We dined there with a group of 8 during the gingerbread tour. They were very busy and a bit understaffed, but we took that into consideration and would certainly go back. Great food options and drinks, too.

We love eating at the Nook in Cook Forest! There is nothing better than a home cooked meal after a day in the woods. And there gift shop is alot of fun too. Highly recommend!

We went in the late fall and their outdoor dining area was enclosed with heaters to keep people warm. We were seated by the door, as we were told there weren’t any more tables. Then a women and her kids should up and they obviously knew they owner and they were taken right back to a table in the warmer section. The greeting was a “surprised to see you” type so I can’t imagine they had reservations. The owner asked us if we were too cold and we said yes, so he moved us and then acted rudely the rest of the time we were there. The hot chocolate was tepid and the food was forgettable. I’ve lived in the area for 20 years and never went there. You’re not missing anything.

This was one of the worst meals I have ever had at a restaurant. I had the shrimp scampi and the noodles that were above the sauce were dried out. My wife had the ribs and they seemed warmed up and didn’t taste good. She only ate a third of them. She was still hungry, so she tried the peach cobbler, she wasn’t able to eat much of that either. The dishes cost almost $30 a piece. We were a lot more satisfied at applebees the next night for $28 for us both.

Cute place but service wasn’t good. We were practically the only people there but were given the tiniest table to eat at. The server wasn’t very personable at all and although there seemed to be a lot of staff, no one approached our table until later in the meal to see if we needed anything. I very much would have liked another drink but after waiting so long, I asked for the check instead. We won’t be coming here again.

Beautiful location
To quality of the food was above my expectations.
The price was very reasonable for where they are located and the quality of food. Service was good. They were very busy when me and my wife had ordered takeout.
There was a mistake with our order, but they promptly fixed it.
Great place all in all we will be back

Cute place nestled in cooks forest. Great vibes and great service. Very basic, kinda odd menu. Food and drinks are definitely nothing to write home about. I had to lol when the bruschetta came out. Diced tomato and pizza cheese on texas toast. Can't lie tho I crushed it...
