Such a great place. Great food. Great people. This will be a regular stop from now on. Can't wait to go back.Update 12/10/2022: Food remains great. There seems to be a lot of staff turnover recently, as I haven't seen of my favorite servers and bartenders (and Kelly!) in several months. Is the restaurant under new ownership?Update 3/18/2023: The food is still great. Lots more staff turnover, which makes me curious. They were celebrating St. Patty's Day today, so everyone was festive and wearing green.That said, I was a little put off by one server's green t-shirt as it had a derogatory political slogan on it. And you know which one I'm talking about, Brandon.I really don't object to her politics---I just think she's wrong---but I consider J. Marie's to be a respite from what's going on outside its doors. One of my best friends and I have had a regular monthly meetup at J. Marie's for about 2 years now and not once has anyone on staff even whispered (let alone advertised on their clothing) what their political beliefs are while I've been there.To be frank, had I been her boss, I'd have sent her home to change even if I agreed with her.Update 3/24/2024This is the first time I've had less than spectacular food at J. Marie's. I've come here from Toledo once a month for the last 2+ years. If I didn't know better, and I don't, I'd guess it's under new management again. The menu has scaled back and some old favorites are gone. But that's not the subject of this update. No, this time I ordered the hot Italian sandwich which is supposed to be served on ciabatta. Not this time. I actually paused when my server, the always amazing Autumn, set it down wondering if it was the correct meal. It was indeed the Italian but not on ciabatta. This time the sandwich was on what looked like a hot dog bun on steroids. It was larger than a normal hot dog bun, but had the exact same taste and feel as a hot dog bun. Further, the mac and cheese, once the best side on the menu, was just okay. It used to have a panko crust, super cheesy and such great flavor. Today? Nope. It was pretty run of the mill. No panko crust. Not as cheesy. The topping was just melted shredded cheddar.Today's visit was disappointing. I hope it was just an off day. I'll be sad if this is how things are at J. Marie's now. If it is, I'll likely change where I have my monthly lunch in Wapak.

Wife and I love this place. Not a huge menu, but that's a good thing. They make what's on it with skill. Most dishes are $9-$12 including apps. I love the burger with whiskey BBQ sauce, there is actually a dollop of their Mac n cheese on it. Kinda messy but wouldn't have it any other way. Pretzel sticks and beer cheese is scrumptious.

Lent options looked great but I went for the off-menu option. They created a delicious and healthy veggie calzone. Flavors were incredible. Dough is cooked to perfect in the wood stove.Vegetarian options: Easy to create your own vegetarian feast.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free, Off menu items

Pickle bacon pizza is heavenly. Bbq bacon Burger and buffalo sandwich are amazing. Cookie ice cream skillet hits the spot. I want to come back to try everything on the menu.

Good food! Good prices! Fast and friendly service! What more could you ask for?
This place is killing it. We stopped in for lunch after a visit to the Neil Armstrong Aviation Museum and we were really happy we did. My wife had the wood fired ham and cheese and I had the bison burger and both of them really hit the spot. Service was outstanding and we brought a piece of their peanut butter pie home. They really hit the spot.

Nice downtown location. The service was very good. Wasn't overly impressed with the food we ordered. Had 2 appetizers, Spinach dip and Pork sliders. I just had the spinach dip, wasn't bad, but seemed to be lacking some flavor, somewhat bland. The people with me had Pork sliders and they said they were very good. They also felt the spinach dip was lacking. I had French Onion soup which was good, but it could have been baked a bit longer.The drinks were excellent though, and the prices very reasonable.The other food we ordered was good, but not excellent. Didnt try a burger, perhaps next time.

J. Marie’s is named after the owners daughter. Definitely a local gem! The food was fantastic and the bartender, Kylie, told us all about the town. Definitely a place I’d go to when visiting the Wapakoneta/Lima area!
