Easter Dinner Made Easy — Dine-in or Takeout
Posted: March 27, 2023
Celebrate Your Easter Get Together With these Local Restaurants
Take it easy this Easter Sunday.
Skip the cooking. Forget babysitting that ham, mashing the potatoes and rolling up all those piggies. Instead, make your special Sunday all about relaxing with family and friends, watching the kids hunt for plastic eggs and sneaking a few (ok, about 25) bunny smidgens. Don’t worry. We’re not judging (nor are we tattling).
Enjoy quality time this Easter. Whether you’re grabbing that brunch feast to go, or donning your Sunday best and hitting the town, we’ve found a few local restaurants to help you make the most of your holiday festivities. They’ve got it all covered, from the ham and sides right down to the carrot cake. And you don’t have to bother with dirty pots and pans.
We’re talking family-sized meals and catering trays that can feed the whole house. All you have to do is show up, or place your order and pick it up. Just be sure to check with restaurants ahead of time for reservations or procedures for takeout orders.
