Thanksgiving Dinner: What you need to know
The perfect Thanksgiving dinner requires a lot of time and dedication. In many cases, the one cooking stays up all night baking fifty pounds of food, only to have it all eaten in less than an hour. It can be incredibly exhausting. We know… we’ve been there.
That’s why five years ago, we created our Thanksgiving dinner packages.
We wanted to give our customers the opportunity to gather and feast as a family rather than spend the day watching the turkey bake. Our Thanksgiving dinner packages provide the same loving meal; just without the headache and stress.
Here’s what you need to know before ordering your Thanksgiving dinner:
Our small Thanksgiving dinner is designed to serve up to eight guests with one protein choice of either a whole turkey or baked ham. Our large Thanksgiving dinner is designed to serve up to 20 guests and includes a whole turkey and a baked ham.
Each whole turkey is between 10-12 pounds and is seasoned with butter, salt, and pepper. Our knowledgeable chef cleans and dresses each turkey before baking it right here in our shop. The spiral cut baked ham included with the meals is served with a light brown sugar glaze.
Each dinner is served with three side dishes of your choice. Small side dishes can serve up to eight people, with the larger portion serving up to 20. While each meal includes three sides, a la carte items may be added to your order.
Mac-n-cheese
The Mac-Daddy mac-n-cheese is a cheese lovers dream. More than four types of cheeses are layered between creamed butter and al dente noodles. With a few added seasonings and a touch of love, you may want to consider an extra order of this popular side dish.
Cornbread Stuffing
It’s not quite like grandma made it, but our cornbread stuffing is certainly a crowd pleaser. WIth seasoned bread cubes, fresh vegetables, and ample spices, even the most stubborn eaters won’t be able to resist this Thanksgiving dinner staple.
Green Bean Casserole
What would Thanksgiving be without green bean casserole? Everyone in our house would riot for sure. We don’t try to fancy this dish up either. IT is the classic recipe of green beans, creamed soup, fried onions, and seasonings. If your family likes green bean casserole, you may want to consider ordering an extra dish.
Corn Casserole
This popular Thanksgiving dish is a good balance of sweet and salty. Our cornbread formula combines well with a blend of creamed corn and seasonings to create an irresistible flavor. As it bakes, we add a thin layer of cheese to enhance the texture and flavors. If you’ve never tried our corn casserole, order a small side to taste and see what we mean.
Sweet Potato Casserole
We don’t care if you call ‘em yams or sweet potatoes, as long as you put some on our plate! Our sweet potato casserole is a delicate blend of yams, cream, and sweet spices. We top it off with a blend of coconut, brown sugar, and pecans. The crunch and texture of the topping brings out the flavor of the sweet potato.
Mashed Potatoes
It may seem like an easy dish to make, but who wants to spend so much time in the kitchen on Thanksgiving? Our mashed potatoes are creamy, seasoned perfectly, and are never lumpy. Top them off with a bit of our turkey gravy or plop a spoonful on a dinner roll.
Each Thanksgiving dinner package also includes one dozen of our freshly prepared dinner rolls (3dz for large dinners). You can serve them right from the package, or pop them in your oven on low for a few minutes. If you’re a bread loving family, add a couple extra dozen rolls to your order. A la carte options include Butter flake (our family’s favorite), Parker house, Knot, Sour Dough, Pumpernickel, Rye, Wheat, and Seeded dinner rolls.
Small dinners include one pie in your choice of Pumpkin, Apple, or Pecan. Large dinners include three pies in any arrangement of Pumpkin, Apple, and Pecan. Our team of devoted bakers work though the night to serve the freshest and finest pies for your holiday meal.
If you would like to add more pies to your Thanksgiving dinner order, we have a la carte pies such as Cherry, Peach, Mince Meat, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and more. For a full list of pies, see our Thanksgiving Traditions catalog.
Picking up your Thanksgiving dinner
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the second busiest day in our bakery. While we have a full staff that day, you should expect longer wait times than usual. We have made some changes this year to try to expedite the order pick up process. If you have a dinner order, you will be directed where to go when it is your turn.
When you pick up your meal, it will be chilled and should go directly into your refrigerator until you are ready to serve. To reheat your meal follow these instructions:
Turkey: Preheat oven to 325. Remove plastic wrap and leave the turkey in foil pan-do not remove top foil. Heat in oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the foil, carve and enjoy.
Side Orders: To reheat the side dishes, preheat oven to 325. Please remove the top of the container and cover with foil if desired. Reheat side dishes for 30 minutes or until internal temp reaches 185 degrees.
Rolls: Pre-heat oven to 300. Remove the rolls from the package, cover with foil, and heat in the oven 10-15 minutes or until hot.
No matter what you serve or who you choose to prepare your holiday meal, we sincerely hope you spend the day making memories with loved ones. We are incredibly thankful to you and your continued support of our family dream.

Tailgate party season has kicked off for both college and Jaguar football, and that means weekend parties family and friends! Aside from wearing your favorite Jags jersey you also need plenty of food to keep the party going.
And after last week’s Jag’s game against the Chiefs, you may also need a pillow to scream into…
While we can’t help how our team plays on the field, we can certainly make your tailgate party a winner. Before you order foods and treats from multiple restaurants around town, check out our tailgate selections. It may be just what our boys need to turn the game around.
Our sandwich trays are made fresh to order. Each tray includes a selection of freshly sliced deli meats from Thumann’s, including smoked ham, roasted turkey, and slow cooked roast beef. In addition to these three premium meats, some sandwiches will also include our homemade chicken salad. To keep your sandwiches from getting soggy throughout the game, we provide condiments on the side.
Not keen on some of these meat choices?
Not a problem at all. We can certainly customize your sandwich tray to fit your needs. Simply let our sales team know when placing your order, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Okay, massive may be a bit of an exaggeration, but this two-foot long House sub is rather impressive. With two layers of Genoa salami and smoked ham, we then add a generous layer of Provolone cheese. Topped with freshly shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions, and green bell peppers, this sub is a sight to see. Creamy Italian dressing can be served on the side to keep this beast from getting soggy.
If you’re serving more than 12 guests or if you want really big servings, it may be best to order more than one.
Chicken wings and football go together like cheese and pizza. Most people favor the drumstick which is why we offer a tray full of them. These golden drummies of goodness come with a side of our famous homemade ranch dressing too. You can also request additional dipping sauces such as our homemade honey mustard or barbeque.
Quick and easy foods work best for tailgate parties. Our Sausage and Cheese Nibbler provides a quick snack without the mess. Generous portions of sharp cheddar, pepper/jack, and Swiss cheese cubes are included alongside summer sausage slices. Serve this along with a side of sandwich crackers for added flavor. As always, we can customize this tray to fit your needs
While a fruit or vegetable tray may not be the first thing you think of when you hear ‘tailgate party’ it may be something to consider… at least for a minute. With the heavy foods and drinks your guests will be consuming, a little bit of fresh fruit or vegetable may in fact be helpful as the afternoon wears on. The refreshing tastes and textures can revitalize you and your guests so you can kick the party up a notch.
Our fruit trays offer a minimum of five in-season fruit options including grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges, blueberries, and strawberries. You can serve it as is or add a side dish of whipped cream or flavored fruit dip.
Tray selections vary based on what’s in season but often includes carrots, celery, broccoli, and grape tomatoes.
Chips and dips are essential tailgating must-haves. That’s why we offer our Buffalo Chicken and our Spinach dips for your tailgating party. What makes our dips special is that they are made right here in Jacksonville Beach with ingredients you can trust…and pronounce.
Buffalo Chicken Dip is made of shredded white meat chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and Frank’s buffalo sauce. An order of this mildly spicy dip includes a package of our homemade melba toast.
Spinach Dip is made of spinach, artichokes, sour cream, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and special seasonings… it’s John’s secret. He won’t tell. Like it’s spicy counterpart, this dip is served with a package of our melba toast.
Both Dips can be served warm or cold.
Suggested servings for each of the awesome trays listed above:
Small serves 8- 12
Medium serves 16-20
Large serves 26-30
With many more tailgating food options available, it’s hard to list them all in one setting. We encourage you to check out our social media pages for the latest and tastiest foods for you and your guests.

Salads You’ll Actually Like! Our Deli Delights Featured Item
Knowing the nutritional benefits salads offer pushes you to want to eat them more often. But finding a salad you’ll actually like to eat every day can be difficult. Even if you find one you do like, eating the same old salad day in and day out can become boring.
To help win the battle of boring salads, we’ve created four tasty salads that will energize your salad routine and keep you on a healthy eating track.
Southwest Salad
No need to don your boots and spurs for this meal. Our southwest salad is tame enough for any one.
Atop a bed of fresh romaine and spring mix, this salad boasts a generous portion of grilled southwest style chicken and grilled corn. Shredded cheese and black beans combined with sliced grape tomatoes and carrots, our southwest salad has enough power to quell even the hungriest of appetites.
Looking for more southwestern attitude?
Kick this salad up with our homemade jalapeño ranch dressing. The flavors and textures combine to create a fiesta in your mouth. With flavors bursting in every bite, this makes the list of salads you’ll actually like to eat rather than have to eat.
Caesar Salad
Caesar salad can be a hit or miss item in any deli or restaurant. Thankfully, ours is always a homerun.
Served on a bed of freshly chopped romaine lettuce, our Caesar salad is topped with grilled chicken, homemade croutons, and parmesan cheese. If you’re wanting a bit more texture, substitute fried chicken strips instead.
And since our Caesar dressing is served on the side, there’s no need to worry about us drenching your salad in too much dressing.
Chef Salad
With a balanced blend of romaine lettuce and spring mix, our chef salad is full of nutrients. Fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots increase the health factor as well. And with the addition of ham and turkey rolls as well as protein rich boiled eggs, this salad will keep you full for a while.
If you’re in the mood for grilled or fried chicken on your salad, we’re happy to swap out the proteins. Top this one off with one of our many dressing choices to create daily salads you’ll actually like to eat at every meal.
Salad Plate
As a tasty twist in conventional salads, our salad plate offers a mixed variety of flavors. On a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce and sliced whole tomatoes, we pile three whopping scoops of salads of your choice.
Choose from one of our originals such as chicken salad, tuna, egg salad, potato, pasta, and macaroni.
The best part of this menu item is the ability to customize it to your own liking. If you only want chicken salad, you’ve got it. Two scoops of tuna, one macaroni? Not a problem at all.
The diversity our Salad Plate offers allows you to switch up flavors and textures each day.
Salad Dressings
Each salad we offer can be customized to fit your taste and nutritional needs. While some salads are designed to be served with a specific dressing, we’re always happy to accommodate a substitute.
Our daily salad dressing choices include:
- Homemade Ranch
- 1000 Island
- Creamy Italian
- Oil & Vinegar
- Honey Mustard
- Balsamic Vinaigrette
Is it possible to create salads you’ll actually like?
Most salads are created equal. That’s probably why many people view them as the boringest meal ever!
Switching up your salad choices each day is important. Not only will you be eating healthier, you’re taste buds will thank you as well.
So if you’re looking for fun, yet healthy (ish) salads you’ll actually like, why not check out one of our fun salads this week.
We’re pretty sure you’ll enjoy every bite.

National Hot Dog Day!
July 18th is National Hot Dog Day and we’ve got a hot deal for you.
For this one day, our hot dogs will be Buy One Get One free. That’s right, two hot dogs for the price of one! And, just because it’s National Hot Dog Day, we’re not skimping on the size either. We’re giving away the same 4-ounce, all beef hot dogs you get in our sandwich shop all year long.
We do have a slight twist though.
While we won’t be skimping on the size, we will ADD a wide selection of toppings. We’ll also be baking up fresh buns in a variety of flavors.
On July 18th only, you can get any of our hot dogs with any toppings for this incredible deal.
National Hot Dog Day Options
Aside from our basic hot dog, in honor of this All-American holiday, we’ll be offering four premium hot dog combinations. We’ll have Chili Cheese Dogs– everyone’s favorite. A Slaw Dog– the Southern classic. A Chicago Dog and a Reuben Dog.
The only trouble will be deciding which one to try first.
Basic Hot Dog
There’s nothing basic about these dogs. We use Thumann’s 4-ounce all beef hot dogs. There are no fillers or by-products so you can be sure you’re getting the very best. We only use bread baked fresh every morning in our bakery. With fresh bread and the best quality all beef hot dog, you know you’re getting the good stuff in every bite.
Our Basic hot dog toppings include:
Mayonnaise, Mustard, Ketchup, Relish, Chopped Onions, & Cheese.
Of course, you can add other toppings too.
Chili Cheese Dog
On your choice of any of our freshly baked buns, we’ll pile our homemade chili over two slices of American cheese. Add onions if you’d like, we’ve got those too.
Want more chili?
Add a side of chili cheese fries to your order. Just be sure to grab a cold drink or an iced cookie to cool your taste buds.
You can also check out this video on how to eat a chili dog while you wait.
Slaw Dog
With the popularity of coleslaw and hot dogs, there are very few Southerners who don’t know about the Slaw Dog. Served on your choice of bun, we’ll pile our sweet slaw onto the all-beef dog. And, you can add any of the basic toppings you’d like at no extra charge.
Grab a Hummingbird Cupcake to top off this truly southern delight.
Chef Salad
With a balanced blend of romaine lettuce and spring mix, our chef salad is full of nutrients. Fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots increase the health factor as well. And with the addition of ham and turkey rolls as well as protein rich boiled eggs, this salad will keep you full for a while.
If you’re in the mood for grilled or fried chicken on your salad, we’re happy to swap out the proteins. Top this one off with one of our many dressing choices to create daily salads you’ll actually like to eat at every meal.
Chicago Dog
Our version of a Chicago style dog will be pretty close to the original. On a poppy seed bun, we’ll top these dogs with mustard, chopped onions, tomato slices and pickle spears.
And don’t worry, we’ll layer them just right so you taste every element in each bite.
Hot Dog! What a Day
As American as baseball and apple pie, hot dogs are Summer’s signature meal. Americans consume more than one million hot dogs on July 4th alone. So, it’s only fitting that the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council dubbed the third Wednesday in July National Hot Dog Day.
While we’re not sure everyone will eat a hot dog every day this month, perhaps you could consider enjoying the iconic summer sandwich on National Hot Dog Day.
Whether you spread your condiments on your bun or squirt them directly on your dog, we’re ready to celebrate with you.
Swing in all day on July 18th to share in this All-American holiday.
