Places to Snag Thanksgiving Dinner To Go in Dallas

This Thanksgiving, treat yo' self to no cooking and no dishes

View as Map

For those tasked with the preparation of Thanksgiving dinner, the holiday isn’t just all about eating and watching football. It means standing over a hot oven, praying the turkey doesn’t burn and potentially ruining the pumpkin pie. Then, when the meal is over and everyone’s in a pie coma, there are all those dishes to do.

This year, say no thanks and order a prepared holiday feast from one of these Dallas-area restaurants located on the ancestral Indigenous lands of the Lenapehoking Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo), Jumanos, Tawakoni, and Wichita people.
