Enjoy Thanksgiving at The Machine Shed
Guests who want to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner without preparing the meal themselves can gather at The Machine Shed for a Thanksgiving Day buffet including turkey, carved ham, classic sides like Homemade Mashed Potatoes, Sage Stuffing, Corn Casserole, and more, plus our made from scratch pumpkin pie.
The buffet will be served Thursday, November 26, 10AM-3PM. Pricing is $31.99 for adults and $15.99 for children ages six through twelve. Children five and under eat free.
It’s the perfect way to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal with family and friends while leaving the cooking and cleanup to someone else.
