You will find this place on the right side of Olympic Hwy before reaching Aberdeen. We were heading to a game at Aberdeen and wanted to grab something before start of the game. Cheap burgers. We ordered couple of cheeseburgers, chicken and a garden burger with fries on the side. Wait time was long; there were no other customers - still they took almost 15-20 mins to get us the food. We planned to dine in but then later picked it up as take out due to the delay. Coming to the burgers - loved the food. Nothing to complain about. Really enjoyed the freshly made hot burgers. Shame we couldn't enjoy it while sitting there than from a moving car. Small place with a handful of tables. Very casual ambiance. Looks like a take out place than a dine in. Staffs were very friendly. Despite the delay, I am rating them high for the great burgers they made that day! read more

The overpriced BLT I ordered took 15 minutes despite no other customers, was on small thin bread (think the cheapest sandwich bread you'd find at Walmart), and appeared to be slapped together by a third grader using as little amount of ingredients as possible. Dry and unsatisfying. I had to eat elsewhere afterwards as I was still quite hungry. I don't mind paying extra to support a small business, but the quality of the food and service here left me feeling a bit ripped off. read more

Heading Easy t from the coast and swung through the drive-thru for a quick bite. Cheeseburger was one of the best ever. The edges were crispy and crunchy and delicious! Tater tots were good but a bit cold. We also ordered the fish and chips which came out piping hot... so they probably just finished the burger/tots before that was done. Very friendly staff and looked nice and clean inside. It did take about 15 minutes to get our food, FYI. read more

Stopped here once. Expensive for fast food but great service. Order in only. Items are ordered individually. Tots cost more than fries. Shakes looked interesting with lots of different ice cream flavors. read more

I've read some of the 1 star reviews and I agree that the wait time is ridiculous, in fact the first time we hit the drive-thru we left. We attempted a couple days later and decided to wait. We order two milk shakes and the wait seemed to be about 15-20 minutes because there was a vehicle in front of us. I think if they had one more person working on food and drinks to help out the person in the window maybe that would bring people back. Our shake was absolutely delicious and the girl at the window was polite and sweet. We will be back but will remember to bring our patience. I would love to see this place serve customers quicker but maybe it's not feasible for the owners to pay for another employee. Regardless, if you want a delicious shake don't hesitate to visit the Crows Nest, just bring your patience and you will be very happy. read more

Crows Nest Drive-In - Blackberry Shake, deeeelish - Burgers Near Me - Montesano, Washington

Good food, good portions, and a pretty standard wait time. Would highly recommend caving in and getting a malt. I'm only giving it 4 stars though, as one time when I went I used the drive thru. Despite there only being 2 cars in front of me, this visit had me waiting in line for a touch over half an hour. This was in the middle of the day in a car with no A/C so I got a little bit of onset heatstroke, but it was worth it. read more

Crows Nest Drive-In - A guy pulled in front of The Crow's in a Chevelle that looked like it drove straight out of a museum so figured I should share. - Burgers Near Me - Montesano, Washington

Great burgers and fish sandwich! Decent prices and friendly staff. Menu has something for everyone!

Bad service and unappreciated employees wouldn't recommend going here they are slow on food and the food is awful

We always stop here on our way through. No gluten free options unfortunately, but I wouldn't really expect any this far away from a metro. Otherwise good food and good service every time. They're always friendly and they don't look at us sideways for being city folk. read more

Had the basic burger deluxe and fries and thought both were very good. Burger was tasty and the toppings were very flavorful . Fries were in abundance and cooked properly , . The place is clean and the staff is very efficient. I definitely will stop here again on my way through . Prices were also very fair as the deluxe burger is only 7 bucks and some change . read more

The food was cheap and delicious we got a plain burger with sautted onions and bacon burger and a kids plain cheeseburger along with a large fry one big scoop of ice cream everything was delicious the cashier was so polite and kind all for $30. - Worth the stop. read more

I got a "Philly Steak Sandwich" and it was a dry sandwich with steak on a hot dog bun. I guess I'm one of the odd people that assumes a steak sandwich with "Philly" in the name would have cheese and not be a kid's portion. I've never seen any "Philly" sandwich without cheese. Their burgers are okay, the Philly Steak Sandwich was not good (unless you like a sandwich with just steak and bread), shakes are good with real ice cream, and the service was good, but my nephew and I were laughing at the sizes of the sandwiches when we got the order. Looked like a kid's meal. Prices were really high for what we got. Also the mac & cheese bites looked like frozen cheap ones from the grocery store with Kraft mac & cheese inside, but I'll let that slide since I've never had a good mac & cheese bite anywhere. They're always either flavorless, too dry, or no cheese, or any one of those. Looking at other reviews it looks like they've been serving the same food for years, so I guess they stay in business from people that don't know any better. Two years ago a menu photo shows the Philly Steak Sandwich at $9.17. Honestly it's not worth $5.17. I believe now it's $13. Seems like a good location and it would be easy to fix the food to match the prices, but apparently they don't want or need to. If you're cruising through that town, I'd recommend a different place. read more

The service was fantastic, everything was clean, and the food was good. I got a fish sandwich and onion rings. The sandwich was only fish, lettuce, and mayo on a bun. It was good, but nothing super noteworthy. The onion rings were much better and I would order them again if I returned. Very crispy and light! My friend got the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and hash brown. He said the food was similar to McDonald's but "fresh and actually good... actually it was way better than McDonald's". I was really impressed with how clean the bathroom was and how great it smelled! There is a pac man arcade game inside, so bring quarters to play! Good place to stop if you're driving through, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

Great little stop on our way into Long Beach. Nearby gas station too. Friendly service with lots to choose from on their menu, all with good portion sizes. Unique options like burritos and tacos too that you wouldn't necessarily expect from a place like this. My mother in law ordered this and said it was good. The burger was exactly you would expect from a long time standing burger joint. It did not disappoint. Lots of milkshake options too. Bathrooms for customers were clean and limited seating due to smaller indoors. They also had a drive thru too if you're on the road and don't want to stop. read more

Wait time was forever and the girl working in there was more worried about the customers inside than the drive thru customers. We waited over 30 minutes and we got there before everyone in the restaurant. And received our food after everyone inside had gotten theirs and left. We were ignored when we tried to ask if they could give us a wait time estimate after waiting for 20 minutes. Rude service and employees. Would never come here again. read more

Coming her for years today was horrible. Went through drive thru. Slow as all get up. Ordered s fries. Somehow didn't hear that but heard everything else. Window person was not too friendly. Highly upset. First time taking grandson here. read more

We always stop here for their excellent burgers and shakes. Then we always wish there any burger place like theirs north of Seattle. There are a few small tables to sit at, but we just come to grab our their food to go. read more

We love the Crows Nest! Happened upon this great family run restaurant on our way home from the coast. The nice people working there told us it had been there for 42+ years! The food was what I remember from my childhood at the best burger places! Burgers hot off the grill with melted cheese topped with ice-cold tomatoes and lettuce on a toasted bun! That great fry sauce for dipping big hot crispy fries in! Yum! And real hand dipped ice cream! Their menu includes baskets, shakes and even breakfast earlier in the day! They also have a kids menu, seafood, hot/cold sandwiches, corn/hot dogs, Deep fried mushrooms, onion rings, big salads (Chef, taco...), assorted Mexican fast-food favorites, Budget Bandit Menu, Shakes/Malts/Floats, Sundaes, Banana Splits... Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, Raspberry, Blackberry, Pineapple, Butterscotch, Root Beer, Hot Fudge Fresh Banana or Peanut Butter - all berry flavors made with high quality sliced berry syrups. The Crows Nest sits less than 500' off Hwy 12/Olympic Hwy in Montesano Washington! You have to stop! read more

I've been mostly pescatarian for the past few years but have realized the need to reincorporate meat back into my diet. My friends took me here since I just moved here and I had yet to visit one of these burger hut places. I must say, I was pretty impressed! The burger was cooked perfectly - juicy, it looked cooked through but it was not well done! I tend to prefer thin cut fries so I was curious to try these meatier ones...I liked them! I'll see when I visit other burger joints but as others have said, it's a bit pricey here. For burger, fries and soda it was about $15pp which overall isn't a bad price but the burger itself was 3/4 of that price! read more

It sure does rain a lot around the Montesano area, but that's fine-just run thru the drive thru at the Crows Nest and pick up a good meal to make you feel better. A large menu for such a small little restaurant that has been around for ever. They have reasonable prices and fast service. I had a burger basket with onion rings and a Mountain Dew. The burger tasted like a burger with fresh garnishes and the onion rings were amazing. A slightly heavier batter but very tasty and the onions were cooked perfectly. The Mountain Dew tasted like full Mountain Dew out of a can and was a win as well. Stopping for a simple burger meal for lunch and getting a full meal with the finer points made for a nice lunch. I hear the hand make their milk shakes too. If your driving by and see the Crows Nest sign, pull in for a burger! read more

Generic, low quality food and way over priced. Usually quite the wait, regardless of what you order. It's pretty old and out dated. Also it is not a "drive-in", it is a slow fast food type restaurant with a drive through. read more

We've been stopping here for approx. 20 years as the midway stretch stop en route to Open Sores. And never dissappointed. After a day of photography in the Matlock area (not named for the TV character), the road from Shelton dumped me out in downtown Brady (the town is the bomb on a sunny Saturday afternoon). So why not go to the Crow's Nest for a snackie poo? I'm in da hood after all. My usual is a milk shake that is so thick that it's Hoquiam;s Hum Dinger before it thins out enough to drink though a straw. However, as I am still minding my New Year's resolution, I "limited" myself to a small fry and diet Pepsi. As always, the fry serving was large and they were freshly cooked, hotter than the barrel on a $2 pistol. I noticed the menu has expanded since my last visit to now include some Mexican items (pretty soon we will need to go out for Anglo food) and Breakfast items. But I digress. Anyhoo, all was great with great service to match. Side bar: Stopping here gets you up to date with the Monte Bulldogs sports season. The ice in the pop is just the right size for post drink crunching read more

Long wait time. High priced mediocre food. Burger was mostly pink inside (not done). Really pushy about selling you extra things. Also many long curly blonde hairs in my burger. Seriously not an exaggeration. I am a local and haven't been in a while. Probably won't go back for a while. read more

Lost half the menu, lowered quality, decreased portions, limited hours of business, and increased prices. What a joke. Only reason they're in business is because they're one of 2 options in a small town. read more

This place is great ! Food is delicious it may take a little more time to get your food but everything is always made fresh! There fries are super tasty and the staff is awesome. My family was driving home from a game and I forgot to pick up food for my son I showed up at the crows nest 2 min before they closed . I know the last thing anyone should do but the insisted on making the food for me! I was super thankful and my son loved it. read more

Good food, kind staff, frustratingly poor value. Cheeseburger deluxe= $7.50ish. Tasted good. Not really worth the price, but tolerable for being a local, veteran-friendly business. Chocolate malt= $4.50ish. Best thing about this place (aside from the kind staff). Thick, extra cold, tasted good! Tater tots= $4.30. They came in only one size. I took a picture once I came home and opened the bag because it was almost comedically empty. I wondered if they had given me a kid sized portion. I felt like I was being punked. I called them and checked, and they only sell tots in one size, and usually it is weighed about 6 ounces. I was so annoyed by the size of the order, that I counted how many tots came in it. 18. Eighteen. That means that I paid $.25 PER tater tot. AS IN, if the dollar store offered you FOUR tater tots for a dollar, you'd think it was a joke. That was really frustrating, it being so expensive just doesn't sit right with me. Based on the value, I probably won't be going there again. I really wish it were (even kinda) worth the money, because it's a nice hometown joint and the food was pretty good:( read more

We ventured back again and The Crow's Nest did not disappoint. Great super friendly service, quick and quality food. Some want more of a 'burger experience.' We want real. This will be regular destination in the Monte. read more

What an unexpected surprise when we popped of Hwy 12 for something to eat. A solid burger joint. Bacon cheese burgers done as well as you would do for yourself. We highly recommend that you give them a try read more

The employees were nice, the food is a little bit spendy, there were ants on the counter so I was hesitant to even keep ordering. After we sat down they saw someone had a puppy outside and the girl working went outside and left a man waiting in the lobby instead of doing her job, the cook also made her way out there for a short second. read more

This place has gone down hill. They served me a raw Burger! And when my friend wanted to get a milkshake they responded "no we are not going to do that" to about every flavor we asked for. We obviously did not give a tip due to the worst food service I have ever had. We caught him saying "those f-ing a**h*les" Very embarrassing for the people they hire there. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE read more

Yummy burgers, crispy fries, excellent barbecue sauce. The lady taking my order was incredibly helpful and patient as I sorted out my dairy-free and gluten-free needs. The cook even offered to warm up the GF bun I'd brought with me. We'll stop here again when passing through. My McDonald's-loving kids were very happy with the food and we adults got to eat something beyond the basics. Staff and customers wore masks and we actually dined in because we had plenty of space around us. read more
