Sweet Potato Pancakes at Locavore at Potawatomi Hotel and Casino
While many people cook traditional holiday meals every year, there are lots of families that prefer to dine at a restaurant on Christmas. You might be surprised to learn that there are a good number of them open, and even more bars are open Christmas night for even more merriment. Here are a list of just some of the restaurants serving Christmas dinner.
Big Daddy's Brew & Cue in Bayshore Town Center is serving up smoked ham or turkey dinners with all the fixings and pumpkin pie for dessert.
The Pfister will be offering their brunch buffet on Christmas day from 10am-2pm.
Not to be outdone, Kil@wat will also be serving brunch, from 7am-2pm. I hope Santa is an early riser.
Mason Street Grill will be having a prix fixe dinner menu with roast turkey and prime rib.
Miller Time Pub will be open normal business hours on Christmas day, just in case you need a burger fix and a cold one.
All of the restaurants at Potawatomi Hotel and Casino will be open on Christmas.

Blackwolf Run will have a buffet from 11am-5pm; Cucina, The Immigrant and Horse & Plow will have their regular menus; and The Wisconsin Room will have brunch 9am-1pm and a 3-course dinner from 4-8pm. Brunch is well worth the drive.
