Foodies, rejoice! KC Restaurant Week is back in 2025 for its 16th year.
From Jan. 10 to Jan. 19, over 230 restaurants in the Kansas City metro will offer multi-course meals at low price points: $20, $40, and $55. This year’s event is presented by Gift Card Market.
The food festival’s lineup, more than ever, showcases the diversity of KC. Cuisine ranges from Cajun to Thai and way beyond. Offerings span every meal, too—you could grab breakfast at Eggtc., hit Crush for lunch, then sit down at Rye for dinner.
KC Restaurant Week is a perfect opportunity to explore KC’s food scene and support its economy. Here are just seven restaurants you could try during Kansas City’s ten tastiest days of the year.
Note: Visit the KC Restaurant Week website to browse participating restaurants, find full menus, and get a head start on plans. There’s also a handy mobile app that helps you make reservations, fill out a wish list, and more—just search “KC Restaurant Week” on the Apple or Google Play store.
Marina 27 Steak & Seafood
Marina 27 Steak & Seafood is a versatile fine-dining spot right on the shore of Lake Lotawana. Any other time of year, Marina 27’s average three-course dinner would cost you around $100; during KC Restaurant Week, you can have one for $55. Main course options include petite filet mignon, parmesan-crusted grouper, and seafood mac and cheese.

During Restaurant Week, you’ll have access to a $20 three-course brunch, a $20 two-course lunch, and a $55 four-course dinner. Your choices for each course are dizzying, but we’re especially curious about the Nashville deviled eggs (a.k.a. bacon-topped deviled eggs) for breakfast and brunch.

Anthony’s Restaurant & Lounge
The Spino family has operated at this building on Grand for six decades—first as The Soup House in the 1960s, then as the Anthony’s Restaurant & Lounge you know starting in 1978. The Italian-American family, naturally, serves Italian and American cooked with love.
During Restaurant Week, you can get a three-course lunch for $20 and a four-course dinner for $40. The options are swoon-worthy—think chicken spiedini, meatball sandwiches, and homemade cannoli.

Aqua Penny’s
Chef Penny and Doug Mufuka’s first claim to fame was the Thai restaurant Bamboo Penny’s (which is also on the KC Restaurant Week roster) in Park Place, and Aqua Penny’s is its beloved seafood counterpart.
During KC Restaurant Week, you can get a three-course lunch for $40 and a four-course dinner for $55. It’s your chance to try Penny’s Hot & Sour Soup, blackened Cajun salmon, and Penny’s Mango Catfish for a low price.
