...Frontier Fort is why Applebee's exists. Its food is more consonant with the local culture - the main offerings are beef and bison, which are both raised within a very short drive of Jamestown - but my meal was prepared with indifference.

Buy a Kings t-shirt or a Von Dutch bowling...
Inside, the restaurant is cavernous, all maple-oak paneling and beamed ceilings, fireplaces in every corner and military artifacts displayed throughout. Forget the sirloin: machismo is the real plat du jour, all day, every day, as the overwhelmingly male clientele negotiates business deals amongst glass cabinets of 1940s military uniforms and below giant stuffed animal heads...
