DECATUR — Decatur Morgan County Tourism invites residents and visitors to come hungry and discover some of the best bites in Morgan County during Decatur-Morgan County Restaurant Week, August 15–21, 2026. This Weeklong celebration invites residents and visitors to dine across Morgan County, collect passport stamps, and win prizes
This year’s Restaurant Week also adds a fun incentive to dine around Morgan County through a Restaurant Week Passport and raffle program. Patrons can visit visitdecatural.org/
For every qualifying in-store purchase or dining experience at a participating location during Restaurant Week, patrons will receive one stamp. Each stamp equals one entry into the Restaurant Week prize drawings, giving participants more chances to win the more locations they visit.
Prize baskets will feature items and experiences from across the area, including tickets to Rock the South, premium bottles of wine, gift cards to local restaurants, merchandise, swag and more.
Restaurant Week offers diners plenty of opportunities to explore, with participating businesses ranging from barbecue and Southern favorites to pizza, Mexican cuisine, coffee, tea, desserts and more.
Participating local restaurants include: Nature’s Table at the Cook Museum of Natural Science, Piper & Leaf Tea Company, Rustic Rooster Restaurant and Catering, Bank Street Grill, Just Wing It, Pizza Roma, Paige’s Place, El Patron Mexican Grill, 609 Social Market and Provisions, Whitt’s Barbecue, Serrano’s Mexican, Alfonso’s Pizza and Italian, Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, B.B. Perrins Sports Grille, The Brick Deli, Let’s Do Lunch, Mother’s Italian Kitchen, J.W. Steakhouse, Eatin’ in the Attic and Minnie’s Soul Food.
Participating franchise restaurants include: Slim Chickens, Whataburger, Moe’s Original BBQ, Mellow Mushroom, Longhorn Steakhouse, Texas Roadhouse and The Honey Baked Ham Company.
Those looking for something sweet or a caffeine boost can also collect stamps at participating coffee and dessert locations, including The Mallard Coffee Company, Mel’s Sweet Treats, Oliwia’s Shaved Ice, Tessa’s Place Ice Cream Shop, Warehouse Coffee and CrossTies Coffee Company.
Restaurant Week is about more than finding a great meal. Restaurants are an important part of the local tourism economy, helping create jobs, support local suppliers and generate spending that reaches businesses throughout the community.
For visitors, dining is also an essential part of the destination experience. A memorable meal, a locally owned restaurant, or an unexpected coffee stop can become just as much a part of a trip as an attraction or event. Restaurant Week gives visitors another reason to explore beyond their original itinerary and spend additional time engaging with businesses throughout Decatur and Morgan County.
The passport program is designed to encourage that exploration by rewarding diners for trying multiple participating locations throughout the week. A visitor may come to Morgan County for an attraction, sporting event or weekend getaway, but Restaurant Week provides an added incentive to venture into the community, discover a new restaurant and contribute directly to the local economy.
For residents, it’s an opportunity to rediscover what’s available close to home while intentionally supporting the restaurants, small businesses and hospitality professionals that serve the community year-round.
