And I have to admit that I’m pretty blown away by some of these offerings! By the time you buy a turkey and all the sides and make the desserts… wow!

Can you add to you list Moerlein Lager House https://www.moerleinlagerhouse.com/Pickup/Thanksgiving-Dinner-for-Four/
Thanks Greg
Will do. Thanks, Greg!
Great list Miss Bridget! Was hoping to see Montgomery Inn but not disappointed with the other options
Hello Bridgett,
Will you please reach out to me for updated Bouquet Thanksgiving offerings.
Thank you!
I am grateful that Whole Foods Market has vegetarian and vegan options. They sell out quickly. I’m disappointed so few restaurants offer a vegetarian Thanksgiving option.
