This year, Houston Restaurant Weeks will begin on Aug. 1 and run through Labor Day on Sept. 4.
Participating restaurants offer multi-course prix-fixe brunch, lunch and/or dinner menus at a special price. Brunch and lunch menus are $25 and include two or three courses. Dinner menus are $39 or $55 and include three or four courses.
The event was founded by restaurant correspondent and philanthropist Cleverley Stone in 2003, and is carried on by her daughter Katie Stone in her memory through the Cleverly Stone Foundation.
"HRW became my mother’s sole purpose," said Katie Stone. "She was relentless in her passion for its success and supporting the industry she loved. I know that she would be so happy that it continues to thrive! This year’s HRW will see a return to pre-pandemic donation amounts per meals sold, and we hope that area residents will come out to Dine Out & Do Good, which was her mantra."

"As Houston Restaurant Weeks enters its 20th year of dining out for a cause, Houston Food Bank is grateful for the continued support of the Cleverley Stone Foundation," said Brian Greene, president/CEO of Houston Food Bank. "We also want to congratulate the Cleverley Stone Foundation on this special anniversary, and we look forward to being a part of this event for the next 20 years."
