Oh my. Awesome food. I had fried chicken, green beans, and German fries. Some of the best fried chicken I've had in a long time.

Have only been in the Hornet's Nest when I was a very young. But it had very good food. I went with my Aunt and my cousins for Sat. night dinner. I had their Ten piece shrimp dinner with fries and broccoli. So good shrimp was like like i expected breading flavorful fries were very good. They have everything steaks, seafood, chicken, sandwiches. Very busy. Nice resteraunt outside of the city limits.Vegetarian options: I think they have vegetarian options

My family took me to dinner tonight for an early Mother’s Day dinner at the Hornet’s Nest. We arrived at 6:20 pm for our 6:30 reservation. After about 30 minutes we finally got our drink orders. No one took our dinner orders until at least 7:30 and our dinner finally arrived at our table about 8:30 although not complete nor correct. We did not get to pay our bill and leave until after 9 pm. I don’t know when I have ever had slower service than tonight! To top it all off, the food was mediocre at best. My chicken was over cooked and my sides were cold. I have been going to “the nest” for over 60 years and tonight was a huge disappointment!

We just left. Not only did they NOT get my order right, we didn’t get all of the food ordered. They gave us a “discount” for the inconvenience- but it honestly just covered the food we either didn’t get or that came out at the same time as the meal. Appetizer came out with the meal, salad didn’t come until I asked for it, and we were told “they are working on the rice” which we never even got. I paid $53 for 2 people for lunch WITH a “discount” and didn’t get our food and am leaving my lunch still hungry. I had a bland piece of chicken and exactly 4 asparagus. I’m beyond mad and we will NEVER go back. The right thing to do would have been to comp the meal but they didn’t do that and here I am- post lunch and STARVING.

Always good at the Nest. However, the patio is right by the street and intersection and very noisy. If you want it quieter, go inside.

This was our first visit and it was a nice surprise. Lots of home style cooking. I had the fried chicken and it was above average.
