Where to eat in Tampa on Thanksgiving Day

Inside Flor Fina at Hotel Haya

It’s the holiday season and there are so many incredible spots to order up food and visit on Thanksgiving. We love sitting around a table with friends, family, and neighbors, but we mostly prefer that that table is not one in our own home. Some of the top restaurants in the city of Tampa are open on Thanksgiving Day, so you can enjoy a perfect meal with the people you love without the hassle of cooking and/or cleaning. According to OpenTable, there are more than 90 restaurants open in Tampa/Central Florida on Thanksgiving.

If you’re looking for a special a la carte experience with Thanksgiving, we highly recommend Rollin’ Oats in Tampa. They’re proud to offer traditional, gluten-free, and vegan options that can accommodate the whole family and guests. Rollin’ Oats Café also features seasonal smoothies and salads, fitting for different times of the year. You can see the full Thanksgiving menu online. You can place your order at the Rollin’ Oats Cafe at 1021 N Mac Dill Ave.

Sucre Table Holiday Pies

We highly recommend ordering a pie from Sucre Table, too. It’s a world-class bakery, locally owned, in the heart of Tampa.

If you’re gluten-free/vegan HaleLife Bakery makes incredible, allergen-free pies that you can order online.
