I love this place especially for their French Martinis (they make really good ones). We had the chicken burgers and the mini zapiekanki. I love that this place has little bit of Mexican food mixed with some Polish and American. For me the service is great, because I think when I'm at a bar, I like when I'm not interrupted every 10 min. I also don't mind going to the bar and placing an order if the bartender/server is not around. The place is very cute and well kept, I love all the decorations and it does feel like an upscale bar without the upscale prices. In the summer, the patio is a great addition. read more

Lots of great things going on at the Nest. It feels a little more upscale while still being a sports bar. Great pierogis and surprisingly good pizza too. I'm a huge fan of the loaded tots, cheese curds, and sweet potato fries as well. They have some of the best garlic aioli I've ever had in a bar, or anywhere else for that matter. Every interaction I've had with the staff has been great; they're very warm and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Great neighborhood bar and grill! Service is quick and friendly. Food is tasty! Potato and cheese pierogis are really good, the wings are my fav, the cheese curds are good also. I tried the BLT salad for the first time with grilled chicken and blue cheese. Big salad! So many other food items are tasty here! Mixed drinks are ok here, old fashion was very sweet. Had a margarita before and it was very sweet also. I'd stick with a simple mixed drink like vodka soda or beer or seltzer. Parking is street parking. Sometimes there's good spots sometimes you might have to drive around the block for a while. read more

My first time visiting and the owner was more than gracious to my family gathering in his back party room. We were coming from a family funeral and needed a place to gather and catch up with family as we celebrated someone's life. They were there to open for us and provide exactly what we needed. Donna and Alex did a great job and the kitchen was on point getting out the orders promptly and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend. read more

Stopped in for Monday night football- The staff is truly amazing the service is amazing. We ordered a couple items off the menu and for bar food it was delicious. This is a neighborhood bar but you can really get some great cocktails. The smoky pineapple is delicious and highly recommend. read more

We decided to try out The Nest after seeing all of the high reviews on both Yelp & Google - man, were those deceiving! We were going to walk out after all of the employees we saw walking around did not even attempt to seat or welcome us. Right before we were about to walk out, we found a back room and seated ourselves at a table. We weren't even provided a cocktail menu, which you think would be natural at a place with bar in the name. The food was also incredibly mid. I would be willing to bet that the majority of their menu items are frozen (avoid the waffle fries, they taste EXACTLY like what you would get from the freezer section at Jewel). The music was incredibly loud, and as you walk in you'll hear a combination of genres that are just not it. The vibes are all over the place - from the music being played, to the artwork, to the DJ. By the end of our visit, we were EXCITED to be leaving, but unfortunately, it took so long to receive our check, the excitement turned to WE NEED TO GTFO HERE. At the end of the night, we were all saying that any of the classic fast food places would've been a better choice (and probably fresher!). Welp. Overall, we were super disappointed and won't be coming back. read more

First time I've ordered a pizza for delivery from here and I can proclaim it my new go-to! Have ordered from everyone else in an area from North to Lawrence & Belmont to Thatcher and, although offering a smaller size would better suit me, this was the best thin crust I've found. read more

Food, staff and environment is always excellent. Live to come to this place during the summer to enjoy the breeze while sitting in the patio or near the tall windows. read more

First and foremost, I will like to say thank you to Jay for accommodating us at a very last minute booking. We hosted our mother's 66th birthday party. He was a tremendous help with answering any questions in regards to packages. I must say the food is insanely delicious thank you to the cooks Pedro and Memo for providing the perfect touch. This place is absolutely gorgeous with phenomenal ambiance. Also, the bartender Alex, thank you for being super friendly with great communication and working very efficiently. I truly appreciate your attentiveness, thank you The Best Bar and Eatery. read more

Nest eatery Nice aaa staff is wRm and welcoming. Light crowd for bears for a bears Sunday. Apparently Wednesdays are a bigger day here. They have 3 large tvs and have the sound on during bears games. The staff was very engaging which is nice some places if the bar is dead will check out. She did not. Tried the potato and cheese perogi it's a total polish bar just having perogi. It's a nice change from the chicken wings and burgers. They were tasty and a good GameDay change.. Overall I will stop back by with some friends. Nice place to go and get a spot for a bears game where the whole bar is watching. read more

We went to buy a vehicle at Marino Chrysler, and our sales representative recommended a great place to eat and watch a baseball game. He referred to The Nest. We absolutely loved it. Thank you so much, JC, for the recommendation and The Nest for having a clean, quiet place to enjoy. Recommended. read more

Well, we didn't try any food because we had already eaten and just wanted to stop by to see how the place was for food and drink. I think we had two beers each and we left. Service was great! Ambiance is the reason we went there because they had big open windows, and, beers on tap, so we thought it would be a good place for hanging out, watching the Bears game or sports in general. read more

I was referred to the Nest by a friend who had hosted a Baby Shower at the establishment. Walking in, gave me the The Neighborhood Cheers vibe. Its quaint but cute. The back room, however, was very nice and I was very impressed with the rental space. Its well cared for, meticulous and just a beautiful rustic look. So I booked it for an event. The owner is a stand up guy. Helped me with the menu, gave me ideas and just really helped me make the party a success. His team is amazing. Very helpful and polite. The food was absolutely delicious. The burgers are exceptional. If your looking to book a party, I highly recommend this place. read more

My coworkers and I tried this place out and they were very accommodating, considering COVID. The restaurant owner was personable and welcoming the moment we sat down. The employees were knowledgeable of the menu, of what was really good and what was okay. We got their wings with buffalo sauce, which were pretty good. Their service was on point with the drinks by bringing out what we wanted every time in a timely manner. It's a great place to hang out and enjoy the patio or inside if you would like. Can't wait for my friends and I to go back there very soon. Keep doing a great job! read more

Recently celebrated a birthday party at this lovely location. The owner was very friendly and communicative, the food was great and everyone had an amazing time. I am very thankful to Jay as he made this party very easy and worry free for me. He even brought in a special order of beer I requested. So if you're looking for a very nice venue with great food and awesome service ( of the bar tender was great too!) check this place out, you won't regret it! read more

We ordered chicken quesadilla and they gave us cheese quesadilla, we asked her to change it for the one we ordered. She took it back and when she returned she brought the same one but this time they just threw the chicken on the side. In general the service was bad. Sad because we always come here since our past good experience. read more

Had a small, private party. The food was plentiful and delicious and our server was very attentive and did a great job.

We love stopping here. Wish it was closer. Nice staff, good music and TV as well as fantastic food. You must try the pirogies. They are so good. read more

Great neighborhood bar that has some amazing burgers, it can get pretty busy during the weekend with parties in the back room but we've always seemed to be able to nab a table! read more

This place is okay, but we won't order for dinner again. I placed an order for delivery but after 25 minutes, the expected time suddenly jumped an additional 30 minutes for delivery. Not a big deal, but still a bit inconvenient. Food arrived and I immediately grabbed a crab cake ball, and oh my god was that thing good. I immediately forgave them for the delivery, and expected a great meal. But then it went downhill. The potato and cheese pierogi lacks flavor. It doesn't help that the onions served with it were super burnt. So when I grabbed a few to help add some flavor, I was less than pleased. I've had many pierogis both from restaurants and home made, these were some of the blandest. I found myself craving something sweet to dip them in, which is very unlike me. The steak quesadilla was also flavorless. The steak was clearly not seasoned before being added. There are some onions in it which help break up the bland cheese and steak flavor, but it desperately needs some acid. Normally there would be salsa to dip a quesadilla in but they serve a massive quesadilla with less than a table spoon of pico de gallo that gets tossed through the container during delivery. However, they do give an entire condiment container of sour cream, to add to the blandness I guess. Crab cake bites are a 10/10 Everything else 4/10 Apparently their drinks are good though. So maybe we'll stop in for some crab cake bites and a cocktail. read more

I just found my new " Cheers" bar (For those that don't know what cheers means , it's where everybody knows your name). I had the pleasure in enjoying the blacken chicken salad with a tall glass of beer. Yes, I am that girl that pairs her salad with a beer. It's a beautiful communion , don't knock it. The wood modern country decor created a cozy feeling. Forcing me to prolong my stay. Longer stay, equals more beer. (I am on to you guys). Not only was the food good. Jen, our host was amazing, she was funny, she was genuinely attentive. Her goal was to ensure that we had good time. She was not invasive. She made the experience worthwhile. Thanks Jen!! (I am sure Frank would be proud) . I definitely would recommend "The Nest"... good food, great crowd awesome service!. read more

Great night out here tonight! Friendly staff, quick service and delicious food!! Great atmosphere! The menu has a great variety, I had a hard time deciding what to order it all looked so good!

First time coming to this newly remodeled bar restaurant in the neighborhood. Nice little spot and they also have an additional room that can be used for small parties or group events. The waitress says that their wings are pretty popular and I did see a few tables with them but I was really craving a burger today so I went against her suggestion but I can come back and try them out. I ordered the bacon, fried egg and cheese burger with some freshly cut fries and it was really good. Very meaty, juicy and tasty burger. This was a Sunday so they had our Chicago Bears playing on all the TV's with a good surround sound system. Bears beat the Packers and won the Division so this maybe a lucky spot? The staff was really nice and friendly and place was really clean. The waitress mentioned that they have special too, so may have to check them out again. Not sure if they have parking but there is plenty of free street parking around. Go Bears! read more

OMG the food was amazing Fire In nest pizza, appetizers where great potato perogis and wings I'm coming back over and over

COMFY, CORNER NEIGHBORHOOD PUB Love this place for the look, the large windows and the best bartenders. It's small but in warm months, the tables outside are open. Plus the large rectangular windows lend spaciousness. The pizza sports a flavorful sauce underneath a lacy cheese coverage (my fave). The sandwiches a solid choice and the apps are tasty. They have decent drink specials, some pretty good. They employ an amazing array of staff. I particularly clicked with the guy bartenders and the cool chick in her late 30s/early 40s. I'm so hoping they all return when this pandemic is over. read more

Awesome pierogis (properly fried and dressed up with onions and bacon and sour cream....so many on a plate I could barely finish), nice bartenders, cool selection of bottles and cans...great food values! Totally will return here to try the mini burgers everyone is scarfing down around me (they're quite generous in size for the "mini" moniker). Cute interior. Really great place to hit up on an off-peak weeknight for dinner at the bar! Owner even came over to check on me, ask if I'd been before, and ensure that I had enjoyed my meal. Such a friendly vibe in here! read more

Nora is awesome. Very attentive and always gives service with a smile. Have not seen her in a few weeks though :(

I've been to the Nest several times since they opened last year, and it's a great addition to the neighborhood. They have a good beer selection and daily food & drink specials. I've had the wings and pierogis and they were very good! The bartenders have always been friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a great place to hang out, grab a drink, and get a bite to eat. Another nice thing about the Nest is that there's a private party room. I reserved it this past weekend for my mom's 60th birthday and I'm glad I did. Thanks to the owner (Jay), manager (Natalia) and the rest of the staff, the party was a complete success. Everyone loved the appetizers and entrees that I ordered. I was able to connect to the sound system and play my own music. We also had our own private bar, and Natalia did a great job bartending for us and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire party. If you're thinking of having any kind of party, I would definitely recommend having it at the Nest. read more

The service was horrible and not family friendly. The environment was unfriendly and dark. I would not recommend this place as it felt like we were outsiders! Save your money or choose to spend your money at a place more deserving! read more
