Local food lovers, rejoice — it’s almost time to indulge for a cause! The 29th annual DFW Restaurant Week, North Texas’ largest and longest-running culinary event, returns this August with more than 140 participating restaurants offering delicious prix fixe meals, all while supporting two vital local charities: North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) and Lena Pope.
No longer just a weeklong event, DFW Restaurant Week 2025 spans nearly the entire month, running August 4–31, with a Preview Weekend July 31–August 3 at select restaurants. Diners can enjoy exclusive three-course dinners for $49 or $59, two-course lunches or brunches for $29 and elevated Signature Experience dinners for $99 — with approximately 20% of each meal’s price donated to either NTFB or Lena Pope, depending on the restaurant’s location.
Southlake-area favorites participating this year include Del Frisco’s Grille, Jellico’s & Curve Lounge, Kirby’s Prime Steakhouse, Ferah Tex-Med, Moxies and The Henley Kitchen & Bar. Also on the list are Grapevine’s Ferrari’s Italian Villa, Mac’s on Main, Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille, Bacchus Kitchen + Bar and Keller Chophouse.
In 2024, the campaign raised over $740,000 in charitable donations, with $209,451 benefiting Lena Pope in Tarrant County and $530,632 supporting NTFB’s hunger relief efforts. For every dollar donated, NTFB can provide three nutritious meals to North Texans in need.
“DFW Restaurant Week is a delicious way for our community to take action against hunger,” says Trisha Cunningham, President and CEO of Lena Pope.
Your participation truly makes a difference,” adds Dr. Ashley Barnes, CEO of Lena Pope. “Helping ensure families have access to critical counseling, education, and behavioral support.
