The Thanksgiving tradition continues at Sykes Diner in Kalispell

KALISPELL – A holiday tradition from the past four decades is back in the Flathead as Sykes Diner in Kalispell will host free Thanksgiving meals.

The free meals will be offered on Thanksgiving Day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sykes Diner, located at 202 Second Avenue West in Kalispell.

The traditional Thanksgiving meal consists of turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie and all the other fixings.

Sykes Diner co-owner Pas Haase said they expect to serve hundreds of Thanksgiving meals.

“You can take it away or you can dine with us, whichever is a good thing. There are people here who can help anyone who needs help, so come in and visit us between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.”

Haase said the Thanksgiving meals are made possible thanks to countless volunteers who help prepare and serve the turkey meals each year.
