26 Oct 2009 Options available for holiday meals
Mike’s Place
For the second year, one of Downtown Conway’s finest dining establishments will offer carryout Thanksgiving meals as well as a spectacular dining experience on New Year’s Eve.
Chef John McNamara is the contact to place your pick-up order. The dining room will not be open on Thanksgiving Day, so you’ll want to plan ahead.
It’s a very busy place during the holidays as many want to “deck the halls” with Mike’s Place as our “chef du la season.”
Mather Lodge Restaurant
Traditionally, the Thanksgiving Day Feast atop Petit Jean Mountain has been a sellout crowd. Chef Robert Justice and Sous Chef Kate Saunders prepare a Thanksgiving buffet with an amazing array of culinary favorites.
The lemon ice box pie will be a “forever favorite.” The restaurant opens for breakfast at 7 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day and lunch begins at 10:30 a.m.
The meal is offered on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations required. The price is about $15 per person. Christmas dining is also an option — those plans are in the making at this time.
For more information, please call 501.727.5431.
Cross Creek Sandwich Shop
If you’ve not visited this charming and quaint tea room-like atmosphere, you will want to go during the holiday season.
Located inside Jenifer’s Antiques at 1003 Oat St. in Downtown Conway, this delightful respite from the hustle-bustle of the season will offer a lighter array of soup and sandwiches and wonderful homemade desserts.
Chris Jennings will give you all the dessert choices for your holiday table. To order ahead of time is the only route to go.
