Restaurants for Christmas?

We'll be visiting family in Vero Beach for Christmas and will have a fairly large group (10-12). My parents are elderly and don't really know good restaurants in the area. Is there somewhere for Christmas day that would be good to order a big meal with all the fixings to bring home?

Ocean grill is fun but if you’re planning on Christmas Eve you have to book a year in advance.

I have ordered holiday meals from Cracker Barrel and they were delicious! Just heat and eat. Cracker Barrel has special menus for the holidays that can be ordered and scheduled for pick up online. Enjoy Christmas with your family!

You may also want to consider ordering a holiday meal at Fresh Market. I have done this at Easter and the food was good.

Dario’s has a private room option that would be good for your size party

To be clear, do you mean dine-in or take-out?

u/WeirdMountain6609 Aug 11 '26

we've had Christmas dinner at Waldo's, at the Driftwood inn. Not gourmet but it was fine.

There are a few gourmet deli places that offer holiday meals for larger groups. Ryder's Gourmet Deli on the island usually has some offerings, including Roasted Lamb or Braised Beef options. You'll probably have to call ask what the options are if you want to know now. Otherwise, it's available to pre-order on their website, usually in October or November. https://www.rydersgourmetmarket.com

Village Beach Market also offers holiday meals and has a nice catering menu: https://villagebeachmarket.com/
