No Time for a Homemade Meal This Thanksgiving? Try One of the Local Eateries

Maybe you're skipping the family drama this year or maybe you've got a full house and you burned the bird beyond repair. Whatever the reason, if you're looking to eat out on Thanksgiving, you've got a few top-notch options in the Norristown area.

Check out one of these restaurants if you're out and about today:

Taqueria La Michoacana, 301 E Main Street; 610-292-1971

The premier Mexican restaurant for discerning tastes in and around the Norristown area, Taqueria La Michoacana will be serving up exquiste cuisine from South of the Border from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. I recommend the Fajitas Michoacan ($15) and a frozen margarita.

Minado, 2917 W Germantown Pike; 610-277-7375

If Mexican's not your thing, why not go East and take advantage of the sushi and other asian delights at Minado. They'll be open from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and 5:30 to 9 p.m. for dinner.

Ray's Diner, 14 E Germantown Pike; 610-279-3555

Want to stick to more traditional fare this Thanksgiving? Ray's Diner will be open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and they're bound to have a traditional turkey platter that'll satisfy your nostalgic cravings.

Steppy's Sports Bar & Grille, 2912 Swede Road; 610-272-6547

Want a little more than just dinner? Steppy's at will be open from 6 p.m. on. After you fill up on food and drink, you can hit the lanes for a few frames just like our forefathers before us. Didn't realize bowling was a traditional Thanksgiving pastime? Why do you think you get a turkey when you get three strikes in a row?

Whatever you plan to do this Thanksgiving, be safe, be thankful and be informed by following Norristown Patch.
