Experience Through Their Eyes

This was the second time we've stopped to eat here. The burgers are the best with great flavor. The fresh cut fries are awesome as well. The service was outstanding!! Thank you, Tawnya, for your superior service. It was fun chatting with you. This place also has a nice, comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!!

We were passing through Ashtabula and thought The Crow's Nest looked good to try! We loved the food, the service from Erica was the best we've had in a long time. There's ample parking and it's a spacious, wheelchair accessible establishment with outdoor seating that is dog friendly!

Oh. My. Word. The ribs are, without a doubt, the BEST ribs I've ever had, anywhere, anytime, ever. I'd give them 6 stars if I could, 10/10 HIGHLY recommended. Buckeye Pie is very good as well. Excellent service, and we enjoyed the mostly-homemade Christmas decor. My wife had gnocchi with meat sauce, and while the gnocchi and marinara were very good, the "meat" part of the sauce was chopped up meatballs, which were not great. Easily avoided by just getting plain sauce next time , but a little disappointing. If anyone from Crow's Nest sees this, three suggestions. Revamp the meatballs - I suggest more herbs, garlic, and *definitely* salt. Throw the garlic bread on the flat top for a minute to crisp it up, then add the cheese and stick it under the broiler if needed. And if I were put in charge of the buckeye pie, I would add more whipped cream, chopped dry-roasted peanuts instead of "peanut butter" chips, and offer a drizzle of chocolate syrup - nothing fancy, simple Hershey's syrup would be fine. Thank you for listening.

First timer to the Crow's Nest and can't wait to go back! My husband and I were recommended to try it out and it didn't not disappoint! Even though the place was jamming already at 4:00 on a Saturday, we were attended to very quickly. We sat on the bar side at a table by the entry door. There are lots of tvs around the bar space so if you are a sports fans you will not miss a play! One of the bartenders came over right away to greet us and drop off menu. We ordered a couple drafts and they arrived to the table pretty quick. They have a good variety of selection on the menu. We ordered a coconut shrimp app as well as a rigatoni dinner and a manacotti dinner. My husband's dinner came with a salad, I upgraded my selection with a side salad too. The app arrived to our table in good time along with our niced sized salads and a basket of the best tasting Italian bread! Our pasta dinners arrived just as we were finishing up our salads and were both amazing! Both were a good portion and tasted delicious. We both opted for the meat sauce. It was very tasty. I perfer a sweet sauce and this was right on point. Too full to clean our plates, we were excited to be able to take leftovers home for a nice lunch the next day so we could enjoy the tasting again! Great place! Very big seperate dinning room too! Clean and well staffed! Put this place on you list to visit !

The Crow's Nest was a nice place! The waitress was friendly and patient. The only bad things about the food, in my opinion, is that there was too much mayo on the BLTs. They became so messy but they still tasted great. And, for the onion rings, the onion rings were not made in-house or they didn't look/taste like it. Overall, it is a nice place to go to eat and relax!
