Flames Thanksgiving Dinner at a Calgary restaurant

We have been toying for the first time to go out for a restaurant Thanksgiving dinner. Trying to get away from all the family drama and crap and fights that go on so wife and I would like to try for a restaurant type on our own. Anyone have any good suggestions or ideas. I have heard of the Westin, Blackfoot and Carriage House from a few people but thought maybe some of you on the board can help us out.

I should preface this by saying that I normally really like Sunterra's food, but I was pretty underwhelmed by the Sunterra pre-made dinners last year, at least for Christmas.

A person would be better off getting a roast chicken from a grocery store and making some Stovetop Stuffing and mashed potatoes for the amount of money that you would spend on a couple of those.

Do a 'Bachelor's Thanksgiving.'

Beer and chicken wings at your favourite pub. Plus theres usually a hockey game on TV.

Steels Cafe is having a Thanksgiving Dinner Buffet. They're in the Executive Royal Inn in the NE, just off Barlow (scroll to the bottom of the link for the address). We went there for Easter brunch and it was excellent.

This isn't exactly what most people would call a romantic dinner, but I like going to Blackfoot Truck Stop Diner on holidays. They have a daily special that often aligns with the holiday. So, I expect that at least one of the dinner specials will be turkey on the weekend. And they load it up. The special comes with soup, homemade bread, coffee and dessert of the day for about $15. The main course usually comes with potatoes, gravy, a hot veggie and cole slaw. The dessert of the day is usually simple. I suspect this weekend it will be pumpkin pie square. If you want more than just a taste, they have amazing pies. If you are looking for turkey specifically, give them a call to see what they are serving each day. I suspect it will only be turkey for at least one day of the weekend.

If you go for supper they often run out of the homemade bread by then and just give you a mediocre bun. So, I prefer going there for lunch.
