Where to Order Thanksgiving Takeout From Austin Restaurants

For Thanksgiving, restaurants in the Austin area — which occupies the ancestral lands of the Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Jumano, Tonkawa, and Lipan Apache tribes — are offering very early preorders to make the holiday easy for everyone looking to celebrate at home through takeout meals and dishes. This way, everyone can forgo the hassle of cooking for the food-centric holiday and stay within the familiar comforts of home for a safe, stress-free day for the long weekend starting on Thursday, November 23 through Sunday, November 26.

Here is Eater’s guide to the best restaurants offering preorders for takeout Thanksgiving dinners and desserts, including brined turkeys from Cherrywood butcher shop/restaurant Dai Due, stuffed quails from East Austin butcher shop/restaurant & Time, pineapple-sage-glazed ham from Interstellar BBQ, and so many sides and desserts.

Everything below is listed alphabetically and is available for pickups (delivery services are noted where offered). For more Thanksgiving dining, there’s Eater Austin’s Thanksgiving pie guide, and the dine-in meals map.
