Thanksgiving To-Go



On a regular year, if we didn't feel like cooking an entire Thanksgiving feast, having a nice dinner out was the next best option. Timber was always a tried and true option for my family when we didn't feel like turning on the oven. But this year, if you're not in the market to cook, dining out isn't as easy as years past. Thankfully, a number of restaurants in Southern Maine are rising to the occasion and meeting us halfway: Thanksgiving meals to-go! Whether you're looking for the whole shebang or just need some last minute sides (and I'm NOT talking about a side salad) these establishments are ready to put you in a Thanksgiving food coma.


This is a comprehensive list of everyone offering Thanksgiving fare, and as always if there's anyone I've missed, please feel free to let me know via the contact form on the Contact page or DM me on Instagram!
