What is nicer for Thanksgiving : setting up the dinner family style or buffet style ?

I think it's nicer setting up the dinner table for all.

It would depend on how many people. If everyone can't sit at the main table, then buffet style. Some people have thanksgiving parties with family AND friends so there's more people than can be accommodated at the table so buffet is best so people can dine in their cliques

that would greatly depend on how good your family home cooked meal is and if everyone gets along. if no one knows how to cook, id recommend going out, also going out tends to make argumentative people behave better.

Family Style

Last thanksgiving we did family style, there were about 8-10 of us. Christmas however we did buffet style, there were 15 or so of us. Depends on how much table space you have and how many guests.

Family style unless it's a particularly big group

Both. My family sits at the table while we eat buffet style.

In most cases Family style , but if you have a bunch go with the buffet.

Both. Sit at the table doing family style while the food is set up buffet style.

Im a caregiver. Thats how we do it for our patients.

Buffet style is my preference, just makes things go faster and smoother rather than everyone at a table passing and reaching

family style

If there are a lot of people, I would set the food on an island where people can choose and eat whatever they favor. If there are 7 people or less, the family-style would be more practical on Thanksgiving

I personally like them both but my family does family style "pass it around". It works good but if you think about it, buffet is great because you can take as much you want "pressure free" without trying to hold a heavy platter or bowl and scoop food onto your plate while being watched by hungry relatives anxious for their turn.

If everyone is at a table, then family style. If there are too many people to sit at a table (like at a Thanksgiving party), then buffet style.

Family style

I tend to family style for Thanksgiving dinner setup. I love the atmosphere that day among family members.

Family style.

Family style it's more intimate and homely.

how many people? family style if less than 10- maybe buffet for more than ten people.

It's nice no matter how you set it up, because you get to eat.

both; give them what they want....children should be helped, if having a buffet, only bring out small pots or serving trays at a time...so nothing gets too cold or ruined, 3 pan warmers work well, and 4 qt crock pots on low/warm for gravy and potatos

Thanksgiving is having everyone over at once be it family and friends. I prefer family sit down which I favor the most but stop bys are always welcome. Grab a plate and fill it up we'll squeeze you in right here.

definitely family style

i would have it family style for the main meal, then maybe at supper time or even the next day, i'd set up a cold buffet meal, with salad + one or two sweet dishes, maybe a trifle + a traybake.

Good ole family style

buffet style

Family style. A traditional sit down meal is always the best way to go.

I had a restaurant Thanksgiving once in my life.
I don't need to do that ever again.

family style

My dining table can seat 10 but it can't hold all the food platters and bowls so we set up food in the kitchen and sit at the table.

Both

We do a buffet style even if it's only the four of us so the food stays where it will remain warm.

Buffet style! It is way simpler and if they want to go for seconds, they can.

I like buffet style!
