The industry Accommodation and Food Services features the oldest hotel in Wooster, the American House, operated back in the 1830s, and other accommodations have made their mark on Wayne County in the nearly two centuries since.
Now recognized as a destination for foodies, Wayne County has catered to the changing tastes of locals and visitors alike. Longtime favorite Smithville Inn Restaurant in Smithville (now closed) featured classic homestyle meals, and Amish-style restaurants like Der Dutch Essenhaus in Shreve also draw many visitors.
A modern wave of restaurants and cafes has brought more international flavors to the area: Tulipan Hungarian Pastry and Coffee Shop, Basil Asian Bistro, Henry Station Restaurant Cafe & Pizza, Salsaroja Bar & Grill, and Flamingo Jack's Market Street Grille & Pub..
