Area Restaurants’ Schedules for the Holidays
Not everyone has a family with which to spend the holidays, or the health and strength to put together a holiday meal.
Ark Valley Voice conducted a survey of dining establishments in Chaffee County and Lake County, to compile a list of options for those who might need meal options to a home-cooked meal. For those dealing with illness, or alone, there are several restaurants trying to give Chaffee residents dining options.
We’ve listed them below by restaurant location, hours, and whether they are open for Christmas Day or evening. We didn’t specifically ask them about ordering meals for take-out; but if they regularly do take-out, that should certainly be an option for those needing a meal who would rather eat it at home by the tree.
