Looking for a place to stuff yourself silly this Thanksgiving without the hassle of cooking? Well, butter my biscuits, do I have a treat for you! The St. Clair Inn in St. Clair, Michigan, is serving up a feast that’ll make your stretchy pants work overtime. This shindig is so good that it’s made our Thanksgiving Guide 2024—and trust me, we’re pickier than a toddler at dinnertime.
Where’s the Party At?
The St. Clair Inn isn’t just any old hotel. This place has been around since 1926, sitting pretty on the banks of the St. Clair River. It’s about 50 miles northeast of Detroit, so you can escape the chaos and trade it for small-town charm faster than you can say, “Pass the gravy.”
The Main Event
On Thursday, November 28, 2024, the St. Clair Inn is rolling out the red carpet (or, should I say, the red and orange fall leaves?) for Thanksgiving dinner. They’re offering two seating times: 11 a.m. for the early birds who want to maximize their food coma nap time and 2 p.m. for those who like to sleep in on holidays.
What’s on the Menu?
Hold onto your forks, folks, because this spread is more packed than your uncle’s political opinions at the dinner table. We’re talking:
- Roasted turkey (obviously)
- Honey-glazed ham (for the turkey rebels)
- House-made dressing (fancy talk for stuffing)
- Mashed potatoes and gravy (a match made in heaven)
- Sweet potato casserole (because regular potatoes weren’t enough)
- Mac and cheese (for the kids… and let’s be honest, the adults too)
- Green bean casserole (gotta have something green, right?)
- Asparagus (for the fancy vegetable eaters)
- Cold pasta salad (because why not?)
- House salad (to make you feel better about what’s coming next)
- Cranberry sauce (straight from the can or homemade? You’ll have to find out!)
- Fresh-baked rolls and cornbread (carb lovers, rejoice!)
And that’s just the main course! For dessert, they’re serving up a sweet lineup that’ll make your dentist cry:
- Pumpkin pie (it’s not Thanksgiving without it)
- Cherry pie (for the fruit fans)
- Pecan pie (nuts about nuts?)
- Assorted cookies (because variety is the spice of life)
- Brownies (chocolate is always welcome)
- Pumpkin cake roll (in case you didn’t get enough pumpkin)
The Damage
I know what you’re thinking – this sounds expensive, right? Wrong! It’s a steal at $45 for adults and $20 for kiddos 12 and under. That’s less than you’d spend on ingredients if you cooked at home and way less than therapy after a family cooking disaster.
More Than Just a Meal
The St. Clair Inn isn’t just serving food; they’re dishing out the atmosphere. Picture this: you’re sitting in a historic inn overlooking the St. Clair River, watching freighters glide by as you slip into a food coma. It’s like a Norman Rockwell painting but with better Wi-Fi.
Make It a Staycation
Why not turn your Thanksgiving feast into a mini-vacation? The St. Clair Inn has comfy rooms to sleep off that turkey. Plus, you’ll be right in the heart of St. Clair, ready to hit those Black Friday sales (if you can still move after all that food).
Book It Before It’s Gone
If this sounds like your kind of Thanksgiving, don’t wait! Call the front desk at (810) 289-6209 faster than you can unbutton your pants after dinner. Spots are filling up quicker than grandma’s famous pie disappears.
Remember, this isn’t just dinner; it’s a chance to create new traditions, avoid doing dishes, and eat until you can’t see your shoes. So gather your family, leave your diet at home, and head to the St. Clair Inn this Thanksgiving. It will be a feast to remember – or forget, depending on how much turkey you eat.
