Savor the Flavor, Support the Cause

Sizzle Dining 2025 Returns with Purpose

This September, prepare your palate and your heart for one of Southwest Florida’s most delicious and meaningful events—Sizzle Dining 2025. From September 3-30, over 100 top restaurants across Lee and Collier Counties—stretching from Cape Coral to Marco Island—will come together once again for a month-long celebration of local flavor and community impact.

Now in its latest edition, Sizzle Dining continues to deliver its signature experience: specially curated three-course dinners priced at just ^$29, ^$39, or ^$49, and two-course lunches available at ^$19 or ^$29, depending on the restaurant. It’s a chance to explore new spots or revisit favorites, all while indulging in exclusive menus crafted just for the event. Whether you’re a passionate foodie, a curious newcomer, or a longtime resident, there’s never been a better reason to eat out.

But this event isn’t just about what’s on the plate—it’s about what your plate provides. With every Sizzle Dining meal purchased, participating restaurants will donate $1, which will go to Blessings in a Backpack of Southwest Florida, a nonprofit organization that supplies weekend meals to local food-insecure elementary students during the school year. Your appetite fuels a powerful mission: making sure no child goes hungry on the weekend. It’s dining with real purpose. #DineWithPurpose

September is traditionally the slowest month for local restaurants. Sizzle Dining offers a timely boost, generating over $3 million in local revenue, increasing restaurant traffic, and keeping staff employed and tipped during an otherwise sluggish season. The ripple effects are significant, benefiting not just restaurants but also local farmers, vendors, purveyors, and everyone who keeps our restaurant system thriving.

It’s as easy as 1-2-3:

Whether you’re a year-round resident or a visitor soaking in the sun and seafood, Sizzle Dining 2025 invites you to indulge in the best of Southwest Florida’s culinary scene while giving back in the most satisfying way possible.
