GAINESVILLE - Come hungry and leave happy… for more than one reason.

It's called Gainesville restaurant week.

Organizers say it's a way to support local restaurants while enjoying a good meal at a good price.

The Gainesville area chamber of commerce is partnering with nearly 20 locally-owned restaurants to give customers special pricing until August 5.

If you mention Gainesville restaurant week at any of the participating restaurants, you get a special menu with entrées for $10, $20 or $30.

Gainesville Restaurant Week kicks off Thursday with free food until 7:30 at Causseaux, Hewett and Walpole on NW 76th Drive.
