TBH, the main thing that gets us through the craziness of holidays is the food. We love food. But if you aren’t about preparing food for 5 siblings, 10 nieces and nephews, 4 in-laws, 2 grandparents, 6 aunts and uncles, etc. etc., then these restaurants are about to be your saving grace. Here’s a list of restaurants in Western New York that will prepare a stress-free (for the most part, we can’t control what your Aunt Susie says after all) holiday dinner for you and the fam.

They have a “Deep Dish Apple Crumb” for dessert, were you ever going to make that at home?! Didn’t think so. For $49/person, everyone will enjoy a starter, entree, and dessert (AKA an amazing deep dish apple crumb or pumpkin pie). Seriously, the rest of the menu sounds just as delicious as the desserts.

We’re seriously considering canceling any plans we have and booking a reservation here. There Christmas Day menu sounds amazing. From 1pm to 8pm, SEAR Steakhouse will be serving dishes like Farm-raised New Zealand Lamb, Seared Ahi Tuna, and Prime Rib from the U.S.’s top ranches — we’re sorry fam, but we just can’t pull that off on our own.
Pearl Street Grill

Okay so technically speaking, this isn’t a dinner. Okay it’s not a dinner at all. It’s a party, a great party. So after your fancy dinners and all that family time, head over to Pearl Street for their annual, 4 stories of joy, Christmas party.
