+ total bill? That could feed my family for a month or more.

Since I keep track of this each year, I can see who is raising their prices and by how much! When most of you won't remember what the prices were last year unless you paid them. The trend this year seems to be keeping adult prices stable or slightly down and raising the kids prices by $5-$10 and shifting some of the child ages (like 3-12 years old instead of 3-9 years old). Not across the board! Just a noticeable trend.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to the places I noticed kept their prices pretty stable from 2025:

Aquarium of the Pacific and you get admission to the aquarium included, too
Black Angus
Lucille's Smokehouse Barbecue
Tartan Room in Orange
Prego Restaurant at The District in Tustin (brought adult cost down by $10)
Chart House in Dana Point
Bistango Restaurant in Irvine
King's Fish House in Laguna Hills and Orange
Orange Hill Restaurant

I'm going to organize each section by price per person below, starting with under $60 per person. Just know that some prices don't include tax or automatically added gratuity / service charge. And some have a difference between adult and child prices.

Find more info below! And some of the takeout/catering options are better pricing to be around $100/$150 for a family of 6.

2026 Thanksgiving Buffets in Orange County

We are at 15 Thanksgiving buffets since a few of the hotels are offering only 1 option vs. their "normal" two. I can't tell you the BEST Thanksgiving buffet in Orange County, but you should be able to figure out which one is a good fit for you from this list!

Notes:

I included prices for the buffets just for comparison purposes. Some of these restaurants may already be fully booked for the holiday.
In some cases, you may need to pay in advance at the time you make your Thanksgiving reservation. Make sure you call and confirm prices and details when you make your reservation.
Some reservations are brunch, some midday meals, some dinner.
These prices can be daunting and they can be something you save up for all year long. We have eaten humble meals at home and saved up for these kinds of incredibly memorable experiences. I do have to say that post-2024 prices are CRAZY high compared to when I started this list years ago.

Choosing Your Options for Thanksgiving Dinner To Go

We have done our Thanksgivings so many different ways over the years.

You can get the complete meal or just parts of the meal while you prepare the rest at home.

As I see it, here are your options:

Option #1 – You can order only the MAIN COURSE (turkey, prime rib, vegetarian option) and make the SIDES and DESSERTS yourself.

Option #2 – You can order just the MAIN COURSE and SIDES, but make the DESSERTS yourself.

Option #3 – You can order the whole deal: MAIN COURSE, SIDES, and DESSERTS.

Option #4 – You can concentrate on making a homemade Thanksgiving feast and just grab DESSERTS from your favorite bakery or specialty grocery.

Many of these are ORDER AHEAD - so don't wait until the last minute to put in your order! Especially this year, they may need some extra time to get supplies.

I started this tradition last year in 2025. For 2026, I’m donating 50% of the ad income from this guide to one of our local tribes: Juañeno Band of Mission Indians | Acjachemen Nation. You can also make your own direct donation, if you feel so moved.

Who are the Acjachemen?: "The Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation are the Indigenous people of what is now known as Orange County and parts of southern Los Angeles County, California.

Our ancestors lived in established village sites throughout Southern California long before Spanish contact and the establishment of Mission San Juan Capistrano. Despite forced removal, missionization, and federal policies of erasure, Acjachemen families have maintained continuous community, culture and lineage to the present day."
