Important Thanksgiving Info

Additional Information

Thanksgiving reservations must be made online and require a credit card to secure your table. The only exceptions are our limited high-top and outdoor tables, which are not available for online booking and must be reserved by calling the restaurant.

Your card is NOT charged when you reserve, does not prepay for any portion of your meal, and is not kept on file to pay for your meal. You will pay for your food and beverages at the restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. Your card is ONLY charged if you cancel after the cancellation deadline and we are unable to fill your seat(s), or if you do not show up for your reservation. Complete cancellation policy details will be provided when booking.

Thank you for understanding. Thanksgiving is one of our busiest days of the year, and we often have families waiting for a table to open up. This policy helps ensure that if plans change, we have enough notice to offer those seats to another family rather than holding a table that will go unused.

Please let us know as soon as possible if your party size changes. Tables are reserved based on your confirmed party size, and we may not be able to accommodate additional guests. If fewer guests will be attending, please update your reservation so we have the opportunity to offer those seats to other families who would like to dine out on Thanksgiving.

If online reservations are full, please keep checking as cancellations do occur. As Thanksgiving approaches, we will also maintain a cancellation waitlist and can contact you if a table becomes available.

We know that's a lot of information, but our goal is simply to make Thanksgiving run as smoothly as possible for everyone. We love being part of your holiday, and we look forward to welcoming you, your family and friends for Thanksgiving at Mean Deans!

Thanksgiving Widows & Singles Communal Table

Holidays can be difficult after losing a spouse, ending a marriage, or simply being new in town without family or friends nearby.

For the past few years, we’ve offered our Widows & Singles Communal Table on major holidays, and it has led to some great conversations and even some lasting friendships.

Our Widows & Singles Communal Table will be back this Thanksgiving at 3pm. If you or someone you know would otherwise be spending the holiday alone, give us a call to have your name added to the table and spend Thanksgiving with friends you haven’t met yet.

Please note, phone reservations are only available for our Widows & Singles Communal Table. All other Thanksgiving reservations must be made through our online reservation system.
