St. Clair County, Michigan, might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving, but this charming area along the St. Clair River has plenty to offer for the holiday. From mouth-watering buffets to festive runs and beautiful floral arrangements, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this Turkey Day. Let’s dive into the Thanksgiving offerings that’ll make your holiday in St. Clair County one to remember.
Feast Like Royalty at River Crab
If you want to skip the kitchen chaos this year, head to the River Crab Restaurant for their Thanksgiving Buffet. On Thursday, November 28, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, you can stuff yourself silly with a spread that would make even the pickiest eater weak at the knees.
For $52 per adult and $29 for children under 12, you’ll get access to a buffet that’s more packed than your uncle’s plate after his third helping. We’re talking carved turkey, roast beef, and pit-smoked ham. But wait, there’s more! They also serve roasted salmon dijon because nothing says “Thanksgiving” like a fish swimming upstream to spawn.
The sides are equally impressive, with classics like mashed potatoes and gravy, house-made stuffing, and cranberry sauce. But they’ve also thrown in some curve balls like spaghetti squash and island-run sweet potato mash. And let’s not forget the peel-and-eat shrimp because, apparently, the pilgrims were big fans of seafood.
For dessert, you’ve got your pick of pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie, apple dumplings, and key lime squares. It’s like they couldn’t decide which pie to serve, so they just said, “Eh, let’s do ’em all!”
Run Off That Turkey at Natalie’s Thanksgiving Run
Feeling guilty about that extra slice of pie? No worries! You can join Natalie’s Thanksgiving Run on Saturday, November 30, 2024. This event is perfect for those who want to burn off some calories or just need an excuse to get away from their in-laws for a few hours.
While we don’t have the exact location or details, we can assume it’ll be somewhere in St. Clair County. Just look for a group of people in turkey hats huffing and puffing down the street. You can’t miss ’em!
Deck the Halls With Thanksgiving Flowers
Nothing says “I’m thankful for you” quite like a beautiful floral arrangement. Unless it’s a new car, but flowers are probably more in your budget. Silk’s Flower Shop in St. Clair has got you covered with their Thanksgiving floral offerings.
While we don’t have specifics on their Thanksgiving arrangements, we can imagine they’ll have plenty of fall-themed bouquets featuring warm oranges, deep reds, and rich yellows. These bouquets are perfect for your Thanksgiving table centerpiece or as a gift for your host (because showing up empty-handed is a turkey move).
DeRos Delicacies: Because Flowers Are Delicious… Wait, What?
We don’t have much information on DeRos Delicacies, but with a name like that, we can only assume they offer some sort of Thanksgiving-themed treats. Maybe they’ve got turkey-shaped cookies or pumpkin pie-flavored… something. Your guess is as good as ours!
Celebrate in Style at the St. Clair Inn
If you’re looking for a Thanksgiving experience that’s a bit more upscale, look no further than the St. Clair Inn. On Thursday, November 28, 2024, they’re hosting a wonderful buffet experience that’s perfect for gathering with family and friends.
To reserve your table and ensure you don’t miss out on this culinary extravaganza, give them a call at (810) 289-6209. Just remember to wear your fancy elastic-waist pants – you’re going to need them.
So there you have it, folks! A Thanksgiving guide to St. Clair County that’s sure to leave you stuffed, slightly out of breath, and surrounded by flowers. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, these options will help you celebrate Turkey Day in style. Just remember to wear your stretchy pants and maybe bring a pair of running shoes. You know, just in case.
