Scotty’s on the Strand: Swing by Scotty’s on the Strand for an affordable laid-back, old school Thanksgiving dinner. Like it’s name suggests, Scotty’s is located on the strand in Hermosa Beach, just south of the pier with views that never get old.

The Kettle: What doesn’t the Kettle do? Not only is the Kettle open 24 hours a day, but it is also open on Thanksgiving Day! The Kettle would be a good option for groups of people with different meal preferences because their full menu will be available on Thanksgiving Day in addition to a Thanksgiving menu. The Turkey day menu includes all the usuals – dark or white meat turkey, yams, whipped potatoes, brussel sprouts, and a choice of pumpkin or pecan pie all for $20.50. The Kettle does not take reservations.
