What To Bring To Friendsgiving

Friendsgiving celebrations have become extremely popular as it is a great chance to reconnect with friends over plates of comfort food.

Holiday parties take a lot of preparation, but we have you covered with our Farmhouse Feast®. It's a complete holiday meal packed cold and ready to heat, serve and enjoy with friends. Best of all, you can have it delivered (where available)!

Whether you're hosting the celebration or joining friends, check out our ideas of what to bring to your Friendsgiving this year.

Comforting Sides

If you want to let someone else tackle the turkey but still want to impress your friends, plan on bringing a crowd-pleasing side.

Not only does bringing a side dish take away one dish someone else has to cook, but it can often be a major crowd pleaser at your Thanksgiving. Best of all, you can easily order classic sides to go like buttered corn, bread and celery dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans with ham, or a heaping portion of our creamy special recipe macaroni and cheese.

The Main Meal

Preparing the main attraction can come with a lot of unwanted pressure. If you want to alleviate some of the pressure and enjoy your Friendsgiving stress-free, let Bob Evans prepare a turkey or ham for you.

We consider ourselves experts in homestyle, down-on-the-farm cooking. We’ve been preparing turkey and ham 364 days of the year so you could say we have our recipe down to a science. Our slow-roasted turkey is slow-roasted in the kitchen for hours with our savory blend of herbs and spices while our hickory-smoked ham is smoked and cooked to perfection in our signature glaze.

Let us prepare the main attraction (your secret is safe with us), and we’ll let you take all the credit. No strings attached.

Sweet Endings

Every Friendsgiving guest will love having plenty of desserts to choose from. Bring a fresh loaf of Bob Evans pumpkin bread, or a freshly-baked pumpkin or apple pie.

All of our bakery items are prepared fresh daily, you can count on our pumpkin bread being baked to perfection and perfectly sweet, while our pumpkin pie is a traditional seasonal favorite packed with tasty pumpkin and just a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Finish it off with a whipped topping and you’re set.

If you want to switch it up from the traditional pumpkin flavor, our double-crust apple pie is filled with crisp, tart Michigan apples and cinnamon and then baked to crispy, flaky perfection and drizzled with caramel. We can promise your friends won’t be able to resist.

The Extras

A Bob Evans Farmhouse Feast even comes with the “extras”. If you signed up to bring bread or rolls, we got you covered.

Need cups, plates, silverware, or napkins? Ask for a few when you come into your local Bob Evans store to pick up your feast.

This Friendsgiving, let us take care of the cooking so you have more time to spend with your friends.
