I'll be in the Springs for Christmas. Is there anything special as far as restaurants?

You mean as far as the legality of carrying into a restaurant? Or are you asking which restaurants are good?
I'll go ahead and answer both. As far as carrying in a restaurant, there's no problem. Heck, you can even open carry into a bar here as long as you don't drink.
One restaurant you have to go to is Rock Bottom off of Powers. Get the Brewer's Club with the Stout Onion Soup. You will not be sorry!

| I've done it and have never had any problems. In the stores that I have open carried into, no one seemed to have noticed.

I open carry in C/S all the time with no issue. I have been asked if I was a Police officer and I say no there is no law saying I cant, so I do.
I was thinking about O/C in the Chapill Hills Mall since I have never seen a sign saying I cant. Any insight to this?

There are a couple of first-hand reports of OC encounters at Chapel Hills being met with security and told to leave. Similarly I read of someone who called the mall manager about a well hidden "firearms prohibited" sign at the mall entrance. The mall manager checked with HQ in Chicago (go figure....) and said "no guns even concealed with a valid permit".
I haven't set foot in either mall in quite a long time in part because I don't like them anyway. This is just one more reason....
If you feel like pushing the issue, give it a try and let us know how it turns out.

Laylow, I was in the Springs last year and carried everywhere I went including restuarants. I was carrying my Springfield 1911-a1, stainless steel so it wasn't hard to see. I had no problems. Not even a second glance. All the same, lEO's might try to hassel you so be cool.
