Got the turkey supper for $275+tax. Easy meal for 15 ppl no problem. Absolutely everything you would want and need + a legit cake. Great value and uniquely seasoned and prepared turkey (cardemen, cinnamon, bay leaves, all spice.....) pretty much a shawarma turkey...... im in love. Gonna get this every year till death.
