The Nest

Terrific breakfast spot. We were looking for a good place to get a good old fashioned breakfast. Eggs over medium hash browns well done. It was perfect. We will be back next time we are in vermilion.

If you want a blue collar, local townie experience, you will be happy. They are not very flexible with menu choices and some of the servers need to work on hygiene. Prices are fair. It was an okay experience. I’ll go back, but I won’t rush there.

My family and I stopped here after a hike in the nearby metroparks one snowy Sunday afternoon. I was a little worried at first when we walked in and it smelled like church, and the décor was reminiscent of a church basement reception hall. However, the food more than made up for the ambiance! I got the chicken gyro and fries and both items were delicious. My dad got an omelette and hashbrowns that looked amazing. Everything was very inexpensive, as well. Definitely worth a try.

I have been going to the Nest since I was a little girl, and the food and the people are still so kind. The service is always great, and their menu is fun. It has an excellent breakfast foods selection, and unlike most places in the area, they give some healthy options, such as wheat toast and having the option to have egg whites in your omelette. (Thumb up for that!). I tried a bacon, mushroom, and Swiss omelette that was heavenly and also gigantic! It actually kept me full until dinner time. My son’s chocolate chip pancakes were adorable and he loved the cute Mickey Mouse design. Definitely a kid-​friendly establishment.:)
On the other hand, I do truly wish that there was another side option to go with the omelette. It comes with a ton of hash browns, which looked good, but honestly, that’s just way too much food and too many carbs for me! I asked if I could substitute them for a fruit or veggie side, but they do not allow substitutions. I can understand that, but I really don’t like to be wasteful. Other than that, though, awesome place!

Great food at great prices. There is no better choice for breakfast in Vermilion. Wait staff is always on point and keeps the coffee flowing. I’ve never been disappointed with this place. I’d recommend their pancakes, and if you’re feeling really wild — get some biscuits and gravy.

Been to this place twice and have had good experiences both times. The food is good and usually prepared fairly quickly and the staff is generally nice. No complaints at all. Good for lunch and breakfast (not open for dinner hours).
I will return here again in the future.
