Whether your favorite part of Thanksgiving is the turkey, the sides, the pie, or just hanging out with your family, chances are it’s not stressing about whether the bird will be too dry or the potatoes will be cooked on time. Luckily you can just enjoy the best parts of the holiday without doing all the work thanks to these 67 restaurants offering meals you can pick up and just reheat at home or buffets and dinners out where you also won’t have to take care of the dishes. Whether you’re feeding a big group or just want a meal for two, there are plenty of options for all the classics plus Italian, Peruvian, Indian and Southern spins on holiday fare.
Just be sure to make plans early as many places have ordering deadlines or fully book up. All meals take place on Nov. 28 unless otherwise specified.
