With a new format for 2021, the 35th annual Taste of the Town has returned to The Woodlands to showcase signature dishes from some of the area’s best eateries throughout the month of January. So there’s still time to enjoy the special menus and bargains on offer.

What’s New for 2021? 

In previous years, Taste of the Town was held on a single night at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott. This year however, ticket holders will be able to visit any participating restaurant through Jan. 31, for a curated sampling of featured menu items. This will allow each establishment to maintain social distancing and safety protocols. 

Participating Restaurants 

38 local eateries spanning a wide variety of cuisines are taking part in Taste of the Town 2021 and competing for People’s Choice Awards for Best Appetizer, Best Entree, and Best Dessert. You can try classic dishes and discover new favorites at Escalante’s Fine Tex Mex & Tequila, Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, Local Pour, MACARON by Patisse, Sorriso Modern Italian Kitchen, The Butler House, Thistle Draftshop & Kitchen, and many more. Visit the event website for a complete list of participating restaurants. 

Tickets & Prices

Tickets cost $25 per person and children under 12 are free. Purchase tickets online in advance, then make reservations at participating restaurants to dine up until Jan. 31, and your Taste of the Town ticket will be scanned when you check in. Ticket holders can visit as many participating restaurants as they like during the month, but can only utilize their ticket once at each venue. So start planning your dining schedule now to fit in as many as you can, and don’t forget to vote for your favorites afterward.
