The holidays will definitely look different this year, but that doesn’t mean the food you consume needs to be any different, even if the number of people you’re sharing it with is smaller. These restaurants and eateries have made the holiday meal preparations easy.

Order soon! Many of these restaurants are closing their orders in the next couple days, so drool over their menus now and get your order in.

Full meal

This take and bake meal includes a whole game hen, Tail & Trotters smoked ham, potato gratin, fall roasted veggies, herbed stuffing, sweet potato crumble, a bean chutney made with a secret family recipe, green salad, a citrus-rich sauce, and of course, gravy. There are several optional add-ons as well like a cheese board and wine pairing. Pickup is available the Wednesday before Thanksgiving as well as Friday or Saturday after for those late celebrators!
