Danielle was our waitress and she was very attentive and pleasant. She fended off well my brother's marriage proposal (if he was 40 years younger, taller, had hair, better looking, a nicer personality, and was rich he might have had a chance). Anyhow, your basic breakfast fare. I got the western skillet and the brother ordered the breakfast burrito. They were excellent! I mean, very tasty. I hope The Nest catches on as a breakfast destination.

Lately, the service has been unpredictable and today was truly a disappointing experience. My wife asked for water three times and never received it, no plates were provided with our appetizers, and the service was just overall slow and inattentive, which was frustrating given that the place was practically empty. It's nice to have an option downtown to dine in, but today's experience will definitely encourage me to start looking elsewhere.

We got there around 1pm and it was packed, but comfortable. We snagged the last available table and appreciated the good selection of beer and cider. Service was friendly and fast too. Which was good since we were starving. Fried pickles and cheese curds were fresh and not at all greasy. I always appreciate when a kitchen knows how to handle their frying oil. We split the fried apps and a karaage rice bowl for a fine lunch to launch us into the rest of the weekend. I would totally go back to this place.

I spend my summers in TC, and there are a number of restaurants I am happy to eat at, but Bubbas I…read morelook forward to. Great burgers (the live burger is my go-to) and a wonderful largely Michigan based beer and cider list. They also have amazing shakes, though I try to consume either large slabs of meat or rich milkshakes rather than both, so I rarely get those. Service can be a little amateurish, but is always pleasantly if slow and neglectful. I don't go if I am in a rush and it is just fine.

The 1/2 pound burger is topped with Fried Cheese, Fresh Jalapeño, Pulled Pork, Cole Slaw, Haystack Onions, Bourbon BBQ Sauce. The burger was very good with a few caveats. The pulled pork is very average and doesn't add anything to the burger. The fried cheese was very good and did add to thd burger. The bourbon bbq sauce was meh and didn't add much. However the meat itself is excellent and I think a plainer burger would have been better. The fries that came with the burger were very good. I also ordered a Chocolate Shake and it was fantastic. the service was very good and everyone was very friendly. Overall a solid 4 star review. Would I return? Absolutely. Definitely for the shakes and I very much believe a simpler burger would have been better.

And then when the waitress came by to the table next to us which came in after us. I explained we still haven't been waited on and the Waitress (owners girl friend) proceeded to get shitty with me. Told me to look around and see what was going on. I can tell you what was going on, it was a lot of tables that have been sitting there and not being waited on. Waiting tables is not her thing especially when a place is busy. customer service is not be her calling!

We had a couple of drinks and the gyro and wings. Both were really good. The gyro was full of meat and the pita fluffy. The wings were perfectly juicy and the sauce was tasty. I only wish they had an option to order a smaller amount. 8 is a lot for us at a sitting, but because they were so good, we took them to the hotel and ate them the next day. The energy of the place is great. Highly recommend.
