It’s a relaxed, filling option that delivers strong value at an accessible price point.

City Slice | $20 per person
City Slice keeps Restaurant Week fun and customizable. The meal begins with a side house or Caesar salad, followed by your choice of jumbo wings, boneless wings, or a build-your-own 10-inch pizza with three toppings. Dessert options include a cookie pizza or a cinnamon pizza topped with sugar glaze, making this a great pick for groups, families, or anyone who wants variety without overthinking it.

Acme Oyster House | $20.26 per person

The meal wraps up with bread pudding finished with whiskey sauce.

Modesto Tacos, Tequila & Whiskey | $25 per person
Modesto’s three-course menu brings bold, layered flavors to the table. Starters include queso fundido, a Southwest Caesar salad, or beef empanadas with avocado cream. Entrée choices range from two regular menu tacos served with arroz verde and beans to a birria burger stacked with guacamole, jalapeños, onions, and peppers, or a crispy chile relleno stuffed with beef picadillo and cheese. Desserts like caramel sopapillas or chocolate tres leches cake pops provide a sweet and satisfying finish.

Frankie’s Dawg House | $25–$31 per person
Frankie’s Dawg House closes things out with a Restaurant Week menu that leans indulgent and playful. Appetizers like Golden Sriracha Wings glazed in honey butter and boudin eggrolls topped with crawfish cream sauce set the tone early. Entrées range from a truffle aioli mushroom burger to the over-the-top King Cajun Brisket Dawg served on King Hawaiian bread, each paired with truffle fries or loaded mac and cheese. Desserts such as the King Cake shake or sweet potato fries smothered in candied pecan caramel make this feel like a full night out without drifting into special-occasion pricing.

Restaurant Week doesn’t have to mean spending more—it can mean spending smarter. These menus prove that value, creativity, and flavor can all exist at the same table, no matter your budget.
