Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and some people do not do a traditional Kentucky holiday dinner. There are those that are unable to cook, or have no family to actually visit. Fortunately, for people in that situation, there are some wonderful restaurants that serve up a festive Thanksgiving meal. Local soup kitchens also usually provide a turkey dinner for any homeless or poor, in areas that have such facilities. Everyone deserves some holiday love and a good meal, and most Kentuckians try to take care of our own.
Here are 9 mouth-watering restaurants to enjoy a Kentucky Thanksgiving dinner:

This buffet style restaurant is a favorite among locals and is located at 3202 Shelbyville Road in Shelbyville. There is never a shortage of delicious food, but on Thanksgiving, they switch up and add turkey, along with the chicken. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious, especially on the holidays. This is a great place to consider if you want to escape your own kitchen during Thanksgiving.
We have dined at 2339 Cambellsville Road in Columbia on more then one occasion. We never left disappointed. Everything is made fresh, and you can taste the love that goes into every bite. On Thanksgiving they have a special turkey dinner with all the fixings available, and a packed house is not unusual. Don’t worry though, as they make enough to go around. For the record, they also have chocolate gravy, as shown in the image. That is hard to come by when not made at home.
Those looking for a unique way to spend Thanksgiving should consider taking a cruise that includes dinner at 101 Riverboat Row in Newport. There are several different river boats to choose from, and the food is delicious. BB offers a variety of holiday cruises for those who would rather spend an evening out rolling down the Ohio River.
