About Austin Restaurant Weeks

Texas ranks 2nd in the US for food insecurity at a distressing 16.9%. The 21-county service area covered by Central Texas Food Bank (CTFB) includes 10% of the state’s food insecure population. Hunger is a serious issue here in Central Texas, where 1 in 6 of our neighbors can’t be sure where their next meal will come from — for children, that number is 1 in 4.

You can help by dining out at participating restaurants during Austin Restaurant Weeks, a two-week-long dining extravaganza featuring specially priced lunches, dinners and drinks at restaurants throughout the greater Austin area. A portion of the price of each meal goes directly to CTFB, which helps provide meals to our neighbors in need.

Austin Restaurant Weeks will run from August 29-September 14!

  • A couple of things. We love it when you can offer exclusive dish(es) just for ARW patrons, and when your prix-fixe menu is a deal for diners. And the earlier you can get your menu to us, the faster it will go up on our website - meaning more diners will plan to visit you for ARW. Win-win!

  • Participating restaurants benefit from the broad range of promotions and marketing assets provided by Austin Restaurant Weeks, our partners and the influencers we’re connected with. By registering, establishments make sure that they’re official ARW participants and we’ll make sure we have all the latest information about you to share with potential diners.
