Where can I eat dinner on Christmas Day? That’s a common question for those who aren’t planning to cook! Diners in the Charlotte area can cross a stress-free Christmas dinner off their holiday wish list. A number of restaurants serve a special Christmas Eve or Christmas Day menu. And others are open with their regular menu.
Most restaurants on this list offer take-out and/or delivery.
We are including restaurants at various price points, but skipping the really, really pricey ones.
Make sure to check to see if the meal is just on Christmas Eve, so you don’t show up hungry on Christmas Day at a closed restaurant. If not noted otherwise here, the restaurant IS open on Christmas Day.
Do you know of other restaurants that should be on the list? Email jody@charlotteonthecheap.com with the scoop and we’ll add them, as time permits.
If you want to enjoy your dinner at home, and you’re looking at this earlier enough, check out this list of places to order Christmas dinner in advance to reheat at home.
