Here’s Where You Can Get To-Go Thanksgiving Meals In The Quad Cities

If you don't want to cook for Thanksgiving, you don't have to.

I am not a very good cook by any stretch of the imagination and that would be the main reason that nothing is expected of me at Thanksgiving. We all want to enjoy the casseroles, turkey, and pies that come along with the Thanksgiving feast but because of either talent or time constraints, those can be difficult if not impossible to make ourselves.

Luckily for us, there are plenty of restaurants around the Quad Cities that offer to-go Thanksgiving meals that you can pick up to serve the fam. To make your holiday season even less stressful, here's the list of them for you. You're welcome.

Cracker Barrel

Cracker Barrel is in Davenport off of Brady at 300 Jason Way Ct. They have 3 Thanksgiving options: their 'Heat & Serve' Family Dinner and their 'Heat & Serve' Feast. Both feature turkey breasts, cornbread dressing, turkey gravy, cranberry relish, sweet potato casserole, choice of a side, and rolls. The third option is 'Hot & Ready' family dinner, which includes turkey and dressing, turkey gravy, cranberry relish, green beans, macaroni and cheese, rolls, and pie.

You can go ahead and preorder your feast now.

Mr. Thanksgiving At SouthPark Mall

Specifics haven't been announced yet but Quad Cities classic Mr. Thanksgiving will be back handing out meals for his 53rd year! You'll need to call ahead to reserve yours.

Machine Shed

Davenport's Machine Shed is offering a holiday dinner for 4 pack for $89.99. You can choose your entree (boneless turkey breast or traditional boneless ham), choose 4 sides (mashed potatoes & gravy, sweet potato casserole, sage stuffing, green beans, green bean casserole, corn casserole, corn), and pick apple, cherry, or pumpkin pie. The pack includes cranberry relish and dinner rolls.

Order it at least 24 hours before you need to pick it up.

Costco

A gourmet Thanksgiving dinner from Costco will run you about $150 and serves 8 people. It includes: 5 pounds of turkey breast, 2 pounds of stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, mac and cheese, sweet corn, green beans, cranberry relish, rolls, and a pumpkin pie and apple pie.

Popeyes

Weird right? But for Thanksgiving at Popeyes, you can only get the turkey. It's a Cajun-seasoned turkey but you won't find a dinner deal with any casseroles or sides.

Hy-Vee

Hy-Vee's Turkey Party Pleaser meal set serves 8 and has a 10-12 pound Butterball turkey, mashed potatoes, 2 large sides of your choice, beef or turkey gravy, and dinner rolls. Get the details on Hy-Vee's website.

Denny's

Denny's has a Turkey & Dressing Dinner that consists of carved turkey breast, stuffing, turkey gravy, cranberry sauce, 2 sides, and rolls. They also sell full-size pumpkin pies or pecan pies.

Walmart

Walmart's Holiday Turkey Dinner is available for 2, 4, 6, and 8. It includes roasted turkey, turkey gravy, stuffing, potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce. You can get the details on Walmart's website.

Of course on Turkey Day, there will still be Thanksgiving buffets in the Quad Cities that you can enjoy, like Bix Bistro in Hotel Blackhawk and Golden Corral, among others. And several nonprofits will hand out free meals on the day of too. But if you don't want to cook and you know darn well hosting Thanksgiving is all on you, these are some options to make your day much more chill.
