Time to talk turkey again folks. Specifically, who, where, and what is popping up for the big day at local restaurants this year. The following list comprises all the specials I know about for Thanksgiving 2015 in Utah. This is the most comprehensive list you will find in the state. I guarantee it or your money back.
Before we begin, go ahead and hit that bookmark button in your browser. The following list will grow substantially over the coming weeks. As and when restaurants post their deals and specials, I’ll be updating the collection on a daily basis. My advice: check back often, and reserve as soon as something takes your fancy. Certain restaurants will sell out.
As a reminder, I’ve been tracking turkey dinners in myopic (some might say worryingly so) precision for close to two decades. For reference and further ideas, you can see previous listings here: 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014. The archives go back even longer if you’re truly bored…

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
