WEST SEATTLE THANKSGIVING: 7 places offering pre-made holiday dinners to have at home

| Holidays | West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news

With a week and a half to go until Thanksgiving, and the recommendation to keep it small and simple at home, you might be looking for help with your holiday dinner. Here are (updated) seven places to start – NOT an all-inclusive list – let us know of others (that aren’t already sold out) – but what we have to start with:

WEST SEATTLE THRIFTWAY (4201 SW Morgan; WSB sponsor): You can order a turkey dinner, ham dinner, or various a la carte main and side through the store deli; the form is in Thriftway’s latest newsletter. Thriftway tells us you have to order by 4 pm next Monday (November 23rd), in person or by phone (206-937-0245), and Thanksgiving Day pickup is available (though the day before is recommended).

WEST SEATTLE WHOLE FOODS MARKET (4755 Fauntleroy Way SW): Order online at least two days in advance, for pickup by the day before Thanksgiving. Here’s what’s available.

SALTY’S ON ALKI (1936 Harbor SW; WSB sponsor): Meal kits for as few as two people are available, with the ordering deadline this Wednesday (November 18th), and pickups the day before Thanksgiving. Order by phone, 206-937-1600; here’s the menu.

PECOS PIT (4400 35th SW; WSB sponsor): Offering full Thanksgiving dinners, as well as a la carte components, for pickup. See the menu here. Order by Monday (November 23rd) for pickup the day before Thanksgiving. You can order online or by phone (206-708-7691).

METROPOLITAN MARKET (2320 42nd SW; WSB sponsor): Full precooked dinners are showing as sold out, but as of our check this morning, you have other options, such as a fully cooked turkey. Ordering deadline is next Monday, and you can order online.

HUSKY DELI (4721 California SW): You can order a “family-sized” Thanksgiving dinner (and other options), for pickup the day before Thanksgiving. Info’s online. Call 206-937-2810 or email hu**************@***il.com by 7 pm Tuesday, November 24th. If you order and prepay by phone, you can arrange curbside pickup.

(added) HARRY’S BEACH HOUSE (2676 Alki SW): Offering options from a la carte turkey and sides to a feast for 8. Here’s the menu. Order online or by email no later than this Friday (November 20th) for pickup next Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.

Someplace else to add? Email us the info – we*************@***il.com – thank you!

Do you think any of the restaurants will offer individual dinners or at least for two people? I know that the Hall at Fauntleroy is doing take out, but I would like to know if any of the local restaurants are. So far it seems like more for family-sized groups. Thanks.

Of those mentioned above, Salty’s kit is in “two-person increments.” (In other words, you can order for 2, or 4, or 6) … Thriftway, if you check the linked menu, has turkey breast dinners (smaller than a whole turkey) available. As for our list of who’s going to be open for takeout on Thanksgiving itself, that’s a whole added project and we won’t likely have the info before the start of the week. (Even if we’d been able to do early research, yesterday’s announcement would have thrown much of it out the door anyway.).- TR

Pretty sure Met Market and Whole foods meals are sold out online.

WSB November 16, 2020 (3:30 pm)

They weren’t when I checked close to publication time, But as noted, for example, Met Market’s complete dinners were sold out but fully cooked turkeys were available, at the time.

I was going to include them in the original list here but checked the ordering page first and everything appeared to be sold out (just checked again, still listed that way).

Just picked up smoked turkey legs from Peco’s! You can order them cold and freeze them until next week. $5 a piece during happy hour and they are huge.

Patrick’s Cafe in White Center posted the other day about offering a Hawaiian-style Thanksgiving feast to go, serves 3-5 people. Sounded tasty! last day to order 11/23. This was posted before the Gov’s orders though, so I don’t know if this still stands.

WSB November 16, 2020 (11:49 pm)

Unfortunately, sold out before we published this, so we didn’t include it.

  oh! dang it. I was looking forward to ordering that! thanks for the heads up.

    I think he still has pies and rolls available. Just not the whole meal.

The way this year has been, Swanson Turkey TV dinners not looking so bad.

A truly horrible childhood memory. Frozen food has improved dramatically in the past half-century.

  Oh c’mon – they weren’t *THAT* bad. Well, except for the mixed carrots and peas :) Had more than a few during my early bachelor days.

  oh, I loved tv dinners.

Safeway at Jefferson Square has order ahead holiday meals – including complete family turkey meals. Not super fancy but all the basics and well-priced – fully cooked turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, King’s Hawaiian Rolls.
