No cooking? No problem.
With large, indoor gatherings discouraged in the fight against the coronavirus, this might be the year to skip the stress and mess of preparing a Thanksgiving feast and enjoy that Turkey Day meal at – or from – a restaurant instead.
Ahead of the holiday, check out this roundup of seven savory chains open for business on Nov. 26. As the food service industry’s operating rules and restrictions vary by state during this time, be sure to contact your favorite neighborhood joint before anybody gets hangry.
Bob Evans: Proudly open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every Thanksgiving, the chain’s classic “Farmhouse Feast” special is also offered in two varieties, ready to serve at home in two hours.
Boston Market: No matter what you’re craving on Turkey Day, the homestyle hotspot offers a slew of selection. Customers can preorder and pick up ready-to-serve entrees and sides, order a pre-cooked meal straight to your door, have them cater a full, hot feast for groups of 10 or more, or just drop in for a meal at Boston Market itself.
