Eat Drink HTX launches in Houston with two-week prix fixe menus supporting the Houston Food Bank

A February dining campaign returns across the Houston region

Eat Drink HTX is underway in Houston, running from February 15 through February 28, 2026. The two-week charity dining event is structured around fixed-price menus designed for casual and fast-casual restaurants, along with participating bakeries, coffee shops and food trucks.

The campaign is positioned as a companion event to Houston Restaurant Weeks, which traditionally takes place later in the year. Eat Drink HTX is scheduled in February, a period that can be slower for many restaurants, and is intended to broaden participation by offering lower, standardized menu price points.

How the pricing works and where donations come from

Participating businesses offer special prix fixe menus at set prices, with two-course brunch and lunch menus priced at $15 and dinner menus priced at $25. The event’s structure ties each qualifying menu sold to a corresponding contribution from the participating restaurant, rather than soliciting direct donations from diners at the table.

Proceeds generated through the program benefit the Houston Food Bank. Event materials also describe support for Kids’ Meals, a Houston-area nonprofit focused on providing free, healthy meals to preschool-aged children.

What diners can expect: rotating menus and restaurant-by-restaurant policies

Eat Drink HTX is promoted as a way for diners to sample participating restaurants through limited-time menus created specifically for the campaign. The lineup includes a mix of neighborhood independents and multi-location concepts across the metro area, reflecting the event’s emphasis on accessibility and broad geographic reach.

Restaurant participation and menu details are published through the event’s official listings, with 2026 restaurant announcements rolling out beginning February 1 and continuing through the event’s opening. Menu availability and service formats can vary by location, including whether an offer is available for dine-in, to-go, or during specific dayparts.

• Dates: February 15–28, 2026
• Prix fixe pricing: $15 brunch, $15 lunch, $25 dinner
• Beneficiary: Houston Food Bank (with event materials also referencing Kids’ Meals)

Reservations and participation

Reservation requirements are not uniform across the event. Some locations may accept walk-ins, while others may encourage reservations depending on service model and expected volume. Diners typically need to request the Eat Drink HTX menu where restaurants are offering both regular menus and event menus concurrently.

Eat Drink HTX is scheduled as a two-week, fixed-price dining initiative built around restaurant-funded contributions tied to event menu sales.

What’s next

With Eat Drink HTX continuing through February 28, diners can expect ongoing updates to the participating list and menus throughout the event window. The campaign’s broader framework connects Houston’s dining scene with a fundraising model aimed at generating meal support through high-volume, standardized offers across a wide range of restaurant formats.
