Does anyone have any suggestions on where to eat our Thanksgiving dinner? We don't want to cook and thought this year we would try eating out.

Great suggestion gagirl - I agree!

This will be our 3rd Thanksgiving at the Boatyard & I highly recommend it.
On their website, it says that if you want the traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner, they will carve the turkey at your table for you & serve all the sides family style. What you don't eat, you can take home for next day leftovers. Sounds like a deal! You have to let them know ahead of time, so make your reservations early!
I'm going for the lobster stuffed grouper!

The boatyard is great, but I would go all out and find a restaurant with a beautiful view of the beach to make Thanksgiving even more special. Just my .02

From what I could see, most of the beachfront restaurants were either closed for Thanksgiving or closed for the season.
The Boatyard was great & extremely busy! We were glad we had made reservations; almost no wait time. When we left, there were a lot of people waiting for a table that had been waiting quite a while.
Lobster stuffed grouper & Key lime garlic shrimp!
Fabulous and the weather was perfect!
