LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Lexington Restaurant Week is underway from Thursday, July 20 through Sunday, July 30.
This year's Lexington Restaurant Week comes after three years of economic problems for restaurants, from COVID to inflation.
Local restaurants are hoping to use it as an opportunity to draw people back into dining out.
"Being able to highlight us as independent restaurants and allowing us to showcase what we do well really allows us to get our name out there and establish the brand," said Joshua Brown, general manager of J. Render's Southern Table & Bar.
In addition to getting people out to eat, it's an opportunity for people to try new menu items."
"For us and our team, it's just an opportunity to kind of cook something new that's not the menu normally and have a little fun with some menu items," said Josh Rubin, owner of Saul Good.
This year, participating restaurants are offering $19, $29, or $39 specials.
