Top 3 Gulf Shores Thanksgiving Dinner To-Go and Dine-In Services
November is a great time to enjoy the scenic views of the ocean in Gulf Shores without the summer crowd. It also marks one of those seasons that people look forward to and celebrate with their families —Thanksgiving. If you’re looking to spend Turkey Day in Gulf Shores but you find the prep and cleaning to be a little overwhelming, you can avoid the holiday hassle by letting others do the cooking for you! Check out our top three recommendations where you can order your Gulf Shores Thanksgiving dinner.
1. Rouses Markets
Serving the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, Rouses Markets is one of America’s largest independent grocers. Aside from selling grocery items across its huge chain of supermarkets, Rouses also caters holiday feasts for celebrations such as Thanksgiving.
Whether you’re a small family of four or a bigger group of six or greater, you can be sure that your table will be filled with a scrumptious feast for the occasion. You can have a freshly made oven-roasted turkey, Cajun turkey, or turkey breast dinner delivered by Rouses to your rental home for $49.99 to $89.99. It comes with a cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, gravy, cranberry orange relish, and King’s Hawaiian Roll. However, please note when scheduling your delivery that it may take you an hour or two to reheat the food.
If you prefer ham to turkey for the main dish, you may order Rouses’ spiral ham dinner, which can easily feed four to six people. It also comes with the same side dishes included in the turkey dinner packages.
You can also add a half pan of corn pudding for $30.99 and mac and cheese for $18.99. Want more variety? Not a problem! You can feast upon their mini overstuffed po-boys, which consist of roast beef, ham, and turkey in French bread. And for some local flair, be sure to order a plate of Rouses’ traditional-style shrimp mold, made from seasoned Gulf Shrimp.
And let’s not forget to make your dinner more colorful with a veggie tray of celery, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, broccoli, and baby carrots with Ranch Dip, as well as a fruit tray with an abundance of pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupes, strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries. Complete your holiday feast with an assorted desserts tray for 15 to 20 people, where you can indulge in Petit fours, fudge bites, brownie bites, and mini cupcakes!
