Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner, and if you haven’t finalized your plans yet, don’t worry! While most sit-down restaurants have already filled their reservation slots, there are still great options around town for both dine-in and takeout meals. Whether you’re looking to pick up a pre-made Thanksgiving feast or want a spot to enjoy the holiday without the stress of cooking, here are a few places that still have you covered.

‍4. What’s for Dinner Sandfly

If you’re looking for a ready-made meal for 8-10 people, What's For Dinner in Sandfly has you covered with a complete dinner for $150, including a 12 lb pre-cooked turkey, mac n’ cheese, green bean casserole, and pumpkin cheesecake pie. Don’t forget—orders close tomorrow, so be sure to place your order by Wednesday at 6pm. Pickup is available Tuesday and Wednesday of Thanksgiving week.
