At its heart, Thanksgiving is about family, friends, and gratitude. But there’s no denying it’s also a holiday all about food.
No one celebrates the culinary traditions of Thanksgiving quite like Rosen Shingle Creek. Our incredible Thanksgiving buffet, served at Café Osceola, celebrates beloved flavors and integrates them with innovative dishes that will have you reimagining your traditional table.
Plus, guests over the age of 21 can enjoy their Thanksgiving feast with unlimited Champagne and mimosas for a little extra holiday cheer.
Here is a preview of what you can expect from our 2025 Thanksgiving Buffet at Rosen Shingle Creek.
Key Takeaways
Soups, Salads, and Starters
Begin your feast with an array of warm soups, harvest-inspired salads, and skillfully crafted bites to awaken your palate.
Start with an autumnal amuse bouche of cornbread topped with soft brie cheese, apple butter, and soft caramelized pears.
You’ll find other fall flavors in a variety of market salads that feature fresh, seasonal ingredients like the colorful roasted beet salad with a spicy horseradish crème fraiche and pistachios. Enjoy a healthy kale and bulgur wheat salad tossed with sweet dates, crunchy almonds, and a light citrus dressing.
In addition to the beautiful salads you’ll find on display, there will also be a make-your-own salad bar where you can stock up on fresh leafy greens, nutritious veggies, and your favorite salad toppings.
Bountiful Displays and Stations
The Seafood Station will feature everything from smoked salmon to a bountiful gulf shrimp cocktail to a selection of fresh, briny oysters. The bay scallop and Key West pink shrimp ceviche is a tasty and unique addition to your Thanksgiving plate.
Thanksgiving is all about comfort food, and for many people, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a steaming, saucy pasta dish. Our Make-Your-Own Pasta station will be serving specialty noodles like butternut squash ravioli, tortellini, and rigatoni along with toppings like pancetta, mushrooms, Italian sausage, and more. Top it off with your choice of sauce like creamy alfredo, basil pesto, or a rich and hearty short rib Bolognese.
Fun International Flavors
Think outside the box this year when it comes to your holiday feast. At Rosen Shingle Creek, our Thanksgiving buffet features flavors from around the world.
Our in-house sushi restaurant, Banrai Sushi, will be serving a curated selection of their menu items. Help yourself to a variety of classic and specialty sushi rolls, as well as colorful sashimi and nigiri.
There will also be an assortment of Dim Sum, including plump steamed dumplings with a sweet and tangy ponzu dipping sauce, Yakisoba noodle stir fry, and classic fried rice.
If Spanish flavors are your preference, be sure to try our Paella Valencia, made with succulent shrimp, mussels, clams, spicy andouille sausage, herb marinated chicken, and fragrant saffron rice.
Breakfast
If you skipped breakfast to save room for your epic Thanksgiving feast, you can fill up on all your morning favorites at our buffet.
Our Breakfast station will be serving made-to-order omelets with an array of vegetables, cheeses, and breakfast meats for your perfectly customized combo. There will also be stacks of fluffy pancakes, tasty eggs benedict, and plenty of smoked bacon and sausage.
Help yourself to a display of bagels with toppings like pumpkin spice whipped cream cheese and cranberry orange cream cheese, in addition to plain whipped butter and cream cheese.
Don’t forget to pile your plate high with assorted breakfast Danishes and pastries like fig & pecan rugalach, caramel apple scones, and pumpkin cinnamon rolls.
Entrees
The true stars of the Rosen Shingle Creek Thanksgiving buffet are the savory entrees.
At our carving station, you’ll find a traditional roasted Joyce Farms Free Range Turkey, tender and juicy. There will also be a succulent prime rib with an herb crust made from herbs grown in our onsite garden, Emma’s Creekside Farm.
The entrees don’t stop there. Help yourself to seafood like grilled swordfish with a perfectly seasoned eggplant caponata, or Miso Glazed salmon with delicious forbidden rice.
Reimagine your traditional Thanksgiving main course with melt-in-your-mouth slow cooked beef short ribs, served over a creamy mascarpone polenta. Chicken francese is served with sauteed spinach and a white wine and caper beurre blanc for the perfect fall poultry dish.
Served alongside our entrees will be a variety of traditional Thanksgiving sides like Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, stuffing made with tangy sourdough bread and savory sage, and sweet potato puree topped with a fluffy meringue and crunchy candied pecans.
Desserts
Dessert enthusiasts have come to the right place.
Our Thanksgiving buffet will feature an assortment of pies like classic pumpkin, salted caramel apple, chocolate bourbon pecan, key lime, and more.
Once you’ve served yourself a slice or two, stop by our display of mini desserts with over a dozen unique delicacies. Try a brown butter banana torte, dark chocolate cheesecake, pineapple upside down cake, apple spice cake, and a variety of other fall-inspired flavor combinations.
Last, but never least, a trip to the ice cream bar is the perfect way to end your Thanksgiving feast. Help yourself to vanilla or pumpkin ice cream and top it off with your favorite toppings, like spiced apple compote, toasted pecans, Biscoff cookie crumbles, and so much more.
Choose a Special Thanksgiving Banquet
In addition to our spectacular Thanksgiving buffet, Rosen Shingle Creek is also offering a seated dining experience at our legendary steakhouse, A Land Remembered.
