Last year’s menu offered a choice of one dish for each of three courses with options such as butternut squash soup, sweet potato falafel, turkey platter, braised short rib, vegan moussaka and a seasonal trio dessert.

Guests could look forward to a delicious spread of holiday favorites crafted by Chef Greg Gettles, who joined from the 5-star Umstead Hotel. (I LOVE their seasonal shrimp and grits!)

4. Crossroads Chapel Hill at the Carolina Inn (Chapel Hill)

2026 details not posted yet. The Carolina Inn’s event calendar had no Thanksgiving listing when we updated this guide. These are last year’s details.

A historic spot in Chapel Hill, The Carolina Inn offers a grand setting for a Thanksgiving meal sourced from seasonal items across North Carolina.

Their “Block & Cellar” festive feast at the Crossroads Chapel Hill restaurant has been presented in a series of courses on grazing boards including charcuterie, salads, root vegetables, glazed roasted turkey breast and all the fixin’s, finished with a bruleed pumpkin tart.

I love how each course is paired with a crafted wine or spirit, offering a more special holiday dining experience. It’s also a family style meal shared at a community table, so it is perfect for those social creatures who relish the opportunity to socialize with both new and old friends in a relaxed and intimate environment.

Make sure to book in advance, as the Carolina Inn is a popular choice for holiday meals. It’s been the most expensive of the feasts in this list of restaurants open for Thanksgiving, but bear in mind, alcohol is included, where it isn’t at any of the other places mentioned.

• Cost (last listed): $129 per person
• Time (last listed): 5:30pm to 8pm
• Address: 211 Pittsboro Street, Chapel Hill, NC 27516

5. Capital Grille (North Hills Raleigh)

2026 dine-in details not found yet. These are from previous years.

Located in North Hills, Capital Grille‘s thanksgiving dinner is another local’s favorite. This fine-dining steakhouse is known for its impeccable service and dry-aged steaks.

I couldn’t find The Capital Grille’s 2026 Thanksgiving menu when we updated this guide. I’ll update once they stop being so secretive and share the details with the world!

On previous Thanksgivings, they have offered a prix fixe menu that includes traditional Thanksgiving dishes like slow-roasted turkey with brioche sage stuffing and gravy, French green beans with Marcona almonds, and cranberry-pear chutney. Pumpkin cheesecake is an additional $12.

For those who want a more upscale holiday meal, Capital Grille provides that elegant and refined atmosphere you’ll enjoy.

6. Angus Barn (Raleigh)

There is no place in Raleigh for Thanksgiving dinner and holiday celebrations quite like the Angus Barn. This legendary steakhouse in Raleigh is famed for generous portions and rustic, upscale ambiance.

It was so popular that Thanksgiving dinner booked out a year in advance, but in 2025 they changed their policy so that you could only book up to 120 days in advance. Last year we miraculously were able to reserve a table for December when Craig’s parents were here. It wasn’t for Thanksgiving, but we got to experience this iconic restaurant. We think there are probably better steakhouses in Raleigh, but in terms of uniqueness and holiday spirit, it can’t be beat.

On Thanksgiving Day 2026, the Angus Barn’s dining rooms are open from noon to 6pm, according to its 2026 holiday opening times. Call 919-781-2444 to check availability.

Another reason Angus Barn is such a holiday favorite in Raleigh is its stunning, elaborate decorations. Every room in the 650-seat restaurant is decked out from floor to ceiling, each with its own unique Christmas tree, creating a festive atmosphere that guests look forward to experiencing year after year.

• Time: Thursday, November 26, 2026, noon to 6pm (all dining rooms)
