Feast Mode: Where to Eat (and What to Order) This Thanksgiving Weekend

At Ocean Casino Resort, we believe your Thanksgiving weekend should be one thing: indulgent. Whether you’re skipping the stress of cooking or simply in it for the pies (no judgment), our restaurants are ready to serve up your perfect plate—no oven mitts required.

From chef-driven twists on the classics to over-the-top brunch bites, we’ve got three restaurants dishing out Thanksgiving dinner in Atlantic City the right way: with flavor, flair, and zero cleanup. Here’s where to feast, what to order, and how to spend the long weekend like a true pro.

For an Elevated Tradition: Ocean Steak

If you're a "turkey, but make it five-star" type, head straight to Ocean Steak for a refined take on holiday favorites. This prix fixe-style lineup leans into luxury while still bringing all the nostalgic flavors you crave.

What to Order:

• Butternut Squash Soup with cranberry marshmallow and walnuts—creamy, rich, and unexpectedly addictive
• Roast Turkey Dinner with free-range turkey, sausage stuffing, sweet potatoes, and just enough cranberry sauce to make you feel like you tried
• Pumpkin Pie or Apple Pie—why choose?

Whether you're dining before a show or pairing your feast with a bottle from the steakhouse’s exceptional wine list, this is your go-to for a grown-up Thanksgiving—book your table.

For Cozy Comfort: Harper’s

Want something a little more brunchy, a little more bold? Harper’s delivers seasonal comfort food with a twist—ideal for post-shopping fuel-ups, cozy meetups, or that "day after" recovery meal.

What to Order:

• Pumpkin Cheesecake Stuffed Spice Muffin with streusel topping—it’s dessert disguised as breakfast, and it totally counts
• Harvest Hash with turkey, diced potatoes, poached eggs, shaved Brussels sprouts, hollandaise, and cranberry sauce—it’s basically Thanksgiving in a skillet, and yes, it slaps

Pro tip: pair with a seasonal cocktail and take your time. You're on long-weekend time now.

For a Holiday Fiesta: Amada

Looking to spice things up? Amada by José Garces is serving a Thanksgiving weekend menu with Spanish flair, rich ingredients, and just enough traditional grounding to keep the purists happy.
What to Order:

• Judías Verdes – green beans with almond dukka and bacon that could convert even the casserole crowd
• Pastel Pavo – a rustic turkey pot pie with English peas, parsnip, and white beans, swimming in a vermouth-infused sauce
• Gallina de Cornualles – a Cornish game hen with chorizo & black currant stuffing that eats like royalty

This is your chance to break tradition—deliciously. Get a table (while you still can).

Make It a Long Weekend to Remember

Thanksgiving isn’t just about the meal—it’s the ultimate excuse to indulge all weekend long. After the last bite, treat yourself to a spa day at Exhale Spa + Bathhouse, catch live entertainment on the Ocean events calendar, or retreat to your suite for a post-feast nap worthy of a holiday Hall of Fame.

And yes—stay at Ocean and let us handle the rest.
