    Shrimp po' boy
    Jenn G.

    The food served here was a pleasant surprise. Upon walking in, the place seems more college bar with kitschy Caribbean vibe. A little dust, a small spider web here or there... But then there's the super tasty food! Yum! We love comfort seafood, which they serve up in spades. Looking forward to returning, so I can try other menu items.

    When we walked in I almost walked right out, but I'm glad in the end I stayed. There's a funky old bar/cigarette smell lingering in the air, but once we sat and I looked around I was kind of into the beachy/tropic vibes that the place gives off. Service was very attentive, however it's May 2021, and none of them were wearing masks. If this is something that you are rightfully concerned about, I definitely would not attend until after the mask mandate is over! They had a wide variety of different domestic beers, and they made a variety of frozen drinks. I had a strawberry daiquiri, and it was really good! Both my husband and I had a burger. The burgers were huge! I really enjoyed my locals burger, my husband had the Mac and pulled pork burger, but he didn't enjoy it as much. We both got sides of shoestring french fries, but I wish I had gotten one of the other specialty french fries to compare. My husband was frustrated because the burgers were so big and messy, but no one brought us any silverware or napkins! Beyond that, the service was attentive. Overall, it's a unique little spot in Wooster. I'd be interested in going back, but not sure my husband would be. Lots of people inside seemed to know one another & the atmosphere is definitely unique.

    This place constantly serves up the best food. The atmosphere feels like a beach bar in Florida but the food feels like a 5 star restaurant. We go here often and the food and price are fantastic. We will keep coming back for sure!

    Boursin Philly tacos and mahi mahi tacos

    I have eaten here hundreds of times and it has never disappointed us. Their truffle fries are fantastic. My favorite dish is the Boursin Philly cheesesteak salad.

    Tacos

    Tried the tacos on the server's recommendation. Watermellon-coffe pulled pork and Philly cheese steak tacos were both amazing! Also enjoyed the she-crab soup. Will definitely be back to try orher menu items! Neat beach atmosphere too.

    Fried risotto and sweet potato fries. The sauces are bosses.

    American style bistros. They're good, and that's why they're EVERYWHERE. But you're going to get the same ol' things - potato skins, devils on horseback, fried things, carbs, carbs, carbs. Mix it up once in awhile. Live a little on the wild side. TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. The place to do that is Flamingo Jack's. Formerly a food truck, this brick and mortar location is where the Market Grille used to be. It's not a huge location, but it is configured in a really smart way to maximize the space. The decor isn't incredible, but the food, drinks, and service totally compensate for that. (As do some of the plans. We'll get to that later.) The wife and I visited on a Saturday for appetizers before our smokin' hot dinner date. In hindsight, the food we got at FJ's was way more enjoyable than the fancy expensive place that followed. We sat at the bar, and being early in the day, we were one of the few customers in the place. As expected, we got a lot of attention, and food and drinks came our way fast. We were totally the priority, and not treated like a burden or nuisance. The craft brew selection is really good - while they don't have hundreds and hundreds of beers to choose from, the ones that are available were selected very wisely and are really good. I settled on a draft from Jackie O's, which totally made my day. On the bar, there are large drink containers which feature FJ's version of well drinks. One was an infused berry vodka that looked amazing. The other was a pink lemonade punch type of concoction, which my wife got. It was smooth, refreshing, and not overly fruity, sour, or alcoholic. It was well balanced, and delightful to drink. It was a perfect summer sipper for those who don't like beer. (And, really good on a day with a -15 wind chill, too!) The menu is filled with a lot of creative choices, especially in the entrees section. I'm leery of places that have dozens of ingredients in their dishes, (maybe it's my aversion to that national "chef" who is unwillingly driving people to "Flavortown." That guy's recipe for boiling water contains no fewer than 21 ingredients.), Anyhow... The additional ingredients in FJ's food are all intentional and play a role. Like the Pork watermelon tacos: That texture from the watermelon-cucumber pico is awesome. The fried risotto is amazing, as were the sweet potato fries with marshmallow dipping sauce. I've heard rave reviews of their She-Crab soup. I can't wait to try more at FJ's! Our server told us that there were plans to improve the back patio into a functional area in time for the summer. Pairing that kind of environment with great food and drinks is a welcome, welcome addition to Wooster.

    Denise is the flamingo kid she kicked ass tonight and we said her name right lol D nice. The tacos were delicious they were half-price on Tuesday my friend Mississippi really enjoyed them and he had the IPA great lakes beer if he would've had to it would've hammered him. I am out of practice the place has great lighting in great music I will come back for sure.

    Pine Tree Barn Restaurant - Pastrami sandwich and French Onion soup

    Pine Tree Barn Restaurant

    (93 reviews)

    $$

    Always delicious and beautiful setting for lunch. Crowded most of the time so make a reservation…read more The French onion soup is great

    We stopped by for lunch on our way to Amish country because the pictures of the food seemed to have…read morelots of fresh ingredients and it sounded cute. It's a big restaurant off of a country road with plenty of parking. As of two weeks ago they were doing work on the highway that was kind of unpleasant with grated roads and lane closures but it looks like it will be done soon maybe.... Anyway, it's a large space with a gift shop and shabby chic decor that all appeared to be for sale since everything has a price tag on it even in the restaurant. The service was pleasant enough. The menu has fairly straightforward cafe like offerings of sandwiches and salads. I wanted something light so I opted for the cesar salad in spite of my reservations when it said tomatoes and olives were on it. Weird but whatever chicken, lettuce, croutons and cesar dressing still felt on brand so I went for it. This is not a cesar salad. It was a salad with balsamic dressing of some kind, toasted bread with the crust cut off and a cold chicken breast. And, it comes with bread but I was told they didn't have rye so I ended up with sourdough that was also not sourdough and the waitperson didn't bring it until I was mostly through eating my refrigerator cold chicken. Just, yikes. Additionally, I still don't know how there was rye for my sister's sandwich but I wasn't allowed to order it with my food. As for her lunch, the pastrami was fine but with a lackluster amount of meat. The French onion soup was the only thing that felt reasonable with quality and price. All in all, I think the snack bars or even grocery stores in the area/ Amish country appeared to have better offerings. I wouldn't recommend this place for lunch. The gift shop was cute and reasonably priced so maybe check it out for that but that's it.
