MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ — Jersey Shore Restaurant Week is set to begin on Friday, with restaurants down the shore set to participate in the biannual tradition – including multiple dining locations throughout Monmouth County.
Each spring and fall, this beloved dining event draws restaurants and communities throughout the Jersey Shore together to broaden people’s food horizons and promote local businesses.
Jim Flynn, the Jersey Shore Restaurant Week chairman, said he travels the country looking for great places to stay and eat and has noticed a growing number of towns and areas that have embraced the “Restaurant Week” concept, to great success, as time has gone on.

These travels eventually inspired him to bring the event to the shore, according to the Jersey Shore Restaurant Week website.
“The goal for diners is to experience restaurants they may not have heard about or been to yet and to be able to do that at a great price,” Flynn said of Restaurant Week.

“For restaurateurs, it is an opportunity to boost their business at traditionally slow times of the year and to ‘show off’ their talents to people who haven’t enjoyed their restaurant yet.”
For Spring 2026, Restaurant Week participants will be able to enjoy a three-course meal with their choice of an appetizer, entree, and dessert for either $32.26 or $42.26 at participating restaurants from Friday, April 10, through Sunday, April 19.
Diners will also have the opportunity to participate in Restaurant Week events such as the Chefs Invitational Kickoff Event on Thursday, A Celebration of 250 Years on Saturday, April 18, and A Tasting of Summer Wines on Sunday, April 19.
