For some, Thanksgiving is the time to break out their inner Food Network star. For others, not so much. No shame in the take-out game.

Whether you want to have the home-style vibe without the prep, or you would rather enjoy a night on the town, these local eateries are ready for turkey time.

Acre, 6325 Lewis St., Parkville, MO | This modern Midwestern restaurant knows a thing or two about hospitality, and will have items like blistered green beans, house-made rolls, and roasted sweet potatoes for pickup with cooking and reheating instructions.
