Order your Thanksgiving Meal To Go

Not everyone wants to or can spend hours in the kitchen cooking a Thanksgiving meal. If that describes you, consider ordering a fully cooked Thanksgiving meal to go from a grocery store or restaurant. 

You’ll avoid crowded restaurants, and you can spend more time with your family, without having to worry about your cooking skills (or lack of cooking skills).

Even if you don’t want to order the full meal, most of these options offer parts of a Thanksgiving meal to-go, including the main dish, sides, or dessert. 

This list of restaurants and stores offering fully cooked Thanksgiving Meals to go may be your best Thanksgiving resource if you want a full turkey day table without the hassle!

Make sure you check ordering and pickup dates! Some require orders way in advance, while others can accommodate more last minute orders. Pickup dates usually start a few days before Thanksgiving (for heat and eat meals) or on the morning of Thanksgiving. 

If you’d rather dine out for Thanksgiving, here’s a list of restaurants in Columbus open on Thanksgiving.

Don’t delay in making reservations. Many of these restaurants will also offer takeout or delivery, so they offer another easy way to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner without the kitchen hassle.

Fry Out Cancer Thanksgiving Fundraiser

Need just a turkey or some pies? The Fry Out Cancer Thanksgiving fundraiser is an amazing cause that can put food on your table, as well as families in need (all while fighting cancer!).

Fry Out Cancer has been raising money for cancer research, fighting hunger, and increasing volunteerism in Central Ohio by frying turkeys on Thanksgiving Day since 2014. What started as a one-man grassroots fundraiser has turned into a multi-day event that feeds thousands of people on Thanksgiving Day while raising tens of thousands of dollars for cancer research at The James Cancer Hospital.

Choose between reserving a deep-fried turkey or pies for yourself, or donating a roasted turkey for a family or organization in need. Volunteer opportunities available; read full details.

See more details on the website or Facebook page.
