Get Ready, Foodies: DFW Restaurant Week Is Back — and Bigger Than Ever!

The wait is almost over! The 29th annual DFW Restaurant Week is coming this August, and it’s bringing more flavor and fun than ever before. What started as just one week of delicious dining deals has grown into a month-long foodie celebration, with 160+ local restaurants offering special menus — all for a great cause.

Mark your calendar: it all kicks off Sunday, August 4 through Saturday, August 10, with many restaurants extending their deals through August 31. Want a sneak peek? Some spots are offering Preview Weekend menus July 31 – August 3.

The best part? Every time you dine, you’re giving back. A portion of proceeds from each prix-fixe meal goes to support the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) and Lena Pope, helping fight hunger and support local families.

What’s on the Menu?

Restaurants will be serving up specially priced, multi-course meals at incredible prices:

  • Dinner: 3 courses for $49 or $59
  • Signature Dinner Experience: $99 for an upgraded VIP menu
  • Lunch & Weekend Brunch: 2 courses for just $29

For every meal sold, $6 to $20 is donated to local charities—and every dollar at NTFB helps provide three full meals. So every bite you take is doing good.

Extra Tasty Perks

This year’s Restaurant Week is packed with special promotions:

  • Free Fourth Course from FedEx Office: Spend $10 at any FedEx Office after July 10 and score a free bonus dinner course.
  • Dinner Giveaways:

  • Staff Appreciation Gallery: Snap a photo, share your thanks, and show love to the hardworking restaurant teams.
  • Uber One Benefits: Save on Uber rides and Uber Eats during Restaurant Week — with extra perks coming September 1.
