Eat Local -- Emily's

There is a side bar to this blog if you scroll down a bit listing some great places to eat in Black Rock.  Here's a picture of tonight's fish fry from Emily's.  The restaurant is up on Hertel and Tonawanda.  It's one of our favorite local spots.  A nice couple owns it and they make all of the food on the premises.  You'll always run into someone you know there -- or someone who knows someone you know!

One thing that might not immediately stand out is the tartar sauce.  It's not served in a plastic container sealed in foil.  It's because they really do make everything they serve.  Nothing is food service.  It's all prepared fresh.  This makes everything you order extra delicious.  If you drive by at any time and don't see a lot of patrons, it doesn't mean they aren't busy.  They are cooking and baking all of the time.

A fish fry is $8.99.  We had New England clam chowder as our started and then a side of fries.  Dinner for two with pop came to $24.00 (that includes tax) -- making the place affordable on top of it all.  It makes sense to eat local and support local businesses -- but if you don't live in Black Rock, come down here and try the place.   You won't be sorry!
