I moved to Amherst about a year ago and have been a regular at Mels Crows Nest since the first day I went there. Im not a big fan of the chain restaurants and I knew from the outside that its been around for a while...its a throw-back type of establishment in which many people cant find anymore and would... more

Mel's is truly the corner bar. Without the neon on the front it could be anything. Once inside, it is as dreary as the outside. The window are dirty, inside and out. Curtains are missing and the floor tiles were missing while I waited at the bar. The what appeared to be underage bartender was pleasant enough when he finally... more

I used to go to the crows nest from time to time for lunch to have a sandwich which was good and at a nice price. I couldnt stand listening to the owners BS and watching him fumbling, bumbling and stumbling while taking peoples orders. I heard they had a good fish fry and I waited and waited and waited!... more

Great food, but it took forever to get our food. Got there early at 4:30 and it just didn't seem to matter. We ordered right away, and waited an hour and ten minutes to get our fish fry. There was a total of 12 tables on our area of the restaurant, one table had food, the other 11 were waiting... more

I have been to this place just once, and that was enough. The owner is a rude, arrogant little man who does not belong running a business. After waiting an hour for a table, and then another 10 minutes just to give our drink order. Finally after another 20 minutes, our order was taken.......Great, we were on our way finally....Wrong,... more

Okay, the place is an old, small corner bar, but the fish is totally worth it. As a 25 year customer I can say that the service isn't always super and the wait can be long, but it truly is worth it. If you don't like the ambience you can always do take out, just call early enough. Not only... more

I drive by Mel's Crow's Nest in Getzville, NY every day on my way home from work. I decided to try having a fish fry there last Friday with my husband to satisfy my curiousity about the corner bar/ restaurant. Big Mistake! Not only is the parking limited, the windows so dirty you can't see in or out, but it... more
