Area eateries offer a Thanksgiving meal!

As of this post, Thanksgiving was just ten days away! So, on Thursday, November 26 many folks will be sitting down to reflect. Traditionally, that means a table full of all sorts of wondrous food. Thanksgiving is a time to feast and to reflect on the good fortune we all enjoy in the land of the free. However, for many reasons, not all of us have the opportunity or the time to go to all the fuss and bother of creating a multi course meal for ourselves or our loved ones! Thankfully, (for those of us who live in the small town of Forsyth Missouri), there are some really great alternatives!

A few Forsyth area restaurants will be open to help make your Thanksgiving the best it can be!  In this post, I'd like to mention a few that I'm aware of:

Charlie's Steak, Ribs and Ale - A very popular and upscale eatery that features a full service bar and plenty of seating space. Charlie's is offering a special Thanksgiving plate that will include; turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, stuffing and a roll! I'm assuming that there will also be plenty of gravy and butter to go with this wonderful feast! The cost is only $9.99  a plate and this  wonderful meal is being offered from 11AM to close (8PM). For those who want to enjoy a good breakfast, Charlie's will be open at 7AM! Charlie's is located at 139 Hwy Y in Forsyth and they can be reached at (417) 546-2011 for inquiries.

Frosted Mug

The Frosted Mug - A venerable location located on Hwy 160 will also offer a Thanksgiving meal experience that has become a Forsyth tradition over decades! The Mug is a down home dining eatery that features a full service bar and great food. I understand they have a great Thanksgiving meal, but currently have no idea (417) 546-4149.

The Longhorn Family Dining

how much it will cost. They can be reached at

The Longhorn - I eaten at the Longhorn over many years and have never been disappointed with the food or the clientele. This venue is a Forsyth favorite with fast service and great tasting food hallmarks! The eatery is located at 16039 US Hwy160 and can be reached at (417) 546-9751. I've been told they have a great meal for $9.99! Call them for the hours this meal will be available.

These kind folks who are giving up their Holiday in order to serve you, are very special people. Please make sure and tip them to the best of your ability!

Longhorn Restaurant in Forsyth MO was enjoyable!

Forsyth MO – Eating at the Longhorn Restaurant is normally a rather pleasant affair. This burger joint, located in Forsyth Missouri on the main drag, is always clean with great tasting food offered from a surprisingly varied menu. And, I would have enjoyed myself, on this particular visit, were it not for my obnoxious friend in the persona of Daniel 'da gut' D.

Old Daniel was definitely someone that wasn't cut from the common mold of mankind. No, if you could imagine a bell curve of humanity, with dull normal being some where's in the middle, old Daniel was off to one edge or the other. And, while this meant that he was a bit strange, he could also eat like the dickens!

Salad Bar was fresh and inviting!

On the occasion of this luncheon, I ordered the Country Burger Deluxe (only it was spelled with a K), a combo including a hamburger, French fries and all the fixings. Daniel, being of slow wit, also ordered the exact same thing. I was actually thankful that he did order a hamburger as opposed to a large plate of spaghetti! Watching that human garbage disposal fling noodles and sauce around would have been too much for me to bear.

After a short time, our server, a man by the name of Rex brought out our meals. (Rex is on the tall side and I therefore remembered his name as T-Rex). As I daintily assembled my hamburger with the finesse of an educated man, my 'Neanderthal friend' across the table, quickly demolished his food to the point that it resembled the scene of some horrific accident. Bits of food were hurled out in a circle all across the table as he devoured everything in much the way a hungry dog might eat. As I carefully nibbled at my burger, I forced myself to remember that he was buying. 

Yet all, in all, this Longhorn was an enjoyable eating experience!
