Hattiesburg Restaurant Week is the gastro-event of the season, featuring limited-time specials and week-long discounts at local Hattiesburg eateries!
Home to nearly 200 locally owned restaurants, Hattiesburg has more local eateries per capita than any other Mississippi town, making it a premier culinary destination. Hattiesburg Restaurant Week helps to stimulate the local economy and boosts support for Hattiesburg’s award-winning restaurant scene.
Now in its eighth year, this year’s Restaurant Week is on a Sugar Rush! More than 40 of Hattiesburg’s local restaurants are ready to share some of their sweetest creations. Each eatery has taken on the challenge of incorporating their interpretation of sweets into small plates, mains, and desserts. Sweet and sour? Sweet heat? Straight up sugary dessert? Whatever you like, we’re sure you'll find it!
So, what else do you need to know?
This Hattiesburg Restaurant Week Foodie Guide is sorted by neighborhood to aid diners in planning their Hattiesburg Restaurant Week culinary adventure.
Head over to the VisitHATTIESBURG Facebook page and Instagram for additional breakout categories, like minority-owned, pet-friendly, and more!
Participating restaurants have created a new dish for the week that features their take on this year's "Sugar Rush" theme! Those who did not create a new dish, selected an existing sweet menu item to feature and are offering a discount.
Eat at a participating HBURG restaurant is the simplest way to participate; however, we also encourage you to share your meals or check in at restaurants on social media to help spread the word about favorite eats in town. As a thriving visitor destination, Trip Advisor, Google Business, and Yelp reviews and/or pictures are also incredibly helpful to our local eateries!
There is not a fee, just the cost of your meal, so you can splurge or be as budget conscious as you choose.
To create a cohesive dining experience throughout the city, servers at participating restaurants receive customized aprons with #EatHBURG and the VisitHATTIESBURG logo. In addition, a limited number of #EatHBURG promotional items will be given away to diners at participating restaurants.
The more Hattiesburg local restaurants, the merrier! Please email mmallory@visithburg.org with your contact information and Restaurant name. We will be in touch!
This year's theme is Sugar Rush! Whether you have a sweet and sour, sweet chili, sweet dessert, sweet heat or sweet and spicy the sky is the limit this year!.
