Keys Cafe Thanksgiving Dinner Tradition
Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and delicious food. At Keys Cafe, we’ve been keeping this tradition alive and thriving with our special Thanksgiving offerings, which have become a cherished part of the community holiday celebrations.
Every year, Keys Cafe serves over 4,000 Thanksgiving dinners across our locations, a testament to the love and dedication we pour into every meal. Whether you’re dining in or opting for a take-home feast, we’ve got you covered with our famous turkey dinners.
Thanksgiving Dinner Options
1. Family Style To-Go: Planning ahead? Our family-style Thanksgiving dinner for six is perfect for those who want to enjoy a stress-free holiday meal. Priced at $175, this meal is available for pickup either warm or cold, so you can reheat it the day of. This is the ONLY OPTION available for pre-order, and last year we sold out by the 10th of November! To reserve yours, download the order form at the restaurant of choice on keyscafe.com, or call us directly to ensure your order is placed. Either one is fine, but it is much easier for us to ensure your order is placed if you call directly.
2. Dine-In or Takeout: If you prefer to dine with us on Thanksgiving Day, we offer our single turkey dinner for $27.99 at select locations. This includes all the traditional fixings like roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, bread dressing, corn, sweet potatoes, cranberries, bread and butter, and a slice of pumpkin pie. Remember, these meals are first-come, first-served, and we do not take reservations or call-in orders—just come in, place your order, and enjoy. Don’t worry about the stores running out either, we always have enough for everyone!

A Family Tradition
Thanksgiving at Keys Cafe wouldn’t be complete without mentioning our matriarch Barbara, who lovingly prepares a special family Thanksgiving meal every year for the family. After our cafes close, the Keys family gathers to enjoy a dinner made by her, as well as their father, that includes turkey and spaghetti—just in case we’ve seen enough turkey for one day!
We invite you to join the Keys Cafe tradition this Thanksgiving, whether you’re gathering around our tables or your own. From our family to yours, we wish you a joyous holiday filled with warmth, love, and plenty of delicious food.
Don’t forget to secure your Thanksgiving meal with us soon, and thank you for making Keys Cafe a part of your cherished holiday tradition.
