Thanksgiving Dinner To Go Options for Cincinnati

Want to cut back on some (or all) of the cooking for Thanksgiving? Check out this list of Cincinnati area restaurants that offer Thanksgiving dinners and desserts for pickup.

My own family gathering will be smaller this year and I decided to really hunt through the offerings to see if maybe this would be the year to just scale it back. 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! Ordering it for pickup is looking better and better.

Yep, these Thanksgiving to-go combinations look pretty sweet for 2023!

  1. Hi Dave, Yes, we will start updating that list in early November. We have lots of great options this year!

  2. Hello Bridgett,

    Will you please reach out to me for updated Bouquet Thanksgiving offerings.

    Thank you!

  3. 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.
