  • 20 Fort Worth-area restaurants will offer dinner specials during DFW Restaurant Week.
  • Reservations are open; many deals begin Aug. 10, some start Aug. 6.
  • $6–$20 from each Tarrant County dinner will fund Lena Pope children’s services.

Twenty of the very best Fort Worth-area restaurants, including the gourmet Chumley House and Southwestern favorites Bonnell’s and Reata, will offer dinner specials in August during the 30th annual DFW Restaurant Week.

Ten Grapevine and Southlake restaurants are also among more than 100 restaurants across North Texas offering deals beginning Aug. 10, with $6 to $20 of each dinner in Tarrant County supporting the Lena Pope children’s resource agency.

Reservations are now open for $49-$99 multiple-course dinner deals and $29 lunches or brunches, all to promote dining in the slow summer weeks and to raise money for Lena Pope or the Dallas-area North Texas Food Bank.

In 2025, the event raised $681,327 for the two charities.

For example, the Chumley House, a Cultural District restaurant shown in the TV show “Landman,” will serve a $59 dinner Aug. 10-23 featuring short rib, chicken schnitzel or salmon with an appetizer and a dessert of sticky toffee pudding, chocolate cake or “Mimi’s” ice box pie.

Dos Mares will offer a special $99 steak or shrimp boil dinner or a $59 dinner Aug. 10-23. Emilia’s will offer a $99 steak, sea bass or Amish chicken dinner Aug. 6-Sept. 7 or a $29 lunch.
