Thanksgiving Restaurants & Holiday Events

IMG_2745 photoshoppedThanksgiving is just two weeks away and the Christmas season around the corner. If you will be taking a break from shopping Gulf Coast real estate for sale to celebrate, be sure to check out these wonderful events along the beach!

First up, we have Thanksgiving. If you have just recently moved to the area or sold your home in Alabama or Florida, the idea of cooking may seem daunting. Skip it this year and enjoy a delicious meal cooked and cleaned up by someone else!

Restaurants open near your home in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach include Gilbey’s Seafood and Steak, as well as the Ginny Lane Bar at The Wharf. If you live in Perdido Key, try the Flora-Bama’s annual potluck. Or, for something a little more traditional, the Perdido Key Beach Resort. In Pensacola, head downtown to Jackson’s Steakhouse or the Fish House.

After the Turkey has been cleaned away, stick around a few days to watch the beaches light up for the holidays! Orange Beach will host their annual tree lighting on December 1, 2015, while Gulf Shores will get into the holiday spirit with the town parade on December 4, 2015.

Restaurants Open on Gulf Coast for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Will you be spending your Thanksgiving on a Gulf Coast vacation with Pointe South? Or, perhaps you don’t feel up to hosting the family after just moving to the Gulf Coast. Either way, we have some good news.

Because holiday visitors are common on the coast, many local restaurants open their doors and serve traditional Thanksgiving meals. And, usually, all you need to do to attend is make a reservation. How easy is that? And, no cleaning your kitchen afterward!

Restaurants that will be open in the Pensacola and Perdido Key area include The Fish House and Jackson’s Steakhouse. You will find all your traditional favorites and even a few yummy additions on their menus. The Flora-Bama, located on the State line between Perdido Key and Orange Beach, will also be hosting a potluck. Just bring your favorite side item and the meats are provided by them.

In Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, you will find many restaurants open including Fisher’s at Orange Beach Marina and Bahama Bob’s Beachside Cafe. No matter how you are planning to spend your Thanksgiving, we hope you enjoy a wonderful day!

Thanksgiving at the Beach

Thanksgiving is an absolutely wonderful time of year to spend at the beach. The weather is nice and, well, it’s the beach! And, while you could certainly prepare all your holiday favorites in the fully equipped kitchens of our rentals, it’s also a great opportunity to try something a little different!

You may be wondering if there are any open restaurants in Pensacola, Perdido Key or Orange Beach that will be serving Thanksgiving dinner. The answer? Yes! And, some fabulous ones, at that. If you are staying in a Pensacola Beach vacation rental, venture into Pensacola to try the amazing creations served up by The Fish House. While something called ‘grits a ya ya’ may not traditionally appear on your holiday table, we know you will love them, along with the turkey, dressing, green bean casserole and much more. They will open from 11AM to 5PM and reservations are recommended.

In Perdido Key, head over to the annual buffet at the Perdido Key Beach Resort or cook up your favorite dish and head over to the Flora-Bama Lounge potluck. There will also be many area restaurants in Orange Beach serving Thanksgiving dinner. No matter what or where you choose to eat, we hope you have a wonderful turkey day!
