A dessert station overflowing with homemade pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and red velvet cake caps off the meal. ## Similar picks in Chicago - [The Palmer House Hilton Grand Thanksgiving Feast (Downtown Chicago)](https://grassyknees.com/chicago/activities/the-palmer-house-hilton-grand-thanksgiving-feast-downtown-chicago--listing-c8e7c93c6c04a39031c33267) — Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 2026; seatings from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM · The Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel (Lockwood Restaurant) · All ages · From $45 · checked Nov 4.
