When we stood on a corner in Downtown Wapakoneta looking lost and confused on a Sunday afternoon, an older gentleman with a cane approached and asked if we needed help. We replied that we were looking for food but weren't sure which direction to walk. He gave us information and directions to four different restaurants. J Marie's was one of those four, and the wood-fired food called to us. It was just a short walk from where we were.My husband and I ordered what we thought were personal sized pizzas (we had leftovers!!!) and our son got the "bison burger" with red potatoes after hearing two recommendations from local people (and seeing the burger delivered to the guy at the next table). We also added the sausage stuffed mushrooms. The food was delicious and it was all prepared in one of two wood-fired brick ovens (seen behind Michael's head in the one picture).I want to return to try some of the other wood-fired items on the menu.Staff was very attentive during our visit. Several people checked on us throughout the course of the meal. Great personalities, too. They made us feel welcome.
Food was terrific. My wife,daughter and I were exited to share small portions of our food to see who ordered the best item from the menu.Kid-friendliness: Staff seemed to enjoy serving the kids I observed. Kids seemed to connect with staff, too.

Visited the Sunday before the Eclipse, the bartenders and servers were on top of things even with a full house. Awesome beer selection! Margherita pizza and stuffed shrooms were very good. So glad we stopped in!

I don't ever want to leave this place! Here for the 2024 eclipse and WOW! I had the open face mushroom sandwich while hubby had Buffalo chicken sandwich. Between the awesome tunes and the fabulous food there was fantastic service. Walked right in and sat at the bar and I'm seriously needing this place in my town. You won't be disappointed!

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
