Whether you're chasing a classic turkey dinner, an all-out buffet or pasta in a flaming cheese wheel, these Scottsdale restaurants have you covered for Thanksgiving.
Why it matters: Tables can go fast — the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is already using a waitlist — so make reservations early rather than betting on a walk-in on Nov. 26.
Here's a list of restaurants worth considering.
