Customer Reviews

"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!!"

"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. "

"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!"

- HL E.

"The food was ok, but you get a LOT of it for a good price. There are large tables, no booths, a separate bar. It seemed like a place where a lot of regulars and friendly people often gather."

"Close to the lake and harbor. Food was delicious and service was outstanding!! We came hungry and was not disappointed. Great selection of menu options. My family and I love ranch dressing for dipping everything. The ranch was really thick. Too much for us. We will be back to try pizza next! If you go on the weekend may want to call for a reservation."

"Really good food at a great price. While the inside is rather worn and dated, the service, selection and food was excellent. I had the veal cutlet with homemade mashed potatoes. My husband had the hot Italian sub and antipasto salad. The veal was butter tender and done to perfection. They also have a full bar with excellent selections of beer and cocktails. I would definitely go back again. Lots of parking too."

"I share a table that was set for 4 and 2. I ordered clam chowder , it was one the best I had in years. and 8 once ribeye steak medium and both were cooked to perfection . I will definitely come back. I also had a cheesecake todo and it was good."
