Burlington Review

Burlington County Restaurant Week will celebrate five years of food, drinks, and economic success this summer during what is expected to be the event’s largest chapter yet. The celebration of Burlington County restaurants, taverns, breweries, distilleries, wineries, and food trucks will be held from August 18-24 and will showcase some of the region’s best offerings.

Now in its fifth year, the weeklong promotion is organized by the Burlington County Commissioners, State Senator Troy Singleton, and the Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce. Throughout the week, they will highlight participating establishments through visits and social media spotlights.

Most participating establishments also create special menus or discounts for customers during the week.

“We created the first Restaurant Week in 2019 as an economic development initiative to showcase local restaurants and their importance to our communities,” said Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. “Since then, we’ve seen it continuously grow with additional restaurants participating and thousands of patrons dining out. Last summer, nearly 150 restaurants participated from each of Burlington County’s 40 municipalities. That’s a phenomenal accomplishment that shows how popular this event has become.”

In honor of Restaurant Week’s anniversary, organizers plan to recognize longtime participating restaurants that have helped grow the event.

“In every corner of Burlington County there are amazing restaurants,” said Senator Singleton. “Restaurant Week celebrates the delicious food these businesses offer but also their impacts on our local downtowns and communities.”

“Restaurant Week is one of Burlington County’s biggest achievements from the last decade,” added Kristi Howell, president and CEO of the Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce. “It has given participating businesses a huge lift and helped make dining local cool and exciting.”
