OAK LAWN, IL — Not everyone in Oak Lawn wants to spend hours preparing a Christmas feast, some families are on the road and others with holiday vacations coming up are looking for restaurants open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Most restaurants are closed on Christmas Day, but plenty also stay open for business to serve those who don’t celebrate the holiday or who would rather focus on their family and friends rather than cooking an elaborate, multi-course meal.

As always, Patch encourages you to call any restaurant on this list in advance to double-check hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Here are the local restaurants that plan to be open. Don’t forget to tip your server.
