Restaurants open on Thanksgiving 2026 in Savannah, Hilton Head, Bluffton, Charleston, Kiawah and Isle of Palms: chef’s prix fixe menus, waterfront tables, resort buffets and turkey dinners to go, with prices and booking dates.
Thanksgiving dinner out means a chef's menu, a table someone else has set and no dishes to wash afterward. On Thursday, November 26, 2026, restaurants open on Thanksgiving in Savannah, Hilton Head, Bluffton, Charleston, Kiawah and Isle of Palms serve everything from a chef's prix fixe by the Savannah River to a buffet with a raw bar and live music at Palmetto Bluff, a supper under the lighthouse at Harbour Town and a three-course dinner in a former church on North Market Street. Every menu here is the restaurant's own 2026 Thanksgiving menu, at its own prices, and most take reservations. For a feast at home, the last section lists turkeys and full dinners to order, with order dates from November 19.
Fleeting, the restaurant in the Thompson Savannah on the riverfront, serves a Thanksgiving prix fixe by chef Ari Taymor from 3 to 8pm.

The table shares glazed carrots with goat cheese, delicata squash stuffed with wild rice and pecans, braised collard grains with potlikker, cornbread with sorghum butter and duchess potatoes.
