Restaurant Week Returns

by Apr 16, 2026Events, Food & Drink, Online Exclusives

Southport-Oak Island Restaurant Week runs April 27-May 2, 2026, featuring prix fixe menus, specials, and new dishes at local favorites.

Food lovers across the North Carolina coast will want to save the date: the Annual Southport–Oak Island Area Restaurant Week is set for April 27 through May 2, 2026. The weeklong celebration spotlights the area’s standout restaurants and invites locals and visitors to explore new flavors, favorite spots, and seasonal specials throughout Southport, Oak Island, and nearby communities.

What to Expect During Restaurant Week

Participating restaurants will offer special incentives designed to make dining out even more tempting. Each location will feature at least one of the following during the week:
• Limited-time menu items created exclusively for Spring Restaurant Week
• Special price points on select dishes or meals
• Prix-fixe dining options, featuring multiple courses for one set price

Restaurant Week events have become a favorite across North Carolina because they make it easy to try new places, sample chef-driven creations, and enjoy a great meal at a great value.

Why Restaurant Week Matters for Diners (and Chefs)

For diners, Restaurant Week is a chance to:
• Discover restaurants they haven’t tried yet
• Enjoy unique, seasonal dishes that may not be available year-round
• Plan a fun week of lunch dates, dinner nights out, or coastal getaways

For chefs and restaurant teams, it’s an opportunity to get creative—testing new recipes, showcasing signature flavors, and introducing concepts that could become future menu favorites.
