The Best Austin Dining Deals During Black Friday and Small Business Saturday

While officially, Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, November 25, nowadays online shopping deals are available earlier. But still, people will want to buy in person and drag themselves out of that comfortable bed after all of that turkey and Thanksgiving food and take advantage of good shopping deals throughout the city. Likewise, there’s Small Business Saturday on Saturday, November 26, a day meant to highlight local, small, independent businesses.

In light of those two shopping-geared days, Austin-area restaurants, breweries, and wineries are helping to fuel shoppers with food and drinks and/or offering their own specials.

While Eater Austin didn’t publish a holiday gift guide this year, there are plentiful previous editions to browse (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021) as well as Eater National’s and other city sites guides,
