These chain restaurants serve roasted turkey carved fresh for diners.
Although it’s hard to find some tableside carved options nowadays, there are plenty of opportunities to see your turkey carved right in front of you in various dining situations or buffets. Knowing that the turkey is freshly cooked, roasted, and made with love, makes it taste that much better, and watching it carved in front of you is part of the experience. Here are five chain restaurants where the turkey is basically carved table side, but at least right in front of you.
