About Us: KCRW | Kansas City Restaurant Week

Experience the Best of KC’s Dining Scene

Kansas City Restaurant Week is Kansas City’s premier dining event, featuring hundreds of restaurants throughout the metro area. Show your support for KC’s restaurant industry and savor some of the finest plates the city has to offer, thanks to special multi-course menus available throughout the week. Plus, a portion of all proceeds benefits local charities.

Countless Menus. One Great Cause.

Kansas City Restaurant Week (KCRW) is for the people. Since its inaugural year in 2010, the mission of KCRW has been to support the local restaurant industry while giving back to the community.

The 10-day dining event is the perfect opportunity to savor exclusive menus from hot new restaurants you’ve been meaning to try or an excuse to return to a familiar favorite. At a variety of price tiers, you’ll find plenty of reasons to indulge.

During KCRW, you can find participating restaurants on our website or with our free app. Search and filter hundreds of restaurants offering dine-in, carry-out, and delivery menu options. No matter how you choose to enjoy, KCRW promises to make every dining experience a special occasion.

Giving back to KC

Restaurant Week is about more than just incredible meals and incredible value. KCRW offers the opportunity to directly support Kansas City’s restaurant industry—including many small, family-owned businesses.

In addition to supporting KC’s restaurants, you’ll be doing good for the entire community. Participating restaurants pledge to donate 10 percent of sales from each meal to benefit an annual charity partner and two founding beneficiaries.

In 2026, the KCRW community partner was reStart Inc., an organization that walks alongside individuals and families experiencing homelessness, helping them find a pathway home. As the only agency in the KC region serving all populations — youth, veterans, families, and single adults — reStart meets people where they are. Alongside shelter, meals, and supportive services, the agency provides the tools and dignity needed for lasting stability.

KCRW’s founding beneficiaries include the Visit KC Foundation and the Greater KC Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. These nonprofit foundations are dedicated to workforce development within the tourism and hospitality industries.
