What’s better than a Thanksgiving table full of your favorite foods?
How about a Thanksgiving table full of your favorite foods that required you to do zero preparation or dishes?
At Rosen Plaza, our talented chefs and culinary team have put together a Thanksgiving buffet menu that honors traditional dishes and introduces exciting new flavors to the holiday spread.
Here’s a preview of what you can expect from the 2025 Thanksgiving Buffet at Rosen Plaza.
Key Takeaways
Delicious Appetizers, Soups, and Salads
Begin your meal with a warm, hearty soup that’s as comforting as it is tasty. This year, we’ll be serving a rustic yet refined roasted butternut squash soup with garlic kale, as well as a creamy Minnesota wild rice soup packed with flavorful and nutritious veggies.
Help yourself to salads that exude fall, like a blissful Thanksgiving stuffing salad filled with heartwarming holiday flavors or a savory German potato salad loaded with tender potatoes and chunky cuts of bacon. A zesty, flavor-packed Mediterranean farro salad is a unique addition to a Thanksgiving feast.
If you prefer to start your Thanksgiving dinner grazing and nibbling, you’ll love our delicious (and visually stunning) spread of fresh fruit, impressive domestic and international cheeses, a colorful antipasto display, and our signature fluffy dinner rolls.
Signature Entrees and Unforgettable Sides
This year, expand your horizon beyond turkey and indulge in one of Rosen Plaza’s innovative entrees. Try a tender grilled salmon with a sweet maple glaze and crispy fried leeks for an entree bursting with flavor. Our juicy cabernet steak tips will have you wondering how poultry ever was designated king of the Thanksgiving table.
Still, we know it wouldn’t feel like Thanksgiving without turkey, so our chefs have reimagined the dull, dry birds of yesteryear. Instead, you’ll be able to enjoy juicy sliced turkey thighs topped with a rich roasted shallot gravy, or a pumpkin seed pesto-crusted turkey breast with an oniony soubise sauce from our carving station.
Pair your entrees with traditional Thanksgiving sides like a delicious soft pretzel Thanksgiving stuffing, creamy brown butter mashed potatoes, and an orange-dijon haricot vert with crunches of crispy shallots.
Special Stations
The deliciousness doesn’t stop with entrees and sides.
Our Thanksgiving buffet will also include a Seafood Station serving up specialties like New Zealand mussels and oysters, fresh peel-and-eat shrimp, and a variety of homemade cocktail and remoulade sauces for an extra pop of flavor.
Pasta lovers will want to visit our make-your-own-pasta station for a customizable pasta dish worthy of a Thanksgiving table. Choose from curly cavatappi, pillowy gnocchi, or tasty cheese tortellini and top it with a smooth marinara, creamy alfredo, or zesty vodka sauce.
Then, mix in your favorite pasta toppings to take your dish to the next level. Condiments like onions, mushrooms, green peas, spinach, shrimp, pancetta, and chicken, which you can add to your dish, add deeper layers of taste and personalization.
Kids with picky palates will appreciate our kid’s buffet, which will be fully stocked with favorites like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chicken tenders, smiley potato fries, and mac & cheese.
Divine Desserts
It wouldn’t feel like Thanksgiving without a variety of classic desserts; luckily, you’ll find them all at the Rosen Plaza Thanksgiving buffet.
We’ll have scrumptious pumpkin, pecan, and apple pies that embody the harvest flavors of fall. Try them topped with some soft serve ice cream for pie a la mode.
There will also be decadent chocolate cake, a creamy white chocolate-cranberry cheesecake, and a smooth goat cheese cheesecake with a spiced wafter crust for a more unconventional approach to Thanksgiving dessert.
Finish your meal with a cup of hot coffee or tea as you digest and take a moment to reflect on what you’re grateful for this year.
