Christmas Eve & Christmas Day Dining 2020

December 18, 2020 By Lisa Grigsby

Restaurant dining this December looks like most of 2020: dining outdoors where possible and getting takeout or delivery. This holiday season, local restaurants are ramping up their offerings up with special menus for holiday dining. There are feasts with traditional roast turkey or ham as the centerpiece as well as modern twists on festive meals.

This curated list isn’t an exhaustive list, so we encourage you to contact your favorite spot and inquire about their holiday celebration menus. Our local restaurants need your support more than ever. We’ll be updating this story as more restaurants reveal their plans.

For all those folks who may not celebrate Christmas, or just don’t want to cook that day, there are indeed a few restaurants that will be open for your dining pleasure. Of course you can always dine at Waffle House- they never close, but no matter where you dine out, please remember that the staff of these places have given up their holiday to serve you, so please tip generously, as working on a holiday is never fun, but should at least be profitable for those away from their families.
