Where to get a Thanksgiving meal to go, including WheatFields prices
WheatFields takeout starts at $19.99 for a single dinner, with a Saturday, Nov. 21, 3 p.m. cutoff. Texas de Brazil serves dinner from 11 a.m. Thanksgiving Day at $54.99.

If you want Thanksgiving dinner without cooking the whole spread, several Omaha and Council Bluffs kitchens have posted 2026 prices. The newest priced takeout option is WheatFields Eatery & Bakery. The newest priced dine-out option downtown is Texas de Brazil.
WheatFields is taking Thanksgiving takeout orders for pickup Monday, Nov. 23, Tuesday, Nov. 24, or Wednesday, Nov. 25. The cutoff is Saturday, Nov. 21, at 3 p.m. A single turkey dinner in a 6×13 pan is $19.99. Larger TV pans are $29.99 (feeds 1 to 3) and $39.99 (feeds 4 to 5). A 5-pound boneless roast turkey breast, about six or more servings, is $99.99. Cool pies are $25.99, gluten-free pies $29.99, and side pints $7.99. Email the order form to nowcatering@yahoo.com. Food comes cold, with warming instructions.
One gap is worth planning around: the form and the linked PDF do not say which bakery handles pickup. WheatFields lists bakeries at 1224 South 103rd Street (103rd and Pacific) in Omaha and at 189th and Maple in Elkhorn. Ask when you order, rather than assuming one location.
Texas de Brazil, at 1110 Capitol Ave., opens early on Thanksgiving, from 11 a.m., serving its dinner menu at $54.99, or $31.99 for the salad area only. Kids’ prices with a full-price meal are on the Omaha location page. A holiday closing time is not posted, and the page says hours may vary during holidays, so ask when you reserve. The restaurant’s weekday happy hour is not valid on restaurant holidays, including Thanksgiving.
Already on the list: Beacon Hills in Aksarben Village (a $32 turkey dinner, a $119 dinner for four to go, pies from $28, with a Monday, Nov. 23, phone cutoff), Gorat’s first Thanksgiving buffet ($50 adults, $28 kids 11 and under; serving times not posted), Terra Gaucha open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at holiday pricing, Ameristar’s $44.99 buffet in Council Bluffs, and several earlier takeout and buffet listings. Fleming’s on Regency Parkway is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. that day without a holiday prix-fixe price on the location page. The Orleans Room at the Kimpton Cottonwood has posted a buffet from noon to 6 p.m. but not a price.
Dante’s Thanksgiving-to-go page still has weekday and date combinations that do not match 2026, so it is not included. Big Mama’s 2026 holiday-catering page still has no prices. Johnny’s Cafe is open Thanksgiving but still has no price on its own page. Prices and cutoffs above are from each merchant’s own page, checked Nov. 13, 2026. Confirm before you order.
