McRae’s ready to do holiday cooking

By Melanie Mayfield

As thoughts turn to spending holidays with family and friends, McRae’s American Bistro & Cocktails invites everyone to their table. Enjoy the casual elegance and friendly, attentive service that has made McRae’s a favorite neighborhood restaurant.

Known for award-winning flavor with a comfortable yet upscale style, the Thanksgiving menu features a prix fixe menu ($35/adult and $15/children under 12) that will delight every taste. 

The first course begins with a choice of McRae’s famous Tomato Soup or Granny Smith Salad followed by a tempting and traditional second course of Thanksgiving favorites — roasted turkey breast, cornbread dressing, roasted garlic mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans amandine and house made cranberry sauce. Allow the staff to suggest a wine pairing to accompany the meal.

The Thanksgiving menu offers some of the regular a la carte specialties should diners desire to try something a little less traditional. And, of course, they have several delicious dessert options to bring the holiday dinner to a sweet conclusion.

Whether diners are having an intimate holiday meal for two or celebrating with a larger gathering of family and friends, McRae’s is the perfect backdrop to express gratitude to those who fill life. With limited seating beginning at 10:30 a.m. through 3 p.m., McRae’s strongly suggests making a reservation to ensure a table.

Located at 9913 Garland Road, near White Rock Lake, McRae’s American Bistro & Cocktails has been awarded a 2025 Observer Best of Dallas winner, 2025 Best Chef by Dining Out in Dallas and numerous awards in 2024 including Tastemaker Best New Restaurant.
