There’s no doubt the roller coaster that is 2020 might leave some thinking the only thing to be thankful for this year is that it’s nearly over.

You don’t have any restaurants in the far NW, Willowbrook area. Why is that.
Hi there! This is an old Thanksgiving article from 2020! Below is a link to our newest. Most restaurants that are included email us their info, and we haven’t heard of hardly any in that area that are doing something for Thanksgiving. That said, there’s a Perry’s Steakhouse near you and they’re offering both to-go and dine in. Preorders for to-go meals start at 11 a.m. *today* (Wednesday, 11/22). Also, if you’re willing to head to 290/Cypress, Marvino’s is open for dine-in, while Galiana’s is offering a to-go family meal.
