Need last-minute Thanksgiving dinner plans? Meal Ticket's got you covered.
Thanksgiving is so close we can almost smell the stuffing, but we know there are plenty of non-cooking types out there who prefer to steer clear of the kitchen and hit up a restaurant. Don't fret � even though hot spots like Supper and London Grill are already booked solid, there's still ample opportunity to get your table-service turkey fix this Thursday.

The reservations at Smith & Wollensky (Rittenhouse Hotel, 210 W. Rittenhouse Square) are going fast � their prix-fixe menu features plates like butternut squash pur�e, lump crab cakes and a roasted beet, fris�e and upland cress salad as appetizers. Diners have the option of either cornbread/sausage stuffing or cranberry/orange relish to go with their maple-roasted turkey. Sides are family-style � green beans with walnut butter and blue cheese; or Brussels sprouts with applewood-smoked bacon, pearl onions and dried cranberry, to name two. The cost is $49 per person and $20 for children under 12, not including tax and tip.
Ted's Montana Grill (260 S. Broad St.) is getting into the spirit, too, with an all-day menu. They'll do traditional roast turkey with dressing (see photo), and sides like garlic mashed potatoes, squash casserole and country-style green beans. Just $14 a person. The regular Ted's menu will be available, too.
terra (243 S. Camac St.) is cooking up a special Thanksgiving Day menu featuring homey specialties like spinach and sweet cranberry salad; roasted butternut squash; roasted turkey with herbed pan gravy; pecan chorizo stuffing; green bean casserole; green chili and cheddar mashed potatoes; and finally, apple and pumpkin pies. (Full menu here.) The dinner costs $30 per person, with tax, gratuity and drinks not included.
Thirteen (Marriott Downtown, 1201 Market St.) is doing buffet-style service from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. The hotel restaurant will put out eats like corn and crab chowder; roast turkey with giblet gravy; hand-carved ham and roast beef; and pan-seared sea bass. Sides'll include candied yams and mac 'n' cheese. It's $32.95 for adults and $16.50 for kids 10 and under. After the buffet closes, they'll serve similar stuff family-style from 5 to 9 p.m.; that'll be $21.95 for adults and $11 for children 10 and under.
There's another numerical restaurant going the buffet route, too � Nineteen in the Park Hyatt (Broad and Walnut) will put out their opulent spread from 1 to 6 p.m. It's $65 for adults and $32 for children, and the restaurant is still taking reservations for parties of five or fewer.
Out in NoLibs? Darling�s at The Piazza at Schmidts (1033 N. Second St.) is serving up all the classic dishes we all know and love. If you want to take your meal to go, Darling�s is taking orders for ham or turkey platters (with all the fixins), starting at $19.95 for two people. They'll serve from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
And for those who want to get started a little early, Memphis Taproom (2331 E. Cumberland St.) is kicking off the holiday party on Wednesday, Nov. 25 � all day long, draft beers will be flowing for just $3. They're closed on Thursday, but head on back to Fishtown on Black Friday to check out brunch from noon to 3 p.m. as well as Franconian firkins aplenty. There's still one day left to get a Thanksgiving pita stuffed with turkey, stuffing, cranberry, grilled onions/mushrooms and mayo from Pita Pit (1601 Sansom St.), which'll be open till 5 p.m. tomorrow. Oh, and don't forget the Wednesday-night deals at Varga Bar and Valanni that we mentioned earlier today.
If you know of any other Thanksgiving deals or events in and around Philly, drop us a line or leave a comment. Otherwise, have a safe and happy holiday!
WAIT. Smith & Wollensky makes you choose between cranberry sauce and stuffing? That just ain't right.
