128 restaurant brands have 45,331 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 30,181 of those were running when we read it on October 5, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.

Restaurants advertise the limited-time item far more than the menu, because something new is the only reason a regular needs to hear from a place they already know.

Which restaurant brands run the most ads?

The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the accountโ€™s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

video leads at 40 percent of the 3,731 creatives read here, with carousel at 37 percent and static at 23. Order now carries 56 percent of the calls to action.

The median creative here ran 19 days and the longest was still up at 809.

How that compares with every other industry is in the Meta ad creative benchmarks.

How to run restaurant ads on Facebook and Instagram

  1. 1

    Sell one job with one clear offer

    People do not book a service, they book a job: one room, one driveway, one visit. The ads that fill a calendar name that job and put an offer beside it, a price, a free quote, or a slot this week. 22 percent of the restaurant ads here lead with a price in the ad.

  2. 2

    Show the finished work in the first second

    The result is the creative. A before-and-after, the finished job, or a short clip of the work being done stops the scroll faster than a logo or a team photo. In this category video ads lead.

  3. 3

    Target the area you actually serve

    Set a radius around the towns you work in and let Meta find the homeowners inside it. Name the town in the copy: a local name in the first line tells the reader this ad is for them.

  4. 4

    Make booking one tap

    "Order now" is the most used button on these ads. Use a call button, an instant form or a booking link, and answer every lead within minutes. The shop that calls back first gets the job.

  5. 5

    Keep the winners running and replace the rest

    The median restaurant ad here stayed up 19 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
