There's no shortage of places selling great burgers for takeout and delivery in Philly. Burg's Hideaway Lounge in Point Breeze, SpOt Gourmet Burgers in Brewerytown and Bad Brother in Fairmount are some personal favs. And there are tons of barbecue options, too, including Mike's BBQ and Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse.

But if you want more of a cookout vibe with all the fixings for Memorial Day – and don't want to/can't do all the cooking yourself – then you'll want to shop these holiday offerings.

Below are a few restaurants selling meal kits and barbecue specials for Memorial Day.

The kit must be pre-ordered by 4 p.m. on Friday for pickup at the restaurant between 10 a.m. and noon on Sunday. When ordering online, make sure to choose a pickup time during that window on Sunday to see the selection of Memorial Day items.

There are three meal kits to choose from, ranging in price from $100 to $150. Options include swordfish kabobs, barbecue chicken and wagyu steak. Grilling instructions for each protein is included, or you can ask for a fully-prepared box.
