    The bar area decked out for Christmas
    Rachel R.

    I walked in and was punched in the face by a cozy welcoming atmosphere. It's almost Thanksgiving and Christmas decor is everywhere - it's country, it's industrial, it's warm and inviting. Cloth napkins, lots coffee refills, fascinating brunch menu. I had been hunting for a pulled pork Benedict and found it here - on top of a cheddar jalapeño cornmeal waffle.

    Easy to get reservations online for a busy graduation weekend right when they opened. Service was attentive. Coffee was good as was the food. I was a bit disappointed when I asked for no green onion or garlic and they were both on my plate. The garlic was overpowering on the tomatoes and eggs.

    Catfish sandwich and sweet potato fries

    It's a nice restaurant with a casual atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly and checked back a few times letting us know it wouldn't be much longer for our food. I don't mind waiting a little while but almost an hour for a sandwich and a pasta dinner is unacceptable. The food was good but the wait time needs to improve.

    Omelette, biscuits, and iced tea

    All of the staff was incredibly friendly, and the flower decorations were beautiful. I was so happy to find a veggie-forward breakfast option in the "We Be Yammin'" bowl and my husband enjoyed his omelette and biscuits. The iced tea was really good, too. Strong and cold!

    16 September 2023 -- Saturday brunch, starting around 12:30pm

    Brunch Rating - 3.5/5 I visited for the first time in mid-September 2023 on my day trip to Wooster, Ohio to visit a friend. We both arrived to the restaurant around after 12:00 noon. The restaurant was starting to get busy upon arrival but we luckily were seated right away. FOOD -- I ordered the Loaded Potato Omelette ($13) with side of potatoes -- inside the omelette is bacon, potatoes, green onions. I got mine WITHOUT cheese and sour cream. The omelette was good and tasted like any traditional omelette. The majority of the side potatoes were burnt but the whole meal was still edible. The omelette would have tasted better with tomatoes. I also ordered the Belgian Waffle ($8) which comes with fruit on top but I got the fruit on the side so that I could add syrup on the waffle. PARKING -- Street parking but I think my friend and I found a parking lot behind the restaurant. Overall, the Leaf appears to be a popular restaurant with the locals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. While I don't live close to Wooster, I can definitely see myself visiting again if I'm ever in the area. **** - 86/150 total reviews in 2023 - 637 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 December 2023

    French Onion Soup

    First visit to The Leaf Restaurant and we're already planning on coming back next weekend and it's an hour and 15 minutes away from where we live. The food is AMAZING and the service is phenomenal! Megan C. was our server and she was extremely sweet and very knowledgeable about the menu items. I was in the restaurant business for almost twenty years and I'm probably one of the most nit-picky customers on earth and I couldn't find one thing that could have been better with the service or the food. My wife was floored I didn't criticize one thing! Honestly, we probably only eat out once every other month anymore because I know I can make it better at home and the service isn't ever close to what I expect and should receive. Thank you for proving to me there's still a restaurant out there that provides as high of service and food quality that i hope to receive and expect!

    Adorable restaurant featuring some nice basic food. We enjoyed the dog hair onlette with cube potatoes and amazing hollandaise sauce. My French toast was pedestrian and served without butter and a small side of syrup. Not impressive. Great decor, good service.

    Sunday morning breakfast. What we liked- * immediate seating * cool decor and ambiance * friendly staff * had the wet breakfast burrito - good portion with enough spice/flavor but not spicy hot. Pulled pork was quite good inside the burrito. * French toast was good. What we thought could of been better: * bacon served with the French toast was covered in a cold grease- as it was greasy and cooled off. * they were out of pastures.

    Cowboy Loaded Bowl.

    The food was OFF THE CHARTS. I honestly don't think I've ever had such a fully savory and well-blended breakfast dish. I had the Cowboy Loaded Bowl. The half portion was very filling. My husband had the Evelyn, a ham and Swiss sandwich with French toasted sourdough bread with raspberry preserves dipping sauce. Perfection. You WILL NOT be disappointed if you eat here! Great staff, nice place and location, and a top notch dining stop!

    See all

    Food and ambiance both great. Try the avocado naan! Crab Benedict was amazing! Get reservations for weekend, or sit at bar.

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.

The food I have ate here maaaybe 3 times? & every time I'm just disappointed with the food. I had the "cheesy Louisey" the last time & it was disgusting in my opinion.. it says "beer cheese" which I really like the white beer cheeses.. this was the yellow kind? & literally DRENCHED in it.. so much so, it was gross & inedible to me. Boneless Wings are decent, but not great. I always get a "Green Tea Shot" but in a drink, full cup form lol not a shot. & it always yummy. The bar guy is always fun & great! They also have a ducky claw machine, def entertaining. Also a few other games that my kids enjoyed. Outdoor dining but we couldn't order from out there due to staffing issues? Recently. I think it was. So we had to eat inside. I guess you can table sit, order, & THEN take it outside.. is what we were told. But we just didn't. We wanted to fully dine outside. Decent food & experience. I probably wouldn't have came back if it wasn't within walking distance to a hotel & a local friend being a frequent flyer.

    Great place with really diverse menu, great local beers on tap and set in a really cool atmosphere…read more We went after a College of Wooster Softball game as the Visiting Team from DePauw with family in tow. Got seated quickly, great atmosphere (friendly & casual without being too loud) and the artifacts on the wall and the story of the Stables all made sense. Food was great (I had the local bison burger) and the service was friendly, efficient and quick. Had a custom Old Fashioned with some local rye whiskey and a local brew. Was a great night! Will definitely be back when we are next in town! Nice surprise for a small college town! Definitely recommend!
