Montclair

The family-style meal is complete with butternut squash soup, turkey, stuffing, cranberry chutney, and gravy alongside Pommes puree aka potato clouds, and vegetable fricassee. In addition, customers can select options from the a la carte offerings like the cheese plate appetizer, roasted salmon with dill sauce entree, and sides such as mac and cheese, green bean casserole, and sweet potato gratin.

La Rocca | 23 Midland Avenue

While it isn’t a traditional Thanksgiving offering, there’s no reason why you can’t or shouldn’t have a lasagna at Thanksgiving. You can order an entire tray of La Rocca’s lasagna as part of your Thanksgiving dinner. Orders must be placed at least a week in advance and will need to be picked up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (the 23rd).

Palazzo | 33 Walnut Street

In the past, Palazzo has offered turkey dinners that were available for takeout, serving anywhere from one to 15 people. Last year’s dinner included roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, homemade stuffing, and sauteed green beans.

Pineapple Express Barbecue | 1 Lackawanna Plaza

Tis barbecue joint and beer garden is serving up Thanksgiving dinner with a twist.

Ruthie’s Bar-B-Que & Pizza | 64 ½ Chestnut Street

It’s that time of year for Ruthie’s famous smoked turkey and gravy. Some wait all year for this special and it’s no wonder.

The regular catering menu will also be available — and you can call or email to place orders. Click here to learn more.

Sweet T’s Southern Eatery | 387 Bloomfield Avenue

Consider Sweet T’s to bring a little soul to this year’s table – soul food that is. Customers can put together a custom menu from a selection of starters, entrees, sides, and desserts.

Talk about yum. Email orders by November 15th to Sweettssoutherneatery@gmail.com for pickup on November 23rd between 6PM and 8PM.
