Get a fully cooked Thanksgiving Meal to-go from restaurants and stores

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.

With the CDC recommendations of smaller holiday gathering with immediate family only, many may find themselves in charge of their own Thanksgiving meal for the first time. 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.

Note: The prices or offerings for the to-go meals might vary by location.
