Thanksgiving Dinner To Go
Handing the turkey to a professional kitchen frees up the whole day for the people at your table. Across Orange County, grocers, barbecue pits, bakeries and sit-down restaurants take advance orders for full Thanksgiving dinner to go, heat-at-home sides and whole birds.
Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26, 2026. Many kitchens have not released their 2026 menus yet, so each listing below notes whether this year’s details are out or still to be announced.
Last checked October 15, 2026. Availability and deadlines may change.
Check before you order: Pre-order windows often close several days before the holiday, popular meals sell out, and pickup is often a day or two before Thanksgiving. Many meals are sold chilled and need a few hours of reheating, so confirm the deadline, pickup time and reheating steps directly with the business.
