Several local restaurants to stay open for Christmas

Sometimes cooking for the holidays can be a hassle. Luckily, a variety of restaurants will be open Christmas Day for those in need of a meal.

Locations of restaurants of all price ranges will be available for lunch and dinner. Some chain restaurants like Applebee’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Denny’s, Dominos, iHOP, and McDonalds will be open or offering heat-and-eat on Christmas.

For more expensive options, restaurants at all 12 Coast casinos will be open on Christmas. Many hotels have restaurants, such as the White House Hotel, and those will be open as well. White House Hotel General Manager Randy Fanugao said, “We’ve been enjoying it for the last seven years, and everyone is welcome back to the property and enjoy our fantastic Christmas Day brunch. It’s bringing back the tradition or keeping the tradition alive here at the White House Hotel.”

It’s best to call ahead to make sure the restaurant is open and to make reservations at those restaurants that accept them.
