The best time of the year is almost here! Birmingham Restaurant Week 2021 (BRW) presented by Spire is bringing killer deals to the Magic City Thursday, Aug. 12-Sunday, Aug. 29. Not sure where to start? We’ve got ya covered with a guide to what you can expect.

18 days of pure deliciousness

Even if you aren’t familiar with Birmingham Restaurant Week, you probably know how many great food spots are in Birmingham. Whether you’re craving a refreshing cocktail or you want a savory bite to eat, there are so many options that The Magic City may as well be dubbed The Foodie City.

Birmingham Restaurant Week is an 18-day celebration of local restaurants. There will be options for whatever you’re craving in a range of budgets and neighborhoods.

Here’s how it works: participating restaurants will have special two, three and/or four-course breakfast, lunch and/or dinner menus at a prix-fixe price. Translation: BRW menus will have set prices from $5 to $50 per person, and you’ll get to try at least two or more courses at each location!

Here are the tasty deets:

• Thursday, Aug. 12—Sunday, Aug. 29
• 60+ restaurants & food trucks
• Breakfast, lunch & dinner menus ranging from $5-$50
