Not everyone wants to spend Thanksgiving morning wrestling a turkey into the oven.

For Rancho Cucamonga families who would rather leave the cooking and the dishes to someone else, at least three local restaurants have posted plans for Thursday, November 26.

Here is what each one says on its own website, with the details worth knowing before you book.

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Lazy Dog, at 11560 4th St., is serving a three-course Thanksgiving meal for $39 per adult from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Guests pick a soup or salad, an entrée and a dessert.

The traditional choice is a turkey dinner, but the menu also lists pot roast, fish and chips, ginger soy salmon, ribs and a vegetarian rigatoni with winter squash and burrata.

A New York strip steak is available for $10 more.

Dessert is pumpkin caramel cheesecake or banana pudding.

Two things to note: the meal is dine-in only, and the regular menu is not offered that day.

The restaurant says a kids Thanksgiving meal is available, though its website does not list a price.

Reservations are being taken, and the Rancho Cucamonga location's phone number is (909) 987-4131.

King's Fish House

At Victoria Gardens, King's Fish House at 12427 North Mainstreet is offering a special three-course Thanksgiving menu all day on November 26.

The full regular menu will be served alongside it, which helps if someone at the table would rather have seafood than stuffing.

The restaurant's Rancho Cucamonga page links to the holiday menu and a reservation form but does not list a price or holiday hours.

The phone number is (909) 803-1280.

Fogo de Chão

The Brazilian steakhouse at 12240 Foothill Blvd. lists Thanksgiving hours of 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on its location page, with dinner pricing all day.

On a regular Thursday, the same page shows lunch service starting at 11:30 a.m. and dinner at 3 p.m.

The page does not post a Thanksgiving-specific menu or price, so call (909) 384-6934 to confirm details before you go.

Before you book

Lazy Dog and King's Fish House are both taking holiday reservations online, so booking ahead is the safer bet.

Prices listed here do not include tax, tip or drinks.

Hours and menus can change, so confirm directly with the restaurant when you reserve.

This list covers only restaurants whose holiday plans we could confirm on their own websites, and other local spots may also be open.
