To me, Thanksgiving is a lazy day of football, church service, family and the American number one meal.  Putting together a Thanksgiving dinner is a lot of work and very time-consuming.  Are you looking for a great place to dine out in the St. Cloud area this Thanksgiving?  If so, then you’ll be happy to learn that there are several excellent restaurants in St. Cloud and surrounding area.

I’ve compiled a list of options of several top Thanksgiving buffets.
