Where To Get Thanksgiving To-Go in Atlanta
Whoever thinks Thanksgiving is relaxing has clearly never been in charge of cooking the meal.
You’re worried about sourcing a turkey (it weighs how much?!), choosing sides and appetizers (do people actually like cranberry sauce?), figuring out seating for your visitors (will Cousin Kyle be offended he’s at the kid’s table?), and preparing for the monsoon of dishes you’ll have to wash (Siri: how do I clean a dish coated with burned mac and cheese?).
On top of that, the food might flat out suck. Your turkey might be dry. Your stuffing could be soggy. And maybe that casserole you saw on TikTok didn’t quite translate to your kitchen.
Luckily, there are restaurants all over the Atlanta area who want to take over the hard part for you and handle the cooking, letting you focus on watching football and debating politics with the family (ah, the holidays!)
Here are some of those places helping to make your Thanksgiving stress-free.
1. Local Three
The food at Local Three is hard to define in terms other than “delicious”. It’s a relaxed yet creative take on refined American style cuisine, with comforting cocktails to boot. It’s exactly the kind of place you can trust to make your Thanksgiving meal one to remember.
What You Get:
You can either opt for the full Family Feast or choose your items à la carte. The Family Feast includes your choice of a turkey or a spiral cut ham, along with a whole lotta sides, including but not limited to: a from scratch green bean casserole, four-cheese mac and cheese, and Grateful Bread yeast rolls (I mainly included those for the name). The full feast is $449, which may seem steep until you realize it feeds up to 12 people, which shakes out to roughly $33 a head.

If you find yourself around the Tucker area, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better hangout spot than their 8,500-square-foot beer garden. They also happen to serve fantastic German food, a level of quality that carries over to their Thanksgiving offerings.
