A tasty, fresh addition to Houston’s charity dining scene has arrived! Eat Drink HTX, the sister event to Houston Restaurant Weeks, was brought to life by The Cleverley Stone Foundation.

This 2024 event marks the third go-round for Eat Drink HTX and boasts restaurants for all taste buds from Tex-Mex to Thai. Stick your fork into something delicious for a good cause from Feb. 15-29 this year.

Like its sister event, Eat Drink HTX entices diners with specially priced prix fixe menus for brunches, lunches, and dinners, each accompanied by a corresponding charitable contribution. Notably, diners are not approached for additional donations, as the event hinges on the generosity of participating restaurants.

By partnering with the Galveston County Food Bank and the Montgomery County Food Bank, both affiliated with the Houston Food Bank as Partner Distribution Organizations (PDOs), Eat Drink HTX amplifies its impact on hunger relief efforts. These PDOs, certified by the Houston Food Bank to meet Feeding America standards, play a crucial role in distributing food to local charities, thereby ensuring that the event's contributions resonate deeply within the community.

Now that you know you’ll be eating for a good cause, let’s indulge in a list of some of our favorite restaurants on the list this year.

B.B. Lemon

$25 per person | Dinner
Restaurant will donate $3 from each dinner sold. Food Bank will provide 9 meals from this donation. 

This neighborhood eatery offers menu inspired by the tastebuds of Houstonians and New Yorkers and offers a darling patio perfect for Houston’s good weather days in February. A few of the first course choices include New England clam chowder, bacon parmesan, a watermelon salad or campechana. Second course includes a few burger options, fried chicken sandwich, cobb salad or mac & cheese. And your sweet tooth can choose from cheesecake, banana pudding (topped with toasted marshmallows, might we add) or brownie a la mode.

El Big Bad

$25 per person | Dinner
Restaurant will donate $3 from each dinner sold. 

This tequila bar nestled in Downtown Houston offers over 30 housemade infused tequilas, but that’s just 30 of the reasons you should dine here. Of course, diners can start with guacamole or queso blanco, because what’s Tex Mex without chips and dip? The second course offers three options: chicken or steak enchiladas, cheese enchiladas or mushroom fajitas. Bonus points, because all three options can be prepared gluten free, and the mushroom fajitas are vegan. Lastly, choose from bread pudding, churros or frutas con chile y limon.
