Bangor-Area Restaurants That Will Be Open Thanksgiving Day

If you want to leave the cooking to someone else, there are plenty of Bangor-area options from which to choose!

As my mother will attest, cooking a Thanksgiving Day meal is a ton of work and preparation. She can never understand why we don't immediately want to help clean up afterward. I mean, you are supposed to unbutton your pants and watch football for at least an hour right? Maybe even squeeze a nap in? Then, it's time for pie, then another hour on the couch.

Well, if you want to skip all of that, and have someone wait on you for the holiday, several restaurants in the Bangor area will be open for business Thursday, with special menus serving up all your Turkey Day favorites, like mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce.

Here is what is open on Thanksgiving Day:

High Tide-5 S Main St, Brewer
