Rockford: 5 Restaurants for Thanksgiving Dinner
Moving to a new house is a pretty stressful ordeal, especially if you're moving around the holidays. Not only have you had a million other things to worry about, but many of your pots, pans, and kitchen utensils are likely still packed up in boxes. So no one will blame you if you don't feel like cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year. Fortunately, there are plenty of restaurants near Rockford homes for sale that can provide everything you need and then some for a delicious Thanksgiving Day feast. Here are our favorite places in the Rockford area where you can go for Thanksgiving dinner.
- Thunder Bay Grille - 7652 Potawatomi Trail, Rockford, IL 61107
Serving up a Thanksgiving buffet from 10 am to 4 pm, Thunder Bay Grille, just off the I-90, is a great place for your afternoon meal. Amazing chefs cook up a variety of great food all year, but on Thanksgiving, they go all out. The beauty of a buffet is all the different options. If there's some traditional Thanksgiving dish you don't like, rest assured there will be alternatives you can have instead, including vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. And whatever you decide on, at Thunder Bay Grille, it's sure to be delicious. - GreenFire - 6795 E. Riverside Blvd., Rockford, IL 61114
The Harvest Feast at GreenFire has everything you could want from a Thanksgiving dinner. Known for their seasonal offerings and fresh ingredients, on Thanksgiving, they serve free-range, roasted turkey with gravy, sage stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, fresh cranberry sauce, pumpkin or apple pie fresh from their bakery, and more. If you're looking for amazing home cooking that you don't have to cook, GreenFire is the place to go. - Stockholm Inn - 2420 Charles St., Rockford, IL 61108
They may be a Swedish restaurant, but Stockholm Inn still knows how to do an American holiday in style, with only the best, freshest, highest quality ingredients. Serving up a Thanksgiving buffet you won't soon forget, you can dine in with a reservation or order by phone and for carryout if you'd rather eat at home. - Hoffman House Supper Club - 7550 E. State St., Rockford, IL 61108
Open in Rockford since 1958, this family-run restaurant is the place to go for comfort and elegance. Most of the year, they serve steak and prime rib, but on Thanksgiving, Hoffman House Supper Club offers a turkey dinner with all the fixings. Their Thanksgiving buffet includes a turkey carving station, stuffing, soup, salad, and all the other traditional fare. They also offer curbside pickup, with several different Thanksgiving options, plus pie! - Franchesco's Ristorante - 7128 Spring Creek Rd., Rockford, IL 61107
If you want something on the fancier side for Thanksgiving, Franchesco's Ristorante has what you're looking for. An upscale Italian restaurant, they still put together a great Thanksgiving dinner. That includes your choice of oven-roasted turkey or honey-glazed ham, creamy mashed potatoes with homestyle gravy, green beans almondine, cranberry sauce, artisanal bread, and pumpkin pie. Be sure to make your reservation in advance, as space is limited. Or if you have a large group, you can order a full dinner to go that will serve 14-16 people. Be sure to place your order by November 25th, and pay in advance, to guarantee this elaborate (but highly worthwhile) meal.
Rockford has plenty of great places to eat at Thanksgiving and year-round. If you're ready to make Rockford your new home, contact us. Our real estate agents will help you find the right house for you.
