43 TARRANT COUNTY RESTAURANTS TO PARTICIPATE IN HISTORIC 30th ANNUAL DFW RESTAURANT WEEK, AUG. 10 – SEPT. 7, 2026

Forty-three (43) of Tarrant County’s finest dining destinations are gearing up for a major milestone this summer: the historic 30th anniversary edition of DFW Restaurant Week. When folks dine out at participating local restaurants, 20 percent of their meal will benefit Lena Pope, the 96-year-old Fort Worth-based nonprofit dedicated to strengthening children and families through counseling, education, and behavior intervention programs.

The month-long culinary celebration officially kicks off the week of Monday, Aug. 10 and runs through Labor Day on Sept. 7, following a special Preview Weekend scheduled for Aug. 6–9. Renowned as North Texas’ largest annual culinary event and the nation’s second-longest-running restaurant week campaign, this highly anticipated tradition seamlessly blends fine dining with community impact.

Participating Tarrant-area restaurants will showcase specially curated three-course prix fixe dinner menus for either $49 or $59. Select locations will also offer two-course lunch or weekend brunch options for $29. For the event’s 30th anniversary, restaurants may offer an exclusive "Signature Experience Dinner" for $99, featuring unique VIP elements such as chef's table perks, specialized courses, or signature cocktails.

Since first partnering with DFW Restaurant Week in 1998, Lena Pope has received more than $3.3 million from the annual dining tradition. During the 2025 event alone, DFW Restaurant Week raised a total of $681,327 across the region, with $176,092 directly benefiting Lena Pope. Since its inception in 1996, the annual fundraiser has raised more than $13 million for its North Texas charity partners to support family services and combat hunger.

“As one of our largest annual fundraisers, DFW Restaurant Week is absolutely vital to our mission at Lena Pope," said Ashley Barnes, Ph.D., CEO of Lena Pope. "Celebrating 30 years of this landmark event highlights the incredible power of community partnerships. Every single reservation made this August allows guests to enjoy a magnificent meal while directly funding the critical mental health and educational services that local children and families need to truly thrive."

Reservations are now open, and diners are encouraged to book early through OpenTable or by contacting restaurants directly.
