Hosted by Visit Tuscaloosa and presented by Huntington Bank, the fourth annual event has been expanded from a weeklong promotion to a 10-day celebration highlighting restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and bars throughout the city.

Organizers say the event showcases the culinary scene that helped earn Tuscaloosa recognition as one of the South's Top Culinary Towns by Local Palate magazine in 2025.

“Being named a 'Top Culinary Town in the South' in 2025 by Local Palate is a testament to what our restaurant community has built here,” President and CEO of Visit Tuscaloosa Kelsey Rush said. “Tuscaloosa Restaurant Week is our chance to celebrate that recognition. It’s also a reminder that dining local boosts the economy, sustains jobs, and deepens the sense of place that makes Tuscaloosa and our community special.”

Visit Tuscaloosa Director of Community Partnerships and Group Tour Experiences Josh Rivers said local restaurants have told tourism officials they see a quantifiable difference during Tuscaloosa Restaurant Week, which can make a big difference during the slower summer months.

“We’re grateful to Huntington Bank for helping us deliver that boost, and we can’t wait for locals and visitors to get out and experience everything our culinary scene has to offer June 18 to 27," he said.
