The Forest Nook Restaurant

Located within Cooks Forest, close to Sawmill Theater. We pulled into the parking lot and were greeted by three deer grazing in the yard behind the restaurant:-)

This is a hidden gem in the forest. If you haven't been here, take a day and go get lost and cook Forest and on the way home. This is where you want to stop the food's outstanding. The prices are outstanding. The staff is great. I can't say enough about how much we love this place. We drive up to 2 hours multiple times per year to go and enjoy lunch or dinner. The wife and the kids love the menu and love the atmosphere. Go get lost sometime. Stop by and see these guys. You won't regret it.

Simply great food and service. The owner is very friendly and welcoming and treated us like family. The Italian cuisine is as authentic as it gets and the Red sauce is delicious. The portions are such that we had a decent amount of leftover for lunch the next day. I recommend calling ahead for reservations as this place is extremely busy, for good reason. Make sure you save room for dessert; the key lime pie is incredible.

Very expensive
I believe it was like $27.95 or $28.95 for a turkey dinner😳
I don't honestly remember the prices of everything, after I saw the price of that turkey dinner. I thought that was outrageous, ridiculous!
I had a burger but it wasn't a bad price. It was $15.95
Fries were definitely under cooked !
Service was excellent.
Very friendly.
I just think the food is very overpriced!

Great food in a great setting. Nothing better than sitting outside with the forest around you. A family run business that never disappoints.

Stopped here while on a Sunday drive. The pizza was excellent! The crust is obviously made fresh and the toppings were delicious. The staff is very friendly.

Food was bland and flavorless.
It was only a burger patty with lettuce, a single onion slice, and part of a tomato...
Service was fine, but the food was just bad.
Even the fries sucked.
Its a tourist trap for the most part. Neat to check out, maybe try, but thats about it..

We have been there several times over the years and never had a bad experience

I look forward to them opening every year. I'm from a more populated area than the Clarion area, although I live here now, and I would put the Nook up against any restaurant in Pittsburgh. It doesn't get any better! The food and service never disappoints!
