Thanksgiving food in Utah – where to eat in 2024 – Gastronomic Salt Lake City

If the slightest thought of the inevitable pot-and-pan disaster on T-Day sends you into an existential crisis, then this list is for your friend. The following compendium contains every Thanksgiving food option I know of. From extravagant plated meals to delicious buffets to comfort food options, this is the most comprehensive list you'll find in the state. I guarantee it or your money back.

Before we begin, click the Bookmarks button in your browser. The following list will be expanded significantly in the coming weeks. As restaurants release their deals and specials, I will update the collection daily. My advice: check back regularly and make a reservation as soon as you like something.

As a reminder, we have been tracking turkey dinners with myopic (some would say worrying) precision for many years. More than anyone else in Utah. For reference and other ideas, you can see previous entries here: 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014.

Hello, I'm Stuart, nice to meet you! I am the founder, author and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I'm a multi-award-winning journalist who has been writing shortsightedly and in-depth about Salt Lake City's dining scene for nearly seventeen years.

I have worked extensively with several local publications, from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not to mention consulting on national television. Pause the credits, yes, that's me! I've also been a restaurant critic for the Salt Lake Tribune for more than five years. I'm largely driven by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration, and using big words I don't understand. What they say about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don't share his feelings”.
