Balduccis Bethesda location has been a logistical nightmare picking up on Thanksgiving morning the last two years. Not doing it again this year.

I just ordered a turkey from Honeybaked for Christmas. They had cajun, smoked, and regular. Fingers crossed!


Their Turkey is so processed. It’s like a big hunk of deli meat.

I checked the site this morning, for delivery, sold out.

I always miss the window to order. I’ve heard nothing but good things. Oh, well. Better luck next year.


You can just walk in and buy one. It's much cheaper too.

We did Maggianos last year and it was really good. My kids liked that there was pasta. It was a LOT of food.

I'd get pies at any of these except Whole Foods (no personal experience). I think Balduccis is a bit overpriced for pies - but good!

any best pies?

Check out Chalkboard Wings & BBQ in Mount Vernon. They have a Thanksgiving menu that looks yummy.

Agree Whole Foods is not great.

We did Whole Foods one year and it was so bland. We were shocked because the food at the hot bar is always fine.

Ridgewells is amazing. Also Hill Country BBQ.
