Which Manzanita restaurants around Manzanita and the north Oregon Coast are open for your Thanksgiving lunch or dinner?
Manzanita Restaurants Open For Thanksgiving 2018
Okay, here at Manzanita Beach Life, we’re a little biased about our Manzanita restaurants!
Most restaurants in the Manzanita Beach community are closed for the holiday.
One alternative is ordering a take out Thanksgiving Dinner. For a traditional dinner, try Manzanita Grocery & Deli, The Little Apple, our Manzanita grocery store, open 7:00 am – 3:00 pm Thanksgiving Day. For Thanksgiving 2018, at around $179 (less if you order early), your take out dinner will include a 12 – 14# Roasted Turkey with Dressing, 1.5 qt. Mashed Potatoes, 1.5 qt. Turkey Gravy, 1.5 pt. Cranberry Sauce, and 1 pt. Vegetables. Call (503) 368-5362 to find out details for Thanksgiving 2019 and to reserve your dinner.
Also available are extras for purchase by the pint or quart are Mashed Potatoes, Turkey Gravy, Dinner Rolls, Turkey Dressing, Fresh Cranberry Sauce, Chutney, and Corn.
You’ll also find delicious Apple, Pumpkin and Marion Berry Pies.
We typically order a couple wonderful salmon fillets, and smoke them, for our annual Beach Thanksgiving fish!
Take out dinner is a good option for those that don’t want to cook during their Manzanita Thanksgiving celebration. We traditionally stay at one of our Manzanita rentals and enjoy family and friends while dining next to Manzanita Beach views of the sparkling Pacific Ocean.
One benefit of ordering a Thanksgiving Dinner at Manzanita Grocery & Deli is supporting a very important business in the Manzanita Beach Community!

Did you hear about the helping hand Manzanita Grocery & Deli offered to those affected by the recent Manzanita Tornado, responders, and people helping with the clean-up effort? They were at the forefront of care and giving in the community (see the note, above, posted on the Manzanita Grocery & Deli door during the aftermath).
Sisters & Petes Coffee and Treats is taking pie pre-orders at their Manzanita bakery (have you tried their pies – delish!) for two sizes of pies: prices for Thanksgiving 2018 were $19.00 for a pie that serves 6 -8, or $6.00 for individual pies. All their regular pies will be available, and they’ll also take special requests.
And if you're looking for Manzanita Beach coffee shops open for your beach Thanksgiving, this is your lucky day!
Pre-order for pickup the next day, or take your chances and stop by on Thanksgiving day, to pick up you pie and wish the kind pie makers a very Happy Manzanita Thanksgiving! 503-368-7437
The Bunkhouse. Between Manzanita Beach and Nehalem, you’ll find The Bunkhouse. They’re open for your beach Thanksgiving breakfast on November 24th, then closed from 2:00 – 3:00 pm to prepare for their special beach Thanksgiving dinner, served from 3:00 – 8:00 pm, including scrumptious prime rib.
And hey - another Manzanita Beach coffee shop open on Thanksgiving day! 503-368-5424
Mohler and Nehalem Restaurants Open For Thanksgiving 2018
Kendra's River Inn Food and Lodging. NOTE: For 2018 Kendra's is Closed for Thanksgiving Dinner. We're hoping they will be open again for Thanksgiving 2019!
Manzanita Beach is part of the very charming three village area of Manzanita Beach, Nehalem and Wheeler. Bisecting our area is the picturesque Nehalem River. And perched over the river in the tiny hamlet of Mohler is Kendra’s River Inn Food & Lodging.

Formerly the Nehalem River Inn, Kendra’s River Inn Food & Lodging is the new home of Kendra Hall, formerly of the well-known Tillamook restaurant Kendra’s Kitchen. Kendra took over the former Nehalem River Inn in early 2016, and is joined by daughter Galena and son Ben, a recent graduate of the Oregon Culinary Institute.
For your Thanksgiving dinner, what could be better than dinner in a serene, scenic setting such as Kendra’s River Inn, Thanksgiving dinner plates filled with wonderful food?
