Wichita restaurants offering buffets, plated meals, family meals to-go for Easter 2021
In 2019 (and for many years before that), Easter brunch in Wichita restaurants was largely served buffet style.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was new, and restaurants were offering Easter meals to-go only.
Now, a year later, it’s a little bit of all of the above — and then some. A few restaurants have resumed buffet service for Easter Sunday. Several others are offering plated meals. And still others are sticking to the family meals to-go model.
Here are some of your options if you want a restaurant to make your Easter Sunday meal in Wichita. Let me know if I’ve missed anyone by emailing dneil@wichitaeagle.com.
