Making a Thanksgiving feast is no mean feat. Maybe you can’t stand the smell of Brussels sprouts permeating your kitchen, or pie crust is your sworn enemy. Perhaps your tiny apartment kitchen could never dream of roasting a 20-pound bird. Whatever your reasons, the Mercury is here to help with our list of restaurants for Thanksgiving dine-in and takeout.
Thanksgiving Dine-In
Andina
Andina is serving its annual family-style Peruvian Thanksgiving, which means you get three savory courses for $110 ($60 for kids) including ceviche, crab causa, turkey with masa stuffing, and a Peruvian take on green bean casserole, plus a round of Peruvian desserts at the end. Bonus: vegan and vegetarian options are also available. 1314 NW Glisan

The Hoxton
Go buffet-style and feast on turkey and prime rib for $75 per person. Sides include mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, salad, stuffing, and roast veggies.

Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available, but vegan options are limited. 15 NW 4th, book at resy.com
Huber’s Cafe
Open since 1879, Huber’s is Portland’s oldest continuously operating restaurant, and it certainly feels that way inside, with glossy wood-paneled walls, arched stained glass ceilings, and waiters donning vests and ties. Huber’s is known for its turkey (and flaming Spanish coffee), so it’s a hot Thanksgiving reservation. 411 SW 3rd
Jake’s Famous Crawfish
Jake’s is serving a no-nonsense two-course turkey dinner ($39 adults, $17 kids) that includes your choice of butternut squash soup and salad, followed by turkey and all the usual fixings. A slice of pumpkin pie is an extra $5. 401 SW 12th

Take your pick of a two-course classic turkey dinner in the main dining room, or go all out for the $55 ($20 for kids) buffet in the ballroom, which includes not only turkey, but also brown sugar bourbon salmon, New York strip loin, and an entire chilled seafood display with snow crab legs, oysters on the half shell, and prawns. That’s not even counting sides like cornbread dressing and smoked gouda mac ‘n’ cheese. 611 SW 10th
