WILLIAMS – The Old Smokey’s across from Dairy Queen on Route 66 was a Williams landmark for years. After serving hundreds of thousands of breakfasts and lunches to locals and travelers alike, the building became unusable. Several years ago, the new owners moved the restaurant downtown next to the mall at 125 W. Route 66.
