Thanksgiving Dinner Restaurants Long Island 2026

Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26, 2026, and the North Shore offers two broad ways to handle it: a reserved table at a restaurant in Stony Brook or Cold Spring Harbor, or a pre-ordered meal collected in Smithtown, Huntington Station and Port Jefferson Station. The listings below come from each business’s own 2026 pages, and the order deadlines arrive sooner than most calendars suggest, with the earliest falling on Thursday, November 19.

Thanksgiving Dinner in Stony Brook: Mirabelle Tavern

The Thanksgiving Day Grand Buffet at Mirabelle Restaurant & Tavern, at the Three Village Inn, runs on Thursday, November 26, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the Lessing’s Hospitality Group listing for the venue. Adults pay $85, children 8 and under pay $37, and reservations are required. The address is 150 Main Street, Stony Brook, and the restaurant’s own website gives (631) 751-0555 as its phone number and links to an OpenTable page for booking.

An all-day window of eight hours makes the buffet unusually flexible for a holiday meal. Families with young children can book near opening, while those travelling in from elsewhere on Long Island can arrive in the late afternoon. The listing points to a separate menu link rather than spelling out the dishes, so the specific items are best confirmed with the restaurant at the time of booking.

Thanksgiving Dinner in Cold Spring Harbor: Sandbar

Sandbar, at 55 Main Street in Cold Spring Harbor, takes a different approach with a three-course prix fixe at $85 per person, plus tax and gratuity, served from noon to 8 p.m. on Thursday, November 26. Reservations are available through OpenTable or by calling 631.498.6188.

The posted menu lets each diner choose one item per course. Appetizers include butternut squash soup, a sweet harvest salad, shrimp cocktail, jumbo lump crab cakes, spicy tuna crispy rice, duck tacos and chickpea fries. Entrées run from the Sandbar turkey dinner to maple glazed salmon, spicy lobster pasta, braised short rib of beef, sesame yellowfin tuna and chicken Milanese, while a New York strip steak frites carries a $10 supplement. Desserts are pecan pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate lava cake, or a milk and cookie pairing.

Because every course offers a choice, a table split between traditionalists and seafood lovers can order from a single menu. A menu that places a turkey dinner next to lobster pasta suits that kind of group.

Thanksgiving in Port Jefferson

Port Jefferson Country Club, at 44 Fairway Drive, lists a Thanksgiving event on its website under the date Thursday, November 26, with a link to a details page. The listing as published carries no price, hours or menu, and the club’s phone number is 631-473-1440, which is the practical route to those specifics.

For a meal to bring home, Uncle Giuseppe’s runs a Port Jefferson Station store at 1108 Route 112, with the phone number (631) 331-1706. The company’s 2026 Thanksgiving catering page covers Long Island’s Nassau and Suffolk counties, and the details appear in the takeout section below.

Thanksgiving Takeout and Pre-Orders in Smithtown

Elegant Eating, at 739 Smithtown Bypass (Route 347), posts the most complete 2026 Thanksgiving order sheet found for the North Shore. The deadline is firm: orders must come in “definitely by Thursday – November 19, 2026,” and the page adds that no new orders or changes are accepted after that date. Pickup windows are Wednesday, November 25, from noon to 4 p.m., and Thursday, November 26, from 10 a.m. to noon. Orders go through (631) 360-2211.

The family dinner packages come in two sizes. One serves eight for $415 and the other serves four, built around a half turkey, for $245. Each includes a choice of herb-roasted turkey with homemade gravy or a honey-baked spiral ham, plus savory herb stuffing, rosemary roasted Yukon Gold potatoes, garlic green beans, honey-glazed carrots, triple berry cranberry sauce, cheese pull-aparts and a choice of apple or pumpkin pie. The page notes that the packages allow no substitutions.

Add-ons fill out the rest of a table. Sides in a medium pan that serves eight to ten include an eggplant strata with hot honey and pistachios at $54.60, sweet potato casserole with toasted marshmallows at $37.56, macaroni and cheese at $41.41, roasted root vegetables at $36.85 and wild rice pilaf with dried cranberries at $37.56. An autumn bisque costs $20.49 per quart, and braised boneless short ribs cost $44.17 per pound. Hors d’oeuvres, priced by the dozen, range from spanakopita at $26.83 to coconut shrimp at $44.39, and desserts include apple pie at $30.58, pumpkin pie at $28.39 and molten chocolate bites at $38.21 per dozen. The page states that prices can change with market conditions.

Uncle Giuseppe’s has a Smithtown store too, at 95 Route 111, phone (631) 863-0900.

Uncle Giuseppe’s Thanksgiving Catering Across Suffolk

The company’s holiday page states “Order your 2026 Thanksgiving catering by November 21.” Pickup and delivery both take place on November 25 and 26, and customers choose a delivery window when ordering. Packages are sized for up to 7, 14 or 21 people, and a build-your-own à la carte option is available.

The menu leans Italian-American around a traditional core. Whole roasted turkey or sliced turkey breast with gravy sits beside three stuffings, namely traditional, apple cornbread, and sausage and chestnut. Pasta dishes include baked ziti, penne vodka and pumpkin ravioli, while roasted Brussels sprouts, hot honey carrots, mashed and sweet potatoes and candied yams round out the sides. For dessert, the page lists pumpkin and apple pies, cheesecakes and Italian cookies, and appetizers include antipasto, shrimp cocktail and stuffed mushrooms. Prices are not posted on the holiday page, so the ordering page or the nearest store supplies those figures.

Thanksgiving Catering in Huntington Station: Corinne’s Concepts in Catering

Corinne’s Concepts in Catering, an off-premise caterer on Long Island since 1982, operates from 845 East Jericho Turnpike in Huntington Station. Its holiday menu page describes a Thanksgiving spread of baked brie en croute, butternut squash soup, a mesclun salad with caramelized nuts, cranberries and gorgonzola, artisan rolls, roast turkey with stuffing and giblet gravy, honey-glazed carrots, sweet potato pie and apple crumb pie. A linked 2026 menu PDF carries the full details.

The caterer also offers a promotion: a free one-pound container of its spinach dip with an order of $100 or more, provided the offer is mentioned when ordering. The page does not state an order deadline, so a call to 631.351.6030 is the way to settle dates and pricing. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and it is closed Mondays.
