Thanksgiving, a time to express gratitude and thanks, is also an occasion where a lot of time and energy goes into cooking numerous dishes to feed your family. This can be stressful for some, and others may simply not have the time to prepare such a large meal.

So why not let someone else cook it for you? This article gives you five Long Island eateries that are offering dinner services for Thanksgiving, as well as catering for those who still want to eat in the comfort of their own home.

The first restaurant offering a delicious Thanksgiving meal is Claudio’s Tavern & Grill located in Greenport. The restaurant is excited to kick off the holiday season with their second annual bountiful Thanksgiving buffet. From noon to 6 p.m., you can skip cooking for your family and enjoy a traditional feast with a beautiful water view in downtown Greenport. Kids can also enjoy activities such as an arts and crafts station and a festive cider station with delicious beverages for both children and adults. With options for parties of all sizes, they will be serving dinner for $75 for adults, $35 for children ages 3-10, and children three-and-under eat free.
