Reader Requests: where to eat on Thanksgiving?

Time for a Thanksgiving version of the Reader Requests feature – some of you want to let someone else do the Thanksgiving cooking and clean up for you and want to know where to go out to eat for Thanksgiving dinner in Colorado Springs.

Alice asked this via Facebook:

We are trying to go out for Thanksgiving dinner. We want to go out to a buffet (there are 5 of us, 3 which are teenagers). Country Buffet is $13.20 for each and we have $50.00 to spend. HELP! Any suggestions?

And, Ann said:

I am wondering what restaurants offer good Thanksgiving dinners.  I know La Petite Maison has a $25 3 course and Briarhurst Manor has a $29 buffet, but want to explore all my options!

Got any suggestions for Alice and Ann?  Please help them out by leaving a comment with any information on restaurants serving Thanksgiving dinner in Colorado Springs.

By the way, as a former restaurant server who has worked on Thanksgiving, let me encourage you to tip your server well on Thanksgiving, even if it’s a buffet!  They’re serving you dinner so that you don’t have to cook and clean up, and are likely missing out on family celebrations of their own to serve you.

To get us started, here’s a few of the restaurants in Colorado Springs that are serving Thanksgiving dinner. Definitely call ahead to confirm hours and what menu they’ll be offering – many require reservations as well!
