A Taste of Tradition: DeKalb Restaurants Serving Thanksgiving Favorites

When it comes to Thanksgiving, nothing beats the warmth of family, friends, and—of course—amazing food. But sometimes, the best holiday memories aren’t made in the kitchen—they’re made around the table. If you’re looking to enjoy a delicious, home-style Thanksgiving meal without the stress of cooking, DeKalb has some tasty traditions waiting for you.

One local favorite serving up southern comfort with a side of nostalgia is Matthews Cafeteria in Tucker. Known for their legendary fried chicken and cozy, old-school atmosphere, Matthews has been a community staple for generations—and their holiday menu makes it easy to bring that same down-home flavor to your Thanksgiving feast.

This year, Matthews is offering a full lineup of hearty classics that taste just like Grandma’s cooking. Think shredded white-meat turkey with cornbread dressing and rich gravy, Jenna’s Chicken and Rice Casserole, and their award-winning fried chicken—a must-have no matter the season. Complete your meal with sides like macaroni and cheese, sweet potato soufflé, or broccoli casserole, and top it all off with one of their homemade pies or cobblers that could rival any family recipe.

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or keeping things cozy, Matthews Cafeteria has everything you need to make your Thanksgiving deliciously stress-free. You can even order online and pick up your feast fresh and ready to enjoy—no oven required.
