Where to Order the Perfect Thanksgiving Dinner in Atlanta

Cooking for Turkey Day doesn’t have to be so much of a hassle this year.

Thanksgiving is a time for food, fun, and fellowship, but sometimes the preparation can be a bit stressful. Outside of hosting those cousins and in-laws that you barely speak to during the year; cooking for multiple people takes hours (and sometimes days). With Turkey Day steadily approaching, there are plenty of restaurants in Atlanta and its surrounding suburbs that are offering meal packages this year that will surely take a load off of whomever in your family is tasked with cooking. More food, less cleanup—what more can you ask for? From the Southern cuisine at Revival to the delicious desserts at Crave Pie, the 404 has got you covered this holiday season.
