Not everyone wants to host a grand feast for Thanksgiving — some folks prefer a takeout meal, while others would rather skip the fuss of hosting entirely.
Driving the news: For those of us who want to avoid the dishes, the cleanup and the guests who maybe linger a bit too long, several of Portland's best restaurants are ready to step in.
The Brix Tavern offers up a traditional prix fixe menu with turkey, prime rib, a vegetable Wellington, and no shortage of sides at its three locations.
- $49.95 for adults; $17.95 for kids ages 4-12; younger kids eat free.
Portland's iconic chicken and waffles joint is hosting its first Thanksgiving meal this year at its NW location, with all the traditional fare available a la carte, plus roasted salmon and a pork shank braised in red wine. And, of course, the fried chicken that made them famous.
- $28-$42 for main courses.
Worried you won't be satisfied by a prix fixe menu? Head out to Edgefield for a Thanksgiving buffet featuring everything you'd expect for the holiday, plus the option to wander the grounds of the historic hotel to work up an appetite for seconds.
- $55 for adults; $33 for kids ages 5-12; younger kids eat free.
One of the Woodlawn neighborhood's best eateries, Campana is serving up a solid three-course prix fixe, with some Italian twists — we're intrigued by the pumpkin Parmesan soup — to keep you sated and thankful.
- $80 a person.
If you go: Reservations are highly recommended for most restaurants on Thanksgiving.
