Update, Nov. 22, 4 p.m.: Due to rising COVID-19 numbers, L.A. County Public Health is shutting down outdoor dining for at least three weeks, effective Nov. 25 at 10 p.m. The following pickup and delivery options will still be permitted, but outdoor dining will be unavailable. If you’ve made a reservation, we’d suggest contacting the restaurant to see if pickup is an option. We’ll update this list with what those restaurants are doing as we hear from them.

Though it isn’t the ideal time to travel to or host family gatherings, those who celebrate Thanksgiving can still get a hot meal at one of L.A.’s local restaurants. Many are offering outdoor dining on Thanksgiving Day, or take-home meals you can pre-order and pick up. There are many choices for turkey with all the usual sides, as well as some fun options if you’re looking for something a little different.
