Where to dine-in
Rick’s Café Boatyard | By reservation

Where to carry-out
Pots & Pans Pie Co.
Choose from ready-to-eat sweet pies — like caramel pumpkin and sweet potato — and take-and-bake savory pot pies, including a Thanksgiving Dinner Pot Pie filled with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cornbread stuffing. Pro tip: Pots & Pans will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
His Place Eatery
The beloved soul food restaurant is offering a Thanksgiving catering package that serves up to 10 people for $129. It includes your choice of smoked turkey breast or ham, two sides (mashed potatoes, green beans, or dressing), and cornbread muffins. Desserts like peach cobbler and sweet potato cheesecake are also available. Orders will be accepted through Friday, Nov. 15, or until all catering slots are filled.
Shapiro’s Deli
A Thanksgiving meal for under $20 per person? Now that’s a steal. Get your turkey, gravy, dressing, nine pounds of sides, and rye bread or buns to serve eight people for $150. Desserts can be added for an extra fee.
Goose the Market
Buy a smoked turkey + fixings, or opt for a raw turkey to make at home — you can even pick up a brine kit and bucket here if you need it. Make sure you grab some homestyle gourmet turkey gravy and Chris’ Cranberry Mostarda while you’re at it.
Big Hoffa’s Bar-B-Que
Get everything from the smoked turkey to baked beans + peach cobbler from Westfield’s favorite barbecue joint. Plan ahead: Orders are accepted through Thursday, Nov. 21.
Field Brewing
Want to make your own turkey but have someone else take care of the sides? Field Brewing can take care of the gravy, stuffing, rolls, brussels sprouts, mac and cheese, and more for you — just make sure to order before Friday, Nov. 22.
Can’t go wrong with a charcuterie board as an appetizer.
