Every year we put together a list of grocery stores, restaurants, and catering companies where you can order your Thanksgiving dinner to go so that you can enjoy it at home.
We’ve put together a huge list of holiday events in the Triangle, including parades, festivals, markets, Santa visits, and more. Check out our growing day by day list of holiday events in the Triangle!
These meals definitely save time, and for most of them, the price per person isn’t too bad. Some arrive hot and some need to be heated up. Make sure to follow the links for full information. Our listings below include just a taste of all the options.
When you see something you like, you’ll want to order quickly, as these deals are subject to selling out. Make sure to follow each link to see the details, including the deadline for ordering for Thanksgiving.
You’ll typically get a turkey (or ham), gravy, stuffing, and several sides. You might want to supplement the meal with extra sides. In many cases, there are vegetarian or vegan options.
If you’d rather dine out for Thanksgiving, check out this list of restaurants in the Triangle serving Thanksgiving dinner. Don’t delay in making reservations. Many of these restaurants will also offer takeout or delivery, so you’ll have another way of enjoying somebody else’s cooking at home.
Note: The prices or offerings for the to-go meals might vary by location.
