Posted by Kat Robinson on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 1:59 PM

I thought it was hard to find a place to eat on Thanksgiving… but I was wrong. Most Central Arkansas restaurants are going to be closed on Christmas Day. The few I’ve been able to scare up:

Ashley’s at the Capital Hotel is offering breakfast only, regular menu service 6-10 a.m. Reservations suggested. (501) 374-7474.

Capital Bar and Grill, meanwhile, is keeping normal hours and will be open all day Christmas, with complimentary valet.

Capriccio’s at the Peabody Hotel is apparently offering a brunch, but details have yet to be forthcoming.

The Riverfront Steakhouse at the Wyndham in North Little Rock is offering Chirstmas Brunch 11 a.m.-2 p.m. $24.99 adults/$12.99 kids. Reservations are suggested. (501) 371-9000.

Opal Mae’s in Russellville is doing another prime rib and holiday fixings buffet for reservations only. Call for your time…
