    Love the old school jumbo wings! A must order! Dry and wet sauces available. Nice and crispy skin & delicious meat. They have awesome sandwiches, burgers and much more. They have indoor and outdoor areas. Smoking available downstairs. Ed the Emu says hi! We visit whenever in tow

    The double patty hamburger platter was awesome! The service was great and so was the food.

    Not accustomed to spending so much on two hamburger platters,but everywhere we ate in this region was expensive. The service was good. The food was good. Not extremely busy. Enjoyed it very much.

    18 and over inside due to smoking. They have an outside pavilion for families. We did not seem welcome with two children so we left.

    Finally made it to the Forest Nook after being recommended by many locals…read more It did not disappoint. After a long day on the local trails the family was hungry. The food was great! As a bit of a foodie, I can be tough to please. The wings were as good as any you could get in Buffalo. The burger was great. Cooked to perfection. And those fries! Ive been craving those fries! The staff was polite and attentive. Of the places in the Forest that we have eaten, this was definitely the best experience!! We will definitely make this our first stop on next year's trip!!

    I recommend visiting this charming restaurant located in Cook Forest…read more There is a little store adjacent to the restaurant which has really cute little homemade gifts and Bigfoot related merchandise. You select the items you want to purchase and then bring to the restaurant. Walking into the café/restaurant, there wasn't a sign "wait here to be seated" etc. or anything like that.. so we caught the attention of a waitress who was friendly and sat us at a table. The forest nook was busy on this Saturday afternoon. The patrons seem to be locals and visitors as well. The menu had something for everyone and our server was quite friendly. My boyfriend ordered the personal pizza which was incredibly fresh. I ordered the steak and cheese sandwich. My sandwich was also delicious and very filling. There were specialty cocktails available as well as beer on the menu. I really enjoyed the outside décor of The Forest Nook. The restaurant updates their hours and special events on their facebook page. They also accept reservations on their website. We had a great first experience and cannot to return!!

    Stopped in to Mama Doe's restaurant at the Shiloh Resort in Clarington, PA (SR 36) just south of…read moreCook Forest State Park. First of let me tell you it is tucked in of the road. We went for the breakfast buffet. The restaurant is in the center of The Shiloh Resort campground. When we arrived (Saturday @ 11:00 am) there was an empty parking lot and only one other table seated. Now I was a little worried. Mid July and only one other table, what gives? I am normally the one to try and support mom and pops but I was a little apprehensive. We decided to take a chance at $6.95 it was worth a shot. And I am so glad we did. Mama Doe greeted us immediately with a warm smile. Everyone was very attentive. I loved the fact that they didn't load up the buffet pans to let items sit. Everything came out fresh. The Buffet Scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs with peppers onion cheese and tomato (and a hint of curry if I'm not mistaken), those eggs were delicious. Next sliced potato home fries with onion, perfectly browned. Thin sliced bacon (I like mine thicker, but it was ok) and savory sausage links browned to perfection). Thick sliced French toast, this was sweet with a touch of nutmeg I believe. I hope I am not giving away Mama Doe's secrets. Pancakes were light and fluffy. The biscuits were fresh and warm. The sausage gravy was ok, I prefer crumbled sausage. After breakfast, we struck up a conversation with Ray and Doe and the other patrons. Ray & Doe told us about the history of the resort. Then offered a tour of the place. It is a beautiful campground with a chapel, restaurant, main lodge, cabins, and camping areas. Right between Cook Forest State Park and Clear Creek State Park. I know we will be visiting again.

    I've been coming here for years and I look forward to the trip each time. Delicious Italian food,…read morebest pies in the forest, and a wonderful breakfast menu are just the beginning. If you have a chance to talk to the owners you'll find what a sweet couple they are. Note: the restaurant is not always open Monday and Tuesday, so check hours before you go. But if you go, prepare to have a wonderful meal! It's off the beaten path, and to me, adds to the charm of Cook Forest as a whole.
