FORT WORTH<\/p>\n

It almost seems impossible, but this is the 30th year for the summer dining promotion named DFW Restaurant Week.<\/a><\/p>\n

Reservations open July 16 for dinners beginning Aug. 10 at more than 100 restaurants across North Texas, with from $6 to $20 of each dinner in Tarrant County supporting the Lena Pope<\/a> children\u2019s resource agency.<\/p>\n

Through Sept. 7, many of the restaurants will offer $49-$99 multiple-course dinner deals and $29 lunches or brunches from special menus, all to promote dining in the slow summer weeks and to raise money for Lena Pope or the Dallas-area North Texas Food Bank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the event raised $681,327 for the two charities.<\/p>\n

Restaurants usually include many prime steakhouses and fine-dining restaurants. The current list will be announced when reservations open July 16.<\/p>\n

Two restaurants, City Works Eatery<\/a> in Fort Worth and Chamberlain\u2019s Steak & Fish<\/a> in Dallas had already posted menus online at midweek.<\/p>\n

City Works, in the Shops at Clearfork, will offer a $29 three-course lunch menu featuring burgers, salads, wraps, bowls, chicken piccata, fish-and-chips or smoked meatloaf, with peanut-butter Snickers pie for dessert.<\/p>\n

Home base this year is the new Lions Den<\/a>, an Italian supper club in the century-old Stoneleigh Hotel, Autograph Collection, in Dallas. The Lions Den will offer a free happy hour at 4 p.m. July 16 with samples, Stella Artois beers and Penfolds wines.<\/p>\n

The money \u2014 20% of each Tarrant County dinner \u2014 goes to support Lena Pope\u2019s family counseling, education and intervention services, executive Ashley Barnes said.<\/p>\n

The Uber ride-hailing services and its food delivery app, Uber Eats, are now the primary sponsor. Among other sponsors are the OpenTable.com reservations app, Market Street supermarkets and Audacy radio stations including 30-year sponsor KRLD\/1080 AM.<\/p>\n
