Jamestown, New York Restaurants
Whether you're biking through Allen Park, walking in Chadakoin Park or paddling down the Chadakoin River, when visiting Jamestown, you are going to need something to eat. While many stick with the chain restaurants like Friendly's Applebees and Outback, a better choice would be some privately owned restaurants. Jamestown has plenty of them. Here are some favorites.

Macduff's Restaurant

Macduff's has, as the website says, "Everything you never expected in a Jamestown restaurant." Despite its very Scottish name, Macduff's actually serves French cuisine. Though the permanent menu is rather short, only offering two appetizers, three entrees and two desserts, there is a fantastic "verbal" menu that changes nightly. Don't expect a cheap meal here, as Macduff's will run you upwards of $30 per person.

Forte

Forte serves very worldly cuisine, with dishes from a variety of places. Serving dishes like mac and cheese, escargot and a falafel burger, you can expect a variety of choices from Forte's eclectic menu. Their dining room and bar are decorated in a deep red dressed with various modern art paintings. This place will run you a minimum of $20 for dinner per person.

Honest John's Restaurant

If you're in the mood for pizza, then Honest John's is the place. Though it's like your typical take out pizza place, you can certainly sit in and eat. Along with a variety of pizzas and toppings to choose from, Honest John's also makes a variety of sub sandwiches and hot wings. A large pizza here runs about $10, but if you're planning on just a quick lunch or dinner here, then expect to spend about $7 - $8 per person.
