The start of the new year marks the start of another opportunity to eat your way through Kansas City’s local eateries, including several in Johnson County.
This year’s Kansas City Restaurant Week is upon us, officially kicking off this Friday.
The 10-day event features a wide swath of Johnson County eateries, offering various types of cuisine. Prices generally range from $20 to $65.
KC Restaurant Week runs for 10 days
- This year’s Kansas City Restaurant Week will run from Friday, Jan. 9, to Sunday, Jan. 18.
- This year’s participants are offering menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- Customers can visit for dine in, or in some cases, they can pick up their orders for carryout.
The event will benefit 3 local orgs
During KC Restaurant Week each year, participating restaurants commit to donating 10% of each purchased Restaurant Week meal to one charity partner and two founding beneficiaries.
The 2026 community charity partner is reStart, a nonprofit that helps people experiencing homelessness in the Kansas City area.
Nonprofits Visit KC Foundation and the Greater KC Restaurant Association Educational Foundation are the event’s founding beneficiaries.
This year’s lineup includes more than 50 JoCo restaurants
