Sizzle Dining 2025: Southwest Florida’s Four-Week Culinary Celebration Has Arrived!

September 3 – 30, 2025 marks the most expansive Sizzle Dining yet—Southwest Florida’s premier restaurant event uniting over 127 local eateries from Cape Coral to Marco Island in a month of purposeful indulgence.

Enjoy curated, discounted menus, support local businesses during their slowest season, and help feed children in need with every meal.

Read on for all the delicious details, including the full list of participating restaurants organized by region.

What Is Sizzle Dining?

This event is not just a restaurant promotion—it’s a community movement that began in Naples in 2016 and has grown into a region-wide celebration. Each participating restaurant offers special prix-fixe menus—2‑course breakfasts or lunches for $19 or $29, and 3‑course dinners for $29, $39, or $49.

You simply browse menus on SizzleDining.org, reserve a table, and enjoy, with no tickets or passes needed.

Importantly, $1 from each Sizzle Dining meal sold is donated to Blessings in a Backpack Southwest Florida, providing weekend meals to food-insecure elementary kids.

Why It Matters

• Boosts local restaurants during September’s slow season, supporting everything from servers to linen services.

• Drives economic ripple effects across Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties as diners explore new spots and reignite their favorites.

• Combats childhood hunger—last year Sizzle raised over $60,000 by selling more than 62,000 meals, and this year expects over 80,000 meals at 127 sites.

• Now officially a 509(a)(2) nonprofit, giving tax-deductible participation benefits to restaurants.
