A Pre-Holiday Feast: Why Thanksgiving Should Last All Month

It starts with a familiar aroma—the kind that makes you pause at the doorway and smile. You’re greeted by the comforting scent of roasted turkey and warm stuffing, the same flavors that have marked family gatherings for generations. At Shady Maple Smorgasbord, that feeling isn’t reserved for just one day a year. All November long, we’re bringing the heart of Thanksgiving to your table.

Who says Thanksgiving dinner has to be a one-day affair? We believe the flavors of the season deserve more than just a cameo on the last Thursday of November. That’s why, all month long, we’re serving up the dishes that make Thanksgiving unforgettable—so you can savor the holiday spirit whenever you like.

 

Picture Perfect Plate

Picture this: a plate piled high with tender, carved turkey, creamy mashed potatoes, and our signature stuffing. Add golden corn and a drizzle of rich gravy, and you’ve got yourself a “practice run” for the big day. It’s the perfect way to get into the holiday mood without waiting for the calendar to catch up.
Thanksgiving isn’t just about the food—it’s about thankfulness, family, and being together. Whether you’re gathering with loved ones or treating yourself to a quiet moment of comfort, our smorgasbord is here to make every visit feel like a celebration.
And while we’re closed on Thanksgiving Day, you don’t have to miss out. Our holiday favorites are available for take-out, so you can bring the warmth of Shady Maple to your own table.
