Maybe you’ve already got the turkey handled but want to skip the sides this year (no shame there). Or maybe there’s a vegetarian or turkey-averse relative at the table who deserves something just as special. These local spots make it easy to fill in the gaps, add a few standout dishes, or outsource the entire meal with zero stress.

Copain Bakery
Copain’s holiday menu goes beyond the main event with options like Smoked Turkey Breast, Applewood-Smoked Ham, Au Gratin Potatoes, and Copain Stuffing - but what we really love is their breakfast lineup.
Think quiches, French toast bakes, and croissant boxes... the perfect addition for watching the parade on Thanksgiving morning, or for the morning after, when you want something cozy and buttery before diving back into leftovers.
From fancy dinners uptown to cozy takeout that turns into a feast at home, Charlotte’s restaurants are making it easier than ever to have a relaxing Thanksgiving. Whether you’re letting someone else handle the turkey, ordering just a few standout sides, or snagging a breakfast box for parade morning, there’s no wrong way to do it when it tastes this good.
