Thanksgiving in Buellton

November 22, 2019 by staff

Thanksgiving is almost here and many of us will be sitting down to amazing family meals here in Buellton. The dream scenario is perfectly cooked moist turkey, creamy mashed potatoes and warm pumpkin pie, but sometimes Thanksgiving throws you a curveball. If the holidays have taught us anything it’s this: When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Surprise, your in-laws invited themselves over!

Uh-oh, your turkey didn’t thaw! 

Bummer, you forgot your turkey in the backseat of your car after shopping…. And found it three days later! (True story.) 

Dang, you had a surprise visit from the Bumpus hounds who ate your perfect turkey while it rested!

Or maybe you just don’t want the stress and clean up of a large meal. For just such occasions, we have compiled a list of all the Buellton restaurants who can save the day and cook so you don’t have to!

Breakfast

What could be more important than the most important meal of the day on the most important eating holiday of the year?  If you want to get Thanksgiving started on the right foot these businesses will be serving breakfast: 

• Ellen’s Danish Pancake House will be open from 6am – Noon.  
• Coffee Cabin will be open from 5:30 am – Noon.  

Brunch & Lunch

If you are in the market for a brunch time Thanksgiving meal there are several local restaurants at the ready: 

• The Santa Ynez Valley Marriott will be open 10am – 2pm
• Morrell’s Farm Fresh Dining will be open 9am – 2pm
• Taco Roco will be open 7am – 3pm
• The Campfire Cafe at Flying Flags RV Resort will be open 8am – 5pm

Dinner

If you need an emergency backup that will be open all day…just in case then Pea Soup Andersen’s has your back.  They are open 7am -10pm!

We are so thankful for all of the out of town guests that will be making Buellton their home for this Thanksgiving, and we are thankful for the amazing local restaurants that will be open on the holiday, just in case.  

We hope everyone has a happy and smooth Thanksgiving holiday, but if you don’t, now you have a plan!
