My three friends and I had an early afternoon meal at Emzara's. The senior price made it very affordable. The place was very crowded and noisy, but I guess that is to be expected. Everything was delicious! There is so much to choose from!!!

Dropped in for a quick lunch, confused by name (thought chili parlor, not coffee!)....but were we happy to fall by!
Caribou coffee richly beckons from the front door, as a vast selection of fresh donuts greets seductively. Yes, we know how to fill those longjohns - you want French custard - or Bavarian creme? How about white Twinkie goo? It's all there, with real maple frostings to match! Superb! Glazed chocolate cake donuts melting in mouth...and the apple fritters? Huge and gnarly, to be sure......
But, I digress....first we had a lunch. Daughter ordered salmon wrap, I the beef and blue cheese sandwich. Vinegar slaw did not disappoint. Sliced blue, not crumbles...
And then - DONUTS!!
Get there and keep these fine folks in business, please!

We stopped here before the Memorial Day weekend after reading the Washington Post article about the Ark Encounter. The place is full of arresting art and the staff is welcoming. The lattes were SMOOTH and really hit the spot after AE. We also had a baked confection - their specialty. It was tasty and sweeter than what we are used to but we think we have probably gotten used to baked goods in Santa Barbara having less sugar. It's a comfortable place that does not put on airs.

El Jalisco formula is simple: fresh ingredients, authentic recipes and expert assembly go into each and every one of our burritos, tacos, quesadillas and Mexican plates.

Food was decent nothing spectacular. Waiters English was not that good so hard to communicate. Arrived for semi late dinner but 8pm isn’t that late. Were completely out of rice which meant many dishes that contained were out of the picture.
5. Cracker Barrel

This was in walking distance of our hotel. Though extremely cold outside, the walk was quick and easy as well as worth it!
Service was quick and the food was hot and good! It took a little longer to get our food this time but worth a slight wait. Our waitress constantly checked in on us informing us about the status of our food!
As usual Cracker Barrel was an enjoyable experience!
6. Edwardo's Pizza & Subs LLC

If you are looking for great food at a great price at a family run, family friendly place Edwardo's is the place for you! Fast courteous service! We had the Big N pizza! Could've fed an army with it! Mozzarella sticks were yummy, the deluxe cheese pizza was the best I've ever tasted and the all meat pizza was the bomb(half and half)!
Coming to the Ark in July and I assure you...I'll be back!
7. LaRosa's Pizzeria

Stephanie was our server. She is a college student and attends our church. She is one sweet young woman. We like to go early, since we are retired. I just love the fettuccine alfredo with chicken, the breadstick and salad with creamy garlic dressing. Husband loves the alfredo, but without the chicken. We are always served fast and the food is the correct temp. Their house chardonnay is fine. Never have room for dessert, have been known to take some home. Everyone is really friendly. You really can't beat the prices.

I was hungry and decided to explore Williamstown and was directed to Elmers old time Soda fountain and cafe. What a trieasure. This is a charming historical working soda fountain that the owners have restored. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The ice cream treats were great! They have a cafe that seemed to be open at all hours. I bought some unique gifts to take home... The real treasure for me was that it is also the Banjo Cellar with live blue grass music during some nights. My husband & I stopped in another night to hear the band, enjoy the friendly people and had a great evening of fun! This is one place that we will always look forward to visiting whenever we are in the area!
9. El Rio Grande Mexican Resaurant

Reviewed By Gordon L - Lexington, Kentucky
My girlfriend and I had the grilled chicken quesadilla, very good flavor! And the lunch enchiladas, also very good. House Margaritas we're good. We could smell bleach when we walked in the door and actually thought that was a good thing as well. Only negative about the trip that caused us to write this a 4 vs. a 5 were the chips and salsa. The chips were slightly stale and or cooked in old grease. Other than that we would recommend this restaurant for lunch.
