Dine in or Feasts to go! Whether you are planning on hosting a house full of guests, keeping it small or dining out for Thanksgiving, Mattison’s Restaurants and Catering gives you plenty of options to choose from to help you enjoy your Thanksgiving stress free and actually spend time with your friends and family instead of spending all of your time cooking and cleaning – imagine that! All three Mattison’s Restaurants will be open on Thanksgiving Day offering traditional Thanksgiving Day specials and regular menu items. If you want to stay home but don’t want to spend your day in the kitchen, Mattison’s can help with that too. Mattison’s offers complete family style feasts available for pick-up on Thanksgiving Day! The feasts include Fresh Free Bird Farms All-Natural Antibiotic & Hormone Free Whole Oven Roasted Turkey, Apple Walnut Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, Giblet Gravy, Fresh Cranberries, and Rolls with Boursin Butter. Apple, Pecan or Pumpkin pies can be added. Also available is the Spiced Pumpkin Torte, recently featured on WWSB Channel 7 The Suncoast View. The turkey and side dishes can be ordered a la carte if you just need the turkey or are in charge of cooking a side dish or bringing dessert. Mattison’s makes it easy for you to get just what you need.
