Gathering at Thanksgiving with those we hold dear is a time-honored tradition. Many families and friends return to Mission Inn Resort each year to make the bountiful Thanksgiving Grand Brunch Buffet part of their tradition. We hope you will, too.

Spend quality time relaxing with those close to you and recounting all you have to be thankful for while our skilled culinary staff does the cooking. Tuck into an abundance of delicious selections available at the buffet from traditional roasted turkey with all the trimmings to an extensive array of breakfast items, salads, charcuterie, smoked fish and shellfish, side dishes, and desserts.

Step up to the chef’s carving stations for freshly sliced herb-roasted turkey with giblet gravy and garlic- and rosemary-crusted prime rib au jus. There’s also a special stuffing station featuring four types of stuffing, including the longtime guest favorite Mrs. Beucher’s Famous Stuffing!

Save room for dessert! You won’t want to miss Mission Inn’s signature bread pudding with bourbon sauce, bananas foster, and the ice cream sundae station. Traditionalists can gobble up our scrumptious pumpkin and pecan pies. Gluten-free and sugar-free desserts are available on request.

The Thanksgiving Grand Brunch Buffet will be served from 11 am to 5:45 pm on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, in La Hacienda. The cost is $65 per adult and $28 for children ages 5 to 12, plus the automatically added tax and 20 percent service charge. As always, there is no charge for children ages 4 and younger. Adults can toast the holiday with the endless house champagne and mimosas included in the buffet price!  To reserve and prepay the Thanksgiving Grand Brunch Buffet email grandbrunch@missioninnresort.com or call (352) 324-3930.
