From August 1 through September 1, 2025, Houston Restaurant Weeks brings 32 days of delicious dining deals while raising critical funds for the Houston Food Bank. The annual event features specially priced multi-course menus at top local restaurants, all for a good cause.
Houston Restaurant Weeks, the city's largest food festival, takes place from August 1 to September 1, 2025.
It is 32 days of food-themed charity events. Some of the city's most famous restaurants are offering specially priced multi-course prix fixe menus that will benefit the Houston Food Bank, the largest food bank in the country by distribution volume.
Many restaurants in the Greater Houston area offer a $25 brunch and lunch meal, as well as $39 or $55 dinner menus, allowing you to choose between dine-in or take-out options. Every meal sold benefits the Houston Food Bank, which provides food to people in 18 southeast Texas counties.
Texas Restaurant Weeks has raised over $22 million in the past 21 years, funding more than 60 million meals for those in need. The late Cleverley Stone, a renowned food writer known as the "Diva of Dining," started the event. Through her "Dine Out & Do Good" program, Stone dedicated her life to combating hunger.
She was 68 years old and had been sick with cancer for a long time. She died on May 28, 2020. In her final moments, she requested that Houston Restaurant Weeks be named after her. Katie Stone, her daughter, continued with the Cleverley Stone Foundation in her name. It now hosts the event and continues to support the Houston Food Bank as its primary goal.
Houston Restaurant Weeks is a multifaceted event. Not only does the event raise a significant amount of money for food relief, but it also provides a substantial boost to the local restaurant business during the typically slow summer months.
The Houston Food Bank still gets the most money each year from Houston Restaurant Weeks and its sister event, Eat Drink HTX. HoustonRestaurantWeeks.com has a list of participating places and their menus. Thecleverleystonefoundation.org is where you can make donations to the Cleverley Stone Foundation.
Cleverley Stone once said, "Eat out and do good." People in Houston can use their love of food as a strong force for change again this August.
