Thanksgiving Menu 2009 Posted
Posted by admin in Holidays on 09 15th, 2009| | No Comments »

turkeysYes, we know, Thanksgiving isn’t for another couple of months.  Just be glad we aren’t doing like the department stores and breaking out the Christmas Holiday decorations already.  It’s perhaps a bit early for most of us to start planning our Thanksgiving Dinner already, but it’s never too early to think about eating at Crumpets Restaurant and Bakery in San Antonio, Texas.    We’ve kept the prices on this special menu the same, amazingly enough we were able to maintain the quality and quantity without raising our prices for this special holiday.  Guess the recent drops in fuel costs has started helping costs in other areas.

Visit our website to see our special menu for Thanksgiving Day. We serve from 11am-4pm only, closed for dinner hours so that our employees may spend the rest of the day with their families.

One of the good (and bad) things about the Internet, is the ability to express your opinion about restaurants, what you liked, or didn’t like about them.  Fortunately for us, most of our patrons like what we do, and we strive very, very hard to make everyone want to return for another visit.
