Nearby: Deerfield, ILSkip the cooking with local dine-in options, or order a holiday meal to serve at home. Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 26. DEERFIELD, IL — Many independent restaurants around the Chicago area will be closed Thursday, Nov. 26, for Thanksgiving. But some local and regional favorites are taking reservations, giving Deerfield residents a chance to gather around a different table this year. The appeal isn't hard to understand. Hosting Thanksgiving can mean days of shopping and preparation for a meal that disappears remarkably fast. Dining out leaves more time for visiting, with no refrigerator puzzle to solve afterward. It also makes room for a holiday that doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people are celebrating with a partner or a few friends. Others are meeting family halfway, traveling over the holiday or simply ready to retire the roasting pan for a year. Find out what's happening in Deerfieldfor free with the latest updates from Patch.
