Eating Thanksgiving dinner > cooking it
Whether you need a little or a lotta help with your November 28 feasting, we’ve rounded up some of the best options (to carry out or dine out!) for the year’s biggest meal. Put on those elastic-waistband pants, and get ready to gobble ‘til you wobble.
Supper Club Market
Your neighborhood market has you covered for a comforting meal on Thanksgiving, for sure. Supper Club offers an all-inclusive menu and a la carte options, including herb-roasted turkey, bourbon and pecan sweet potatoes, family-style harvest salad, and plenty more.
Location: 417 N Ridge Rd (Henrico)
Cooper’s Hawk
This feast without the fuss from Chef Matt McMillin is “heat and serve,” with all the delicious flavors and trimmings of your classic Thanksgiving table. The menu includes pretzel bread and butter, butternut squash soup, stuffing, potatoes, green beans and carrots, cranberry sauce, a slow-roasted turkey, and a pumpkin praline cheesecake. Or head to the restaurant-winery itself for a full Thanksgiving dinner out — featuring a similar menu to the heat-and-serve option.
Location: 11792 W Broad St (Short Pump)
Yellow Umbrella Provisions
Yellow Umbrella is offering a full menu of both traditional and innovative options, with main course options (turkey, lamb, and rib roast), sides (twice-baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin, sweet potato puree, herb stuffing, oyster stuffing, cheese grits, brandied cranberry relish, ham biscuits), vegetable options (green beans with shiitake mushrooms, green bean casserole, rustic vegetable roast, grilled vegetable medley, creamed spinach, and asparagus), and locally baked rolls and pies.

This market is partnering with Old Way Farm to provide local turkey, along with wine selections and more to complement your meals.

Stella’s Grocery
Stella’s Grocery is offering a full gourmet Thanksgiving menu. Think: boneless leg of lamb, brown sugar and honey glazed ham, or bone-in whole turkey breast; sides (like shredded Brussels sprouts, corn pudding, whipped potatoes, and more); hors d’ouevres; casseroles; and desserts.
Location: 1007 Lafayette St (Malvern Gardens — available for pick-up at this location only)
Ukrop’s
A classic holiday catering option, Ukrop’s offers a Turkey Dinner Package, including a fully cooked turkey with homestyle gravy, cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, seasoned green beans, cranberry orange salad, and a White House Roll cluster. Or, if you need a little less of an assist, you can pick up Ukrop’s holiday sides from all RVA-area Kroger stores and Libbie Market the Monday ahead of Thanksgiving, while supplies last.
Location: 2026 Westmoreland St (Sauer's Gardens — available for pick-up at this location only)
Big Herm’s Kitchen

RVA Cheese Girl
Maybe you signed up to bring an app to your mom’s for the holiday, or you don’t want to figure out how much is enough cheese and crackers for the party of friends and relations you’re hosting. Whatever the case, RVA Cheese Girl has plenty of charcuterie board options for your holiday sitch. Order one of her many Signature Boards, and enjoy some more time in the morning with your coffee and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — before things really heat up in the kitchen.
