A 2022 list of where to dine in Wichita on Thanksgiving — and of where to get meals to go
If you’re planning to have a Wichita restaurant prepare your Thanksgiving feast this year, many are prepared to serve you. But you should also be prepared: Prices are up from last year — in some cases significantly — for local buffets and take-home meals. Of course, food costs are also up for those preparing Thanksgiving dinner themselves at home.
Those who plan to dine out on Thanksgiving Day or get their holiday meals to go, though, can find a list of who’s serving this year below. Note that some take-and-bake options are requiring pre orders by this weekend.
