Maybe you're exhuasted and don't want to cook Christmas dinner or maybe you don't celebrate? You're in luck. Here are some of the many restaurants open on Christmas Day according to Food Network.
- Applebee’s: get “fancy like” Christmas Day – and perhaps get in the spirit with a $5 “Sleigh Bell Sip,” complete with a gummy wreath. Hours and availability will vary from store to store so check first.
- Arby’s: That’s right – on Christmas Day, you can still get “The Meats!” Again, many are open, but not all. So check if your fave location is good to go.
- Boston Market: Call ahead to be sure, but if your Boston Market is open they go all-out, with feasts-for-three, hand-carved ham and turkey, plenty of sides and you can even take advantage of catering or heat-and-serve meals.
- Buffalo Wild Wings: Store hours will vary, but imagine being able to ‘unwrap’ a platter of wings to switch things up on Christmas Day?
- Del Taco: Many locations are open if you’re craving “Jingle Bell Guac.”
- Denny’s: They’re always open, and Christmas is no exception.
- Domino’s Pizza: Maybe you just want pizza. Domino’s delivers even on Christmas (check your local stores).
- Dunkin: Why not hit Dunkin’ for some of their famous donuts for Christmas breakfast, and then hit them again for their delicious sandwiches later on?
- Fogo de Chao: if it’s barbecue you want, ALL Fogo de Chao locations are open 11a-9p on Christmas.
- Perkins Restaurant & Bakery: they do holiday dinners like mom used to, with turkey and an assortment of pies to choose from.
- Romano’s Macaroni Grill: This Christmas, go Italian with their famous menu full of classics from Italy – like calamari, chicken parm, and lasagna. Mangiare!
- Ruth’s Chris Steak House: This famous steakhouse is already taking reservations for Christmas Day. They also do take out, so don’t miss out.
- Shoney’s: They know what you really want at Shoney’s – an ALL YOU CAN EAT Christmas Day Feast! Doors open at 11am, and you’ll choose from a huge holiday menu including slow-roasted turkey, sliced ham and tons of sides.
- Starbucks: Most stores will be open Dec. 25th, but hours will vary by location.
- Waffle House: famous for being open unless there’s a natural disaster, Christmas Day is no different.
