We had a wonderful breakfast and the overall ambience is pleasant. However, there's a geasy film all over the floor, including the wood restaurant floor, kitchen and bathroom. Customers have to pass the kitchen to get to the bathroom (which was also dirty) and the kitchen looked dirty -- food and greasy surfaces. Clean it up!,,

I went there on A Sunday at 10am, the stairs were full so I knew the wait would be long. But luckily after 10 minutes the hostess asked if their were any parties of 2, so my wife and I skipped right to the top. If you go with a group of 3 or more, expect a long wait. They... More

Their quality of food is excellent, and is perfect for lunch and breakfast time during the day. Their burgers are quite good and pretty huge! Though the environment is small, therefore when its busy, there is a longer wait. If they could accommodate more area for sitting, it would be better. It feels a little closed in when pact. But...

They serve breakfast all day long. I always get the California Reuben. You may have to wait for a table, but it's worth it. I used to go here in college and now 28 years later it is still delicious.

My daughters go to school at WMU and we try to finid a different spot everytime someone visits. This is a breakfast spot (at noon) for them and their friends so I gave it a try. Good food made with little twists that make it quite unique and special. Small, cozy and relaxing atmosphere and a great bakery/coffee shop on... More

The Crow's Nest never disappoints! My favorite is their breakfasts which are offered at any time of day. They make fresh scrambles and have a variety of sandwiches with locally grown and organic foods. The atmosphere is on the second floor so you feel like you are in a tree house, with local artwork displayed throughout. I adore dining here... More

Tried it out on a Saturday AM, as I had an extended business stay and I had heard good and seen good reviews of it. Located on the second floor with a cafe located below, there was about a 15 minute wait. No place to sit, have to stand in the stairwell until you are seated. Once seated we were... More

Nice, casual dining restaurant. Cool college-town atmosphere. Located in historic Victorian area. Good mix of mainstream and eclectic menu choices. We had a party of 3 adults and 4 kids. Restaurant was surprisingly family-friendly. They have children’s menus and an ample supply of high-chairs. The chicken tenders were excellent (I stole some). But the portion sizes are large. If kids... More
