5 Places To Carry-Out For Thanksgiving
While many families choose to cook and host a traditional Thanksgiving meal, there are many reasons why you and your family may choose to dine at a restaurant instead. Rising food costs have become a concern in recent years, driving families to consider alternatives to a traditionally homecooked Thanksgiving meal.
The holiday should be about spending time with friends and family, so if you are too stressed or too busy this year, we’ve got some good news: the Riverway has options!
Here are some Great Miami Riverway restaurants offering Thanksgiving carry-out this year. Be sure to still call ahead to check for changed hours or details.
