If ever there was a reason to plan your meals ahead it’s happening this week. Dayton’s Summer Restaurant Week, one of the tastiest traditions in the Miami Valley, is back from July 20–27, 2025, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever.
More than 30 of the area’s favorite restaurants will be offering up limited-time, multi-course menus at fixed prices—ranging from $20.25 to $55.25. It’s your chance to try that new spot you’ve been eyeing, return to an old favorite with a fresh twist and sample culinary creations you won’t find any other time of year.
“Our chefs pull out all the stops with dishes you won’t find any other time of year,” says Amy Zahora, Executive Director of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association (MVRA). “Restaurant Week is truly a flavor-packed invitation to explore the best of Dayton’s dining scene, whether you’re discovering a new gem or revisiting an old favorite with a fresh twist.”
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Restaurant Week, a milestone that reflects the region’s growing love for its independent dining scene and its commitment to community.
“Restaurant Week is more than just a meal — it’s a chance to support the heart of our community: independent restaurants and the people behind them,” Zahora adds. “Every plate served helps support local chefs, local jobs, and local nonprofits. It’s a win-win for your taste buds and your town.”
So, whether you’re into fine dining, fast casual, bold BBQ, or Mediterranean freshness—there’s something for every appetite.
A few local spots stand out for delivering major value without compromising on flavor.
All The Best Delicatessen (Dayton) offers a three-course comfort food feast for just $20.25, including soup, your choice of brisket, schnitzel, or meatloaf, and cheesecake for dessert.
Nick’s Restaurant (Xenia), fresh off a People's Choice Award win at this year’s Kickin’ Chicken Wing Fest, serves up a full dinner for two for $40.25. Choose from New York strip or honey garlic salmon, share a dessert, and start things off with shrimp cocktail or their famous fried veggies.
At Greek Street (Centerville), your $20.25 dinner platter includes your choice of gyro, a fresh side like watermelon salad or avgolemono soup, a fountain drink, and a slice of flaky baklava.
For those craving a luxurious night out, Manna Uptown (Centerville) offers a globally inspired menu that’s perfect for a splurge. Entrée options include Coq au Vin Blanc ($55.25) and Tagliatelle alla Ragu Bolognese ($49.25), with starters like Mahi Bites and Arugula & Berries, and a standout citrus-soaked dessert: Portokalopita, a Greek yogurt and orange zest cake.
Joining the MVRA and Restaurant Week for the first time is SOB Steakhouse in Liberty Township. This stylish, edgy newcomer is turning heads with a three-course experience for $46.25. Guests can enjoy starters like sourdough with a garlic butter candle or gold-leaf deviled eggs, followed by filet mignon, seared salmon, or house chicken linguini—and finish with either a cookie flight or strawberry cheesecake crème brûlée.
Also making its Summer Restaurant Week 2025 debut is Zink’s Meats & Fine Wines, a beloved Centerville staple known for its premium cuts and curated gourmet offerings. Located at 409 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Zink’s is offering both casual and elevated options to satisfy every appetite. Lunchtime guests can enjoy a classic All-American Burger or a hearty Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, both served with crispy French fries for just $14.25. For dinner, indulge in their Surf & Turf special: a 12 oz. New York Strip paired with three grilled shrimp, served alongside a baked potato and a side salad for $35.25. Save room for dessert—Zink’s is serving up sweet finishes like their Raspberry Lemon Drop Cake and the decadent Peanut Butter Explosion Cake, each for $6.99. It's a flavorful first showing that brings butcher shop quality to the restaurant week spotlight.
