People have different tastes when it comes to food. There are many good restaurants in the Chillicothe area. They are worthy destinations after a long day of hiking, biking, sightseeing, or lazing on the deck. You can easily find fast food and chain restaurants (McDonalds, Wendy’s, Olive Garden, and Red Lobster, to name a few) but these are local and serve tasty food.
Old Canal Smokehouse:
What can I say? Smoked Brisket with all the sides or other smoked meats are just what you want. Indoor and patio dining on a busy corner. You’re going to want to try it before you leave. 94 E. Water St., Chillicothe. 740-779-3278
