Which restaurants are open on Christmas Day?
Morton’s Steakhouse
Treat yourself and your family or friends to a delicious steak and wine dinner at Morton’s this Christmas.
They will be open from 12-9pm. However, it’s recommended that you make a reservation.
They’ll also feature a special holiday menu for $75 per person (minimum of two people), so call your local Morton’s today for the details on their Christmas meal and to get your reservation in.
Waffle House
Wrapping (and opening!) presents can be exhausting. Lucky for you, Waffle House will be open and ready to serve up your smothered and covered hashbrowns and all the waffles you can eat on Christmas.
While almost all locations are open on Christmas day, it’s a good idea to call ahead to check the hours of the one nearest you.
Starbucks
Starbucks has covered you if you’re still craving something caffeinated on Christmas.
Check their store locater for hours and availability.
Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse
Another delicious Steakhouse is also open for Christmas meals.
Head to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for a perfectly cooked steak and sides with a nice wine or champagne.
If you’re gathering at home this Christmas but want to eat some delectable family-sized foods, you can also order ahead and pick it up.
Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse recommends reservations for most days, especially holidays.
Romano’s Macaroni Grill
Got a craving for Italian food instead of traditional Christmas foods?
Head out to Romano’s Macaroni Grill for a delicious Italian feast that will transplant you right into the heart of wine country.
The restaurants will be open during normal hours, but reservations are recommended.
McDonald’s
Sometimes, you have a craving that only the Golden Arches can solve.
Maybe it’s those perfectly salted fries or their infamously good Sprite.
If this happens to you on Christmas, you’re lucky- most of the chain’s restaurants will be open.
However, some may be closed because mostly individual owners run this chain.
You can check their store locater to find out.
IHOP
Another win for breakfast-all-day fans: IHOP will also keep its doors open on Christmas day.
The pancake joint will offer its normal menu, as well as its seasonal menu on Christmas.
So load up your kids and get them hyped up on sugar before you take them to see your grandparents!
Boston Market
If you need a take-out meal sized large enough for the entire family, you’ll want to check with your local Boston Market.
The doors will stay open on Christmas day and take away orders; make sure you call before picking up food to take home.
Applebee’s
If you’re craving a sit-down family meal without worrying about getting dressed up, you can always count on your neighborhood Applebee’s to be open for you on Christmas.
From their seasonal drinks to your year-round favorite appetizers, you’ll be able to get them on Christmas day.
However, the holiday may affect your local chains’ hours, so make sure you call them before you head over.
