Thanksgiving dinner doesn't have to mean spending the whole holiday in the kitchen. The right takeout order can cover the entire table, give you a head start on the sides, or leave you with just one job: carving the turkey.
The trick is ordering the kind of help you actually need. A complete dinner is different from a turkey with gravy, and a beautiful spread of sides isn't much use without a main. This guide separates those options, with picks for small households, big family gatherings, Friendsgiving, and hosts who'd rather outsource dessert than give up their own stuffing recipe.
Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026. Prices are package or item prices before tax, fees and tip. Most meals come chilled and need reheating at home.

Complete Thanksgiving Dinners in Nashville
These cover the turkey, the sides and usually dessert in one order. Nearly all of them come chilled with reheating instructions, so plan oven time even when the cooking's done. For a Friendsgiving outside the holiday week, Sushi-san starts November 19 and Martin's keeps pickups going November 27–29.
Monell's
1235 6th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37208, USA
Monell's is where we'd start for a table that wants turkey, ham and the casseroles everyone expects: cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, mac and cheese, corn pudding, and caramel pumpkin pie to finish. The $75 package covers up to three people with both meats, which makes it one of the easiest ways to do a small Southern Thanksgiving without a whole bird. Details: $75 serves up to 3; $225 serves up to 8 · Order by November 14 at 5 p.m.; it usually sells out sooner · Pickup Wednesday, November 25, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. · Packaged for reheating; no substitutions; fried chicken available as an add-on
Puckett's
500 Church St, Nashville, TN 37219, USA
Puckett's covers most of dinner in one order at a price that's hard to beat for a family. The $120 smoked turkey breast meal feeds four to six with mac and cheese, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls and peach cobbler, and whole-turkey meals scale up to 20 people. Gravy and cranberry relish are add-ons, so put them in the cart rather than assuming they're included. Details: $120 serves 4–6; $275 serves 12–15; $375 serves 18–20 · Order by Saturday, November 21, 2 p.m. · Pickup November 24–25, 9 a.m.–7 p.m., or Thanksgiving morning, 7–10 a.m. · Comes chilled
Edley's Bar-B-Que
2706 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37204, USA
Every Edley's package comes with turkey and ham, so nobody has to pick a side. The trimmings are cornbread dressing, green beans, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry salad, plus rolls and your choice of pie (two pies with the large package). The $85 small package for two or three is one of the better values for a small table. Details: $85 serves 2–3; $160 serves 4–6; $310 serves 12–15 · Order by November 20 · Delivery Tuesday, November 24, or pickup at your local Edley's Tuesday 4–7 p.m. or Wednesday, November 25, 10 a.m.–7 p.m. · Heat and serve
Loveless Cafe
8400 TN-100, Nashville, TN 37221, USA
Order Loveless when the biscuits matter almost as much as the turkey. The meal pack feeds four to six with carved turkey, brown gravy, bourbon cranberry relish, cornbread dressing, three sides you choose (hashbrown casserole and creamed corn are both on the list) and a tray of 15 biscuits with preserves. Whole pies are extra, from chess and fudge to Steeplechase. Details: $139.99 serves 4–6 · Order by Sunday, November 15, which is also the last day for changes or refunds; packs can sell out earlier · Choose a pickup slot at checkout and drive up to the Barn circle, not the dining room · Reheating instructions included
Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint
410 4th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37201, USA
Martin's works for a full smoked dinner or just the bird. The Small Gathering brings 2.5 pounds of sliced smoked turkey or ham with four quart-size sides, rolls and a pie; the new Holiday Supper pairs a whole smoked turkey breast with five sides, pie and a gallon of tea; the Major Feast steps up to a whole turkey or half ham. Every package now includes one side of your choosing, and a whole smoked turkey on its own is $99.99. Details: $169.99 serves 4–6; $219.99 serves 10–12; $289.99 serves 12–15 · Order online and pick your location · Pickup November 23–25 and 27–29, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; closed Thanksgiving Day · Everything comes cold with warming instructions
Chef's Market
900 Conference Dr #9, Goodlettsville, TN 37072, USA
Chef's Market suits a bigger gathering that wants choices: herb-crusted or Cajun-fried turkey, maple-mustard glazed ham, smoked gouda mac and cheese, and packages that add appetizers and extra desserts. The $165 Intimate package serves four with sliced turkey, gravy, dressing, vegetables, rolls and pie. Details: $165 serves 4; packages for 10–12 run $390–$625 depending on meats and extras · Order by Friday, November 20, noon · Pickup by Wednesday, November 25, 6 p.m.; closed Thanksgiving Day
Frankies 925 Spuntino
925 Cherokee Ave Suite 104, Nashville, TN 37207, USA
Frankies keeps Thanksgiving familiar but cooks it the way an Italian-American kitchen would: herb-butter turkey breast, sourdough dressing made with confit turkey thighs, Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic, and squash casserole. Apple pie, pumpkin pie and tiramisu are add-ons. Details: $225 serves up to 6; $349 serves up to 12 · Order through the online holiday listing while supplies last; set the party size to one, since the price shown is for the whole package · Pickup Wednesday, November 25, 11 a.m. · Fully cooked, with reheating instructions
Halls Catch
1600 West End Ave #108, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
Halls is the splurge: $285 feeds four with roasted turkey, fried turkey or bourbon-molasses glazed ham, plus croissant stuffing, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, French green beans and rolls. If you're already in for this kind of dinner, the lobster mac and cheese is the add-on to get. Details: $285 serves 4 · Order by phone at 615-751-4255 by Sunday, November 22, noon · Curbside pickup at Halls Catch (not the Chophouse) Wednesday, November 25, noon–6 p.m., or Thanksgiving Day, 11 a.m.–4 p.m. · Ask about reheating when you book
Sushi-san
2212 12th Avenue South - Located in: Ashwood 12 South Assemblage, Nashville, TN 37204, USA
Sushi-san's Friendsgiving package is the order for a group that would rather riff on Thanksgiving than recreate it: char siu turkey, bánh mì stuffing, mashed potatoes with yakitori gravy, miso-glazed carrots, delicata squash and garlic chili green beans. It's available a full week ahead, which makes an early Friendsgiving easy. Details: $125 serves 4 · Pickup or delivery November 19–25 · Order through the holiday menu, not a regular same-day order

Thanksgiving Dinner for Two in Nashville
These three are portioned for two and sold in multiples of two if you're feeding a few more. For a household of three, Monell's $75 package and Edley's $85 package are also worth a look.
Sadie's
1200 Villa Pl, Nashville, TN 37212, USA
Sadie's pairs roasted turkey with coulotte steak and gives the sides a Mediterranean lean: whipped feta and pita, harissa-honey Brussels sprouts, Moroccan-style brioche stuffing, mashed potatoes, a chopped salad, and pistachio baklava for dessert. It still has stuffing and potatoes, so it reads as Thanksgiving with a twist, and at $100 it's the least expensive of the three. Details: $100 for 2, ordered in multiples of two · Order by Friday, November 20, 9 p.m., while supplies last · Pickup or delivery Wednesday, November 25, 11 a.m.–8 p.m. · Reheating instructions included; no substitutions
Aba
435 Houston St, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
Aba goes further from tradition: classic and pumpkin hummus, Greek salad, truffle-baked orzo, beef tenderloin kebab with lemon-dill rice, turkey breast with gravy, and sticky date cake. There's no stuffing or mashed potatoes, so it suits a couple who'd rather eat well than eat the usual. Add the whole pumpkin chiffon pie for a classic finish. Details: $119.95 for 2; pumpkin chiffon pie $55 extra · Order by Monday, November 23, 4 p.m. · Pickup Wednesday, November 25, 11 a.m.–4 p.m. · Comes cold with reheating directions; closed Thanksgiving Day
Adele's
1210 McGavock St, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
Adele's is the Southern pick for two: smoked turkey breast and black-pepper caramel ham, cornbread with chipotle honey, green beans with bacon, brown-butter smashed potatoes, kale salad, gravy, cranberry sauce and white chocolate panna cotta. It's run by the same group as Sadie's, so the ordering terms match. Details: $120 for 2, ordered in multiples of two · Order by Friday, November 20, 9 p.m., while supplies last · Pickup or delivery Wednesday, November 25, 11 a.m.–8 p.m. · Reheating instructions included; no substitutions
Thanksgiving Turkeys, Sides and Pies in Nashville
These are for hosts who've already got part of dinner covered. Nothing here is a complete meal on its own, so settle who's bringing the main before you order a sides package. Vegetarians should look at Dozen and Henrietta Red first.
The Gumbo Bros
505 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
The turkey is brined, injected with Cajun butter and citrus, then fried, and the 11–14 pound bird is sized for 12–15 people. It comes with a pint each of gravy and cranberry sauce, and a quart of chicken-and-sausage or seafood gumbo is an easy add for the days after. Details: $145 for the turkey with gravy and cranberry sauce · Pickup Tuesday or Wednesday, November 24–25, at the Gulch or Murfreesboro restaurant · Comes cold with heating instructions; both locations closed Thanksgiving Day
Catering by Johnny Haffner
6202 Charlotte Pike, Nashville, TN 37209, USA
Johnny Haffner is the build-your-own option: turkey or beef tenderloin, sides, pies, and breakfast dishes for the morning after. Sliced turkey breast is $100 for seven to nine, and many sides are $24 for four or more, but serving sizes vary by item, so check each one. Details: Order by Friday, November 20, noon · Pickup Wednesday, November 25, 11 a.m.–5 p.m.; Wednesday delivery available · Thanksgiving morning delivery, 9 a.m.–noon, costs an extra $100
DailyDish
2205 Hillsboro Rd, Franklin, TN 37069, USA
DailyDish sells its Thanksgiving menu entirely à la carte, with dishes sized for four to six: deviled eggs, herb-roasted turkey breast, sweet potato casserole, Southern mac and cheese, apple cobbler and more. It's the right call when relatives are each bringing something and you just need to fill the gaps. Details: Order by Friday, November 20, through the online order form · Pickup Wednesday, November 25 · Chef-prepared for reheating
The Food Company at GreenHouse
2211 Bandywood Dr, Nashville, TN 37215, USA
The Food Company's packages are for hosts who have the turkey and want every side handled: cherry-cranberry compote, onion-thyme gravy, rosemary-garlic mashed potatoes, Grand Marnier sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing, plus your choice of green bean casserole or Brussels sprouts and squash casserole or corn pudding. Packages scale evenly from 6 to 24 people. If you do need a main, the herb-butter bone-in turkey breast stuffed with cornbread stuffing serves up to six and is 10% off with a package. Details: Sides $132 for up to 6, $263 for 12, $394 for 18, $525 for 24; turkey breast $230 · Order by Thursday, November 19, noon, the earliest deadline in this guide · Pickup Wednesday, November 25, 8 a.m.–3 p.m.
Henrietta Red
1200 4th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37208, USA
Henrietta Red is the stop for sides and desserts that feel a little special: mushroom mac and cheese ($32) and sourdough stuffing with sausage and prunes ($30), both for six, plus rolls, sauces, oysters and other seafood starters. The pumpkin cheesecake and Rocky Road silk pie are the desserts to get, and evening pickup makes it easy to grab after work. Details: Pies $35 each; sides $15–$32 · Order by Saturday, November 21, 7 p.m. · Pickup Tuesday or Wednesday, November 24–25, 5–10 p.m. · The mushroom mac and cheese is vegetarian
Ocean Prime
990 Signal Crossing, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
Ocean Prime's Everything But the Turkey package brings steakhouse sides to the table: truffle mac and cheese, bacon creamed spinach, jalapeño potatoes au gratin, roasted Brussels sprouts and a five-layer carrot cake. It's a rich alternative to the usual dressing-and-cranberry lineup. The creamed spinach has bacon, so it isn't a vegetarian spread. Details: $160 serves 4–6; no turkey included · Order by Friday, November 20 · Pickup Wednesday, November 25
Dozen Bakery
2522 Grandview Ave, Nashville, TN 37211, USA
Dozen is the pie stop: pumpkin and buttermilk pear ($34), apple and butterscotch pecan ($36), and chocolate cream ($35). It's also the best answer here for a vegetarian at the table, with an 8-inch take-and-bake vegetarian pot pie, mushroom stuffing and a vegan mushroom gravy. Potato rolls, cranberry sauce and sweet potato casserole round out the order. Details: Vegetarian pot pie $26; mushroom stuffing $20 · Order by Friday, November 20, 11 a.m.; no changes or refunds after that · Pickup November 23–25 at the Grandview Avenue bakery; closed November 26–27 · Pot pies are take-and-bake, not ready to serve
Puffy Muffin
229 Franklin Rd, Brentwood, TN 37027, USA
Puffy Muffin is handy for Williamson County guests bringing a dish rather than hosting: turkey breast and gravy, green bean casserole, soups, salads, dips, pies and pumpkin bread. The bakery cases carry ready-made holiday treats too, but preorder anything the table can't do without. Details: Order by Saturday, November 21, 3 p.m., online or at 615-373-2741 · Pickup November 20–25; choose a date in that window for the Thanksgiving items to appear · GS on the menu means gluten-sensitive, not wheat-free
How to Choose the Right Thanksgiving Order
Start with how much cooking you want to keep. A complete dinner makes sense if you want one pickup and a coordinated menu. À la carte works better when the family insists on its own stuffing, potatoes or pie. Decide who's bringing the main before buying a sides package.
Pick the pickup plan before the food. A similar meal closer to home can beat crossing Nashville the day before Thanksgiving. Delivery saves an errand, but it doesn't save you the reheating or setup.
Read the heating instructions. Check what needs the oven, what can be warmed another way and what's truly take-and-bake, then plan fridge and oven space. Thanksgiving Day pickup doesn't mean the food arrives hot.
If you're hosting out-of-town guests, our Nashville brunch guide and hot chicken guide cover the rest of the weekend's meals, and the Christmas bars guide has the pop-ups opening the same week.
