Eat Drink HTX: A More Affordable Way to Give Back to the Community
Saturday, February 15 marks the beginning of Eat Drink HTX, a more affordable sister event to Houston Restaurant Weeks, featuring special dining deals at casual restaurants.
Over 125 Restaurants Participating
More than 125 restaurants are participating in the event’s fourth year, with Houston establishments like Mala Sichuan Bistro, Molina’s Cantina, and El Pollo Loco peppering the list with multiple outposts. These restaurants have crafted fixed-price menus, with $15 for lunch or brunch and $25 for dinner, generating a donation of $1 or $3 for the Cleverley Stone Foundation, which donates proceeds to the Houston Food Bank and Kids’ Meals.
More Affordable Options
With prices more accessible than HRW’s $25 lunch menus and $39 or $55 dinner menus, Eat Drink HTX opens the door for casual restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and coffee shops to join in, with standouts including The Sylvie, Andes Cafe, Duck n Bao, and Traveler’s Cart.
Home Run Dugout and More
What sets Eat Drink HTX apart from its larger fundraising event in August is the opportunity to take advantage of the dining deals to explore more than the traditional restaurants. For instance, Home Run Dugout lets patrons imagine what it’s like to be Yordan Alvarez, with its indoor batting cages and augmented reality immersing players in a simulation of a stadium, with soft-pitch technology enabling anyone six and over to play. The Katy baseball destination’s full-service restaurant is offering a $15 lunch and $25 dinner during Eat Drink HTX, with options like birria quesadillas, chicken wings, and a crushed brisket blend double-patty burger.
Dine-in Theaters
For a more relaxing evening, catch the latest Captain America flick without having to worry about dinner at one of Star Cinema Grill’s eight Houston-area locations. The dine-in-theater is offering a $25 two-course dinner deal featuring popcorn, fried pickles, chicken and waffles, and a goat cheese and mushroom flatbread.
Supporting a Good Cause
"I am thrilled to announce Kids’ Meals as a 2025 beneficiary of Eat Drink HTX," said Katie Stone, Cleverley Stone Foundation president. "Their dedication to ending childhood hunger by providing free, healthy meals to preschool-aged children is truly inspiring. As someone passionate about supporting children and families in our community, I am confident that their impact will continue to change lives and bring hope to those who need it most."
Conclusion
Eat Drink HTX is an excellent opportunity to turn the joy of dining out into hope for hungry children. With over 125 participating restaurants, there’s something for everyone to enjoy while supporting a great cause.
