Having occurred for several years now throughout the metro area, Omaha Restaurant Week has since become an event that people far and wide come out to support. Whether it is a small Mother and father owned diner in the neighborhoods of Dundee or a slow growing fine dining chain in the suburbs of elkhorn.
Since its inception, the Foodbank of the Heartland, along with Visit Omaha have worked tireless alongside one another to help bring this event to the masses.
Among the numerous participants, Omaha restaurant week 2019 included Pitch West, Black Oak Grill, Petrow’s Café, Stoke’s Grill, and several others. Restaurants such as these are given a choice of three categories which to price their prix fixe menus at.
