Our Favorite Restaurants Now Offering Take Out
Last Updated September 20, 2020
Check for special menus as these restaurants temporarily offer to-go and takeout. We're trying to track full re-openings after 5/11, but don't always have the info. Some hours have changed so call ahead and/or check social media for the latest. Restaurants that offer both takeout and dine in are noted with a green knife and fork.
Is take-out food safe? See https://www.seriouseats.com/2020/03/food-safety-and-coronavirus-a-comprehensive-guide.html?
