OT, What is a good restaurant to eat Thanksgiving Meal at in Columbia?

[Gradstudent]

My mom is getting older we are still coming to Columbia so she doesn't travel, but she doesn't want to cook or clean up, any suggestions for a good restaurant for a Thanksgiving meal out on Thursday?

My family had Thanksgiving dinner at a nice hotel one year. The food was great.

Are you serious?
Decent chow, but can they compete with the other guys?

A great big "yes" from me.

Lizards Thicket is just about my favorite thing about Columbia.

We did Lizard's Thicket last year because no one had time to cook. It was good and easy.

Lizards Thicket on 378 is the best one in my opinion. Avoid the one out by the airport.

I agree with that pretty much. But the one in Blythewood and the one on Elmwood Ave in uptown Columbia are both pretty dang good as well!!
