Prefer to enjoy Easter in sweatpants or with zero stress about cooking? These Houston restaurants have you covered with chef-prepared carryout meals. From slow-smoked barbecue to bakery bundles and seafood boils, here’s where to pick up a holiday spread with plenty of time for the backyard egg hunt.

Balboa Surf Club
For a meal reminiscent of a hug from mom, consider Balboa Surf Club’s two whole roasted chickens ($50) over creamed corn, plus a side of off-menu Parker House rolls ($20). The to-go menu also features favorites like poached Patagonia salmon ($150), coconut shrimp ($45), and jalapeno salad ($30), all serving up to six. Cap it off with the cuatro leches cake ($70).

Common Bond Coffee & Bakery
Start the day with Common Bond’s Easter Breakfast Pastry Bundle ($20), packed with an Easter bun, chocolate croissant, morning bun, blueberry muffin, and two classic croissants. Cinnamon rolls get a bunny-rific makeover with whimsical Easter Buns ($5), iced cinnamon rolls with festive sprinkles. Both the buns and the bundles are available at Common Bond Coffee & Bakery locations from now until April 20. For an eye-catching centerpiece, preorder the carrot cake ($40) with cream cheese icing and floral decor for pickup April 18–20 at Bistro locations and On-The-Go MarqE.

Crawfish Cafe
It may be called a Bunny Boil, but no bunnies were harmed in Crawfish Cafe’s $34 seafood feast. The restaurant’s Easter special of crawfish (1lb), shrimp (1/2lb), black mussels (1lb), corn, and potatoes is available for carryout or dine-in at each of its five locations. Even better, 20 percent of sales benefit Kids’ Meals, a local nonprofit fighting child hunger. The Bunny Boil is available April 19-21.

Nothing says Easter in Houston quite like egg-shaped conchitas. El Bolillo Bakery is going all out with a lineup of conchitas ($20 for 25), sugar cookies ($30 for 12), and vanilla cake pops dipped in white chocolate ($20 for 6). Add El Bolillo’s famous tres leches cake to the Easter meal with a 6-inch flower basket cake filled with strawberry mousse and topped with florals and a bunny ($35). Traditional capirotada, a Lenten bread pudding with peanuts, raisins, coconut, and cheese, is also available ($40–$80). Preorders are open, and pickup is available from now until Easter Sunday.

Kolache Shoppe
The revered kolache can be a part of the Easter celebration with Kolache Shoppe's pastries.
