Cool place. Nothing spectacular inside however the food was good. I see alot of mixed reviews…read morehere. I can see why as this place has the small bar feel but is huge. Could be overwhelming if full. So the burger was cooked perfectly as I requested. Had good seasonings and texture. Its not a fancy burger. That is what makes it a good burger. Onion rings were great. Hot fries too. Great service at the bar...i will be back for the burger for sure.

Went in on Thursday evening with parents, sister, and grandparents…read more Customer Service was lackluster. When we finished our appetizer they didn't take the plates away and when they served the main course the table got crowded quick. We asked to change the tv channel to the baseball game but we had to ask twice, and then they were not able to change the channel and it took them a long time to change it. We got to see the last out of the game but when we asked it was the 8th inning. Seemed to be an issue between the bartender (where the tv remotes were stored) and the waitresses. This is mainly an issue of management (or lack thereof) since staff did not seem to be on the same page. Appetizer: Cheese Bread Sticks: - Comes with ranch and marinara sauce - Oily, to the point where the cheese was not cooked to where it should be - Crust is nice Usually places that serve "cheese sticks" are mostly bread with some cheese, this place is the opposite where you get a bite full of pure cheese. At least it's a better problem but if they cooked it with much less oil and had a little more bread underneath, it would taste fantastic. Main Dish: Made our own Pepperoni and Pineapple Pizza: - Oily, same as cheese sticks - Slightly undercooked (because of excess oil) - Crust was nice, good dough The reason I gave this a 4/5 was because I have eaten here before and my experience was better. Positives: Seem to have the right ingredients and recipe for success, they just need to pull it together. Good place and atmosphere. Negatives: Oily food (easy to fix), and lack of management. There seems to be no real sense of passion for the food they make, which could be a problem down the road. (Perhaps the chefs are passionate as they have the right ingredients, just need to make the complete dish if you know what I mean, but that is not in the public eye)

The waitress left without asking what we wanted to drink or acknowledging they we were there. mean time Hosteses kid stood at end bar, the owner behind bar chitchat with a customer who was leaving. After ten minutes we left. I am not sure how you don't actually take at least drink order and send out with the hostess. Maybe stop standing behind the bar and ask if we like a drink, two Diet Coke would have been it. I heard place has sold. To the new owner, good service or any service is better then customer not being helped. Maybe hire another waiter and not have a hostess. Or train the hostess to multi task. This place could be a valuable restaurant. We will wait to we hear it has new owners to return

I was struggling to decide between the Prime Rib and the Lasagna. I was prompted to try the lasagna since it was made fresh in house every day. I'm so glad k made this choice!! My only disappointment is the atmosphere - it is always dark and kind of depressing. It is just the style of the restaurant and not my preference. It isn't a knock.

We made reservations and upon arrival, we saw they had our table all set with menus for us. It was…read morenice to be expected. The restaurant is very small with a bohemian vibe. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Their menu is primarily burgers although they have a vegetarian black bean burger option. You can order one of their creative burgers or build your own. They allow you to substitute wagyu beef on any menu burger as well. I ordered the Green Envy, which had white cheddar cheese and olive tapenade. I asked to have it cooked well done. It had a slight bit of pink but nothing I couldn't stomach. The olive tapenade added a salty taste but the burger wasn't salty so it was balanced. My husband ordered a Wagyu burger and asked for it to be cooked medium but it was medium rare at best but he still ate it. The burgers come with chips. I opted to order the appetizer Truffle Fries. They were very good - the right amount of sauce with Parmesan sprinkled on top. We will come here again - there were many burgers I wanted to try and what we had was good.

I had one of their specialty burgers and my wife had the coconut shrimp with brussels sprouts it was all excellent. The service was good as well as the ambiance of the place. Shame on me for not trying before. We will be back. The place is not that big but I did notice some outside seating options. Give The Nest a try and you will be back!

A hidden gem in North Michigan!…read more I was visiting Alpena for a diving trip and was recommended this place. Specifically the Fire Burger and their Poutine. Our party was 6, they gave us "outdoor beers" and a pager. When a table opened up we sat down and I was immediately impressed. Our server was friendly and helpful, super sweet. She handled our accommodations (one of my friends had a lot of specific "requests" for his meal.) We got the poutine and mozzarella sticks for our appetizers... holy sh*t.... The poutine was INCREDIBLE. The mozzarella sticks were clearly house made. Just absolute perfection. I took the recommendations of my friend, and got the Fire Burger... insane. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Great beers. Great apps. Great burger. Just an all round great time. You owe it to yourself to try this spot.... And if you don't think so, you probably hate puppies and America.
