DINING OUT DURING HRW’s month-long charity promotion, Aug. 1-Sept. 3, not only benefits the Houston Food Bank, but also increases sales for restaurants and their employees who suffered during hurricane Beryl — and so many did! Reserve now and grab a taste of something new at value pricing.

1891 American Eatery & Bar

This still-new spot in the Heights serves elevated pub fare with something for everyone. Come hungry for brunch, lunch and dinner menus, plus to-go! Dinner ($39) options are many like salmon tartare, grilled flat iron steak, and summer spaghetti. Four desserts are on tap, including Key lime cheesecake.

Auden

This stylish haunt in bustling Autry Park has a following for its eclectic menu. Husband and wife chefs Kirthan and Kripa Shenoy are crafting punchy Indian-inspired dishes on their two-course $25 brunch and $55 dinner HRW menus. We have our eye on the beef short ribs and grilled asparagus, Masala shrimp with curry velouté, and beautiful tres leches.

BCN

Dine decadently on this Spanish restaurant’s three-course $55 dinner menu with dessert. Chilled cherry gazpacho and burrata salad with watermelon are just right for summer. Grilled entrée options include salmon, duck breast and filet mignon, each served with “bomba” rice.

Belly of the Beast 

This popular Spring eatery is dishing bold new American cuisine prepared through the lens of Mexican-American chef Thomas Bille. Dramatically presented dinner dishes on the three-course menu ($39) start with choices like grilled peach burrata toast and segue to crispy pork belly tacos and gussied-up carne asada.

Bludorn

Choose from dishes such as chilled corn soup, duck terrine, Scottish salmon and roasted pork loin with polenta on the three-course $55 menu. Chef Aaron Bludorn’s Montrose-area restaurant also offers scratch-made desserts with the special menu including pavlova with mixed berries.

Duchess

Dine like royalty at this newcomer in Uptown Park offering three-course brunch, lunch and dinner menus. Dinner ($55) sports grilled shrimp sliders and lots of juicy salads for starters. Second-course options highlight Mediterranean specialties like chicken Keba, blackened snapper, and bucatini pasta with chorizo and mussels.

HiWay Cantina

Tex Mex at HiWay Cantina

Pozole verde, Adobe grilled shrimp, watermelon salad, and enchiladas headline the lunch ($25) and dinner ($39) three-course menus. Add-ons like glazed quail and smoked sausage links are on offer as well at this EaDo newcomer from Agricole Hospitality.

Late August

Lunch ($25) on two courses of southern favorites including gumbo, chili relleno, or a smash burger. The three-course dinner ($55) brings on the rack of ribs, LA BBQ seafood, and more.

Heads up seafood lovers! Three-course lunch ($25) choices range from tuna crudo to Scottish salmon and chicken Milanese. Tomato gazpacho, chilled shrimp, branzino and tagliatelle are a few dinner ($55) options.

Thirteen Restaurant by James Harden 

For dinner ($55), start with lobster and prawn dumplings or avocado salad. Main plates like filet mignon and herb crusted lamb chops are followed by scrumptious desserts — think white-chocolate-cheesecake brulee.
