Camellia Café in Slidell is open on Thanksgiving Day offering a buffet of turkey and all the trimmings.

 

It's time again for America's big weekend of big dinners and big shopping! Would you rather spend it connecting with family and friends or in a hot kitchen, cooking and cleaning? Is your college kid bringing a few friends home for the holiday weekend? Maybe you have relatives who never RSVP but always show up (with a sheepish grin)? Welcome everyone in this Thanksgiving with extra entrées, sides, desserts and more from one of our great local restaurants or grocers!  Dozens of St. Tammany restaurants offer heat-and-eat, traditional Thanksgiving dinners, enough to feed the whole clan, or à la carte dishes, desserts and drinks to supplement your home-cooked meal. Some restaurants are even open on Thanksgiving Day. Prepare for the holiday weekend now by making reservations or pre-ordering your catered family meal.
