Dine-In or Take-Out: How Spartanburg Restaurants Can Make Your Thanksgiving Meal
We love a home-cooked meal as much as the next person, but preparing a main course (or two) and countless side dishes in a house filled with guests can lead to a lot of stress for your festive feast.
Whether you’re turning Thanksgiving weekend into a getaway, or looking to make the cooking process a little easier, several Spartanburg County restaurants are there for you.
From take-home, heat-and-serve options to restaurants open and serving on Turkey Day itself, check out this roundup of where, and how, you can take advantage of Thanksgiving spirit from a professional kitchen.
