“I can not even explain how amazing the food is. I had the knotty burger and it is huge. Cooked perfect. Thin fries with cheese sauce. This is the second burger I have eaten here and even the service is friendly and was on top of takeing care of us.“
“Food is good nice little place friendly staff very accommodatingKid-friendliness: Had a breastfeeding new born with us and had no issues or complaints from anyone and usually in small hole in the wall places like this for some reason that's not okay but this place was great highly recommendWheelchair accessibility: No stairs so wheelchairs can go in“
“A nice place to stop for a bite to eat in Cook's Forest. While some of the fóod is ordinary fare, it is always done nicely, and they always have a few surprises in the menu. The fish tacos, for example, have large pieces of fish, perfectly done. The desserts are also much more than you'd expect in a little roadside place like this. Most of the seating is on the porch, which is nice when you are out in the woods, with plenty of parking.“
“Admittedly I wasn't sure what to expect with the new ownership, but we were very pleasantly surprised. The food is exceptional for "bar food"; the fried fish, hot sausage, and French fries are my current favorites. The owner and staff are very hospitable and welcoming. The food rivals (similar) restaurants in downtown Pittsburgh. No joke. Food went from a 2 to a 10. We will back for sure!“
“The lodge on the outside, restaurant, and bar is beautiful, very homey. Our room was cute, semi clean, there were some cobwebs and no screen on the window but other than that nice. I don’t know what they use for laundry but I got very itchy/rash from it. The food was not bad but expensive. (We’ve never been to cooks forrest and didn’t realize pricing in the area ran high). We had an enormous bill at the bar but the owner called me and explained it was not how it should be priced so please consider that. The service staff was very friendly and the service was quick especially for them being understaffed. I wasn’t aware the owners live upstairs. They were out of town the one night we stayed, but he did tell me he has someone stay there when they are gone. The walls are thin, no tv in bedrooms (which we liked), there’s live music which all artists were great. The live music went on later than expected the one night but the owner explained there was a delay with the start time. The first night our heater stopped working and it was freezing but the next day it was working perfectly fine (might have just needed to heat up). There are a lot of stairs so if you’re someone who can’t do stairs it might be difficult. I have edited my initial review as the owner personally called to discuss our experience and it seems there was a lot of misleading/incorrect information given from the bartender along with incorrect pricing/ringing us up at the bar. I found it very kind, courteous, and great customer experience that the owner called to personally talk, ask for feedback, and give clarity. I would be a bit wary if you’re listening to what some individuals might say and call the owners directly. It overall was not a bad experience, mostly just wasn’t expecting the pricing (which seemed to be done incorrectly). With the owners call he offered to help rectify some of the things we experienced which I thought was very kind and generous. Knowing what I know now from talking to the owner and not gossip from the bartender has made me feel a lot better and willing to go back. I put pictures of our room.“
“The Liver and onions are so good! that's the best I know that is around!!Plenty of onions and that's what I love! Have to have plenty of onions with your liver, and I've been to places where they chop the onions up in little pieces!No good that way!Kid-friendliness: Besides the bar side they do have a dining side for family!“
