Restaurants near Crawford Woods

Always an excellent dining experience! Consistently wonderful food & service.

We happened upon Jags by pure happenstance tonight, the night before Thanksgiving, while traveling to family for the holiday. We were stuck in traffic on 75N and decided we didn’t have it in us to make it all the way to Fort Wayne. 11 hours for a normal 6.5 hour trip is just ridiculous. We booked the Staybridge and I booked a bar reservation at Jags thanks to reviews here, not even realizing it was in the same parking lot! What a fortunate surprise! From walking in the door, to our experience with Dan and his colleague, a lovely gal with rooster earrings, but I can’t recall her name for the life of me, everything was absolutely phenomenal!! The crab bisque, filet and crab cake, the sides, the CARROT CAKE! The espresso martini the Weller CYPB…all of it top notch! Don’t even hesitate or question it. Just go!

We had an absolutely delicious meal at Tano Bistro. I’m still dreaming of the Tuscan chicken sandwich. Everybody at our table loved what they ordered!

Being retired we have done the romantic dinners with flowers and candle light, so this was just a fun change of pace. The staff went all out to ensure that our evening was enjoyable. From being greeted at the door and being shown to our table to the red and pink tablecloths the ambiance was just right for these two seniors date night.

Valentine’s Day dinner at the White Castle…. Let me explain. We have two kids that are very active. Both had practice on Valentine’s Day. The wife and I had a 30 minute gap between running them around. There was a White Castle a minute away from drop off so we decided to try it. I haven’t had WC’s in 19 years. It’s still the same as it was. Probably not going to do it again but we got a funny photo op and a story to go along with it.
