After Broken Rocks moved to Wooster I just had to visit while in town.Broken rocks is a great business!  Being vegan, it's obviously tough to find places that will willingly accommodate my dietary restrictions (let alone know what they are).  Whenever I go to Broken Rocks (I used to frequent their location in Loudonville before they moved to Wooster) they create something special for me, since there is nothing vegan on the menu.  Their attitude and service is wonderful!  And the ambiance of the new location is incredible!  Artsy, even!  High ceilings, and large paintings on the walls, and a long layout, this reminds me of a slightly larger version of something that came from the New York scene.

Our September 2008 visit was very satisfying. Both of my dining companions enjoyed their crab cakes and my thin crust west coast style pizza was excellent. The tomato and mozzarella salad used very flavorful tomatoes. Fresh and tasty overall.This was our 2nd visit and both were successful. The room is pleasant and the waitstaff fine, even if a bit inexperienced in the first visit.I hold back one star, because the house margarita is OK at best, and I certainly am particular when it comes to a margarita. I recommend that the restaurant look into fresh juice and decent liqueurs (Cointreau, Grand Marnier, Gran Gala) for  margaritas instead of mixes and cheap triple sec.

Coffee was lukewarm, cookies were hard, service was cold. Love, your out-of-town friend.

This place has exposed brick. Now, to you fancy MidWest/East Coasters, this may not be a big deal, but coming from California where we don't have brick anything because we have things called EARTHQUAKES, this is amazing.You wouldn't know it by looking at it, but Broken Rocks has some pretty damn good pizza. They were very accommodating to my vegetarian (read: difficult) girlfriend, and tweaked our pizza accordingly. The (free) bread was really, really good, but you'd expect that from a place with "bakery" in the name. Biggest shocker: these guys actually do a pretty good mojito.I wish California had Ohio's tax rate.

Positives: ambience, bread, pizza and wine/beer selection. Negatives: skimpy on the food portions and tardy front-end serviceI enjoy the brick wall, high ceiling, liveliness, bread and pizza, but the rest of the menu and the service can be improved. For instance, the price to portion ratio of lunch sandwiches is too high; a lunch of two sandwiches, two soft drinks and a soup should not cost $30 with tip.  And, call me a bit of a Creole-Cajun snob, but spicy chicken soup does not a gumbo make and it's spelled etouffee, not etuoffe.  (If you're going to do it, do it right, especially in the food biz.)  The French dip, pizzas and Belgian chocolate custard are indeed wonderful, if lacking a bit in portion size, so points for that.  As for the service, the waitstaff is extremely pleasant, but the host takes a long time to acknowledge and seat us each time.Overall, a great place that has room for improvement. Cook what you know, have the host at least smile and say hi when customers enter (we don't mind waiting if we've been acknowledged) and consider increasing the portion size by 5-10%.  Otherwise, I'll be back for the pizza, cocktails and airy space!Update: I keep going back weekly for the sheer youthfulness of the place, and bartender Jamie is sweet, helpful and great conversation.  Try the Campus Oaks Syrah, it's a bargain.

Broken Rocks is a great little oasis in Wooster.  I wouldn't have expected to find a restaurant like it here; it has a fairly hip vibe for Wooster, at any rate.The food is delicious.  I've been here for both lunch and dinner, and some favorite dishes include:tomato and garlic soupfrench onion soup (great flavor but not too cheesy, which I have mixed feelings about.  Good for the arteries, bad for the cheese-aholic in me).Greek saladPizza with smoked salmon and goat cheese (*delicious* as leftovers)Rhubarb margaritaI've also had the burger, which I was not crazy about.  It was ok, but the meat was not very flavorful and had a weird texture.  Come on guys, this is cow country!Service is usually solid: friendly, very relaxed and you won't feel rushed.  Sometimes the service borders on a little slow.  You may have to flag down your waitress to get the check.

Wooster does not have many exotic culinary options, believe it or not. Of course, there's Matsos. Also, there's that creepy hookah bar that may or may not serve edible Middle-Eastern food, a relatively new Chipotle (which I enjoyed on many occasions during my tenure in OH), and several locations of Bob Evans, yes, but if that isn't your thing, I would highly suggest cramming your gaping maw with some of the victuals here at Broken Rocks.The bread alone is quite outstanding. I'm big on bread, and a connoisseur of grilled cheese, and this place delivers. The soup is tasty, the salads are tasty. Tasty times all around. The only problem is that this is often where Wooster's 'elite' meet to eat. So, if you don't want to run into most of the members of your poetry class, or if you are sick of self-righteous college students altogether, avoid on weekend nights.
