DoorDash Reveals Top Restaurants to Take Your Valentine Out & Save

Valentine's Day is almost here, but a perfect date night doesn't mean months of planning. To help make the most of the night, DoorDash today revealed a list of restaurants* where customers can get a special perk through Going Out. With Going Out, DoorDash offers diners the ability to earn DoorDash credits by dining in at popular local restaurants - because the best nights out don't have to end when you leave the restaurant.

DoorDash data from Valentine's Day 2025 shows that romance often starts with a great meal. American, Italian, and Japanese cuisines ranked among the most popular** choices for at-home celebrations, with customers splurging on elevated favorites like steak, lobster, and sushi. This Valentine's Day, DoorDash is taking those indulgent dining trends beyond the couch and into restaurants, rewarding diners who turn a special meal into a shared, in-person experience with exclusive DoorDash Going Out offers.

To discover and redeem exclusive in-store offers and earn, diners can explore the Going Out tab in the DoorDash app. Going Out in-store rewards are available at thousands of restaurants in select U.S. and Australia markets for DashPass members - and for a limited time, all DoorDash consumers can try it out.

"Valentine's Day is about creating meaningful moments together, and DoorDash Going Out makes it easier to turn a night out into something special," said P arisa Sadrzadeh, Vice President and General Manager, In Store at DoorDash . "By bringing exclusive reservations, in-store deals and rewards into the DoorDash app, we're giving diners more ways to discover great local restaurants and celebrate occasions like Valentine's Day on their own terms - whether that's with a partner, friends, or a group."

The restaurants featured are among the most visited on DoorDash Going Out across the U.S. and represent some of the great destinations for using Going Out rewards.
