Crow’s Nest

What a great place to host a 40^th birthday party! Amy, Eric, and Karen did a fabulous job — especially on the hottest day of the year! They allowed us to come inside for awhile so the deck would cool off a bit. The appetizers we ordered were wonderful! Thank you, Crow’s Nest! We will be back soon

ordered delivery. the fried green tomatoes are incredible. mac & cheese was rich & cheesy, but bland. some people like it that way, but i prefer my mac with seasoning. the rest was fine, but unremarkable. overall good experience

I’d recommend the taco salad and the country friend chicken or the burgers. My buddies got the chicken tenders and thought they were shïte.

I have been there a few times. The last time was fairly typical so I will base the review on that. The food is good but not great. Good for what it is I suppose. I was by myself and was fairly hungry. I was there for lunch but was hungry since I skipped breakfast.
For an appetizer I had the fried pickles. They are always a standby for me but these got to me and were a little soggy and too spicy for my taste.
For my lunch entrée, I had the catfish. It was not bad but not super either. All in all a decent lunch. I will definitely be back and would tell others to go. It is not going to with a James Beard award, but that is ok. I still like it. At least the service was good and they kept my iced tea full.

What a great experience I had here the other night Amy the asst. manager took great care of our party and was giving suggestions on all the awesome food that we had which included Pizza Rolls, Chicken Wings, Cheeseburgers and more next time your in Green Hills stop by and see her she takes great care of all her customers

Great sports bar. Lots of TVs for all the games. They usually label which game is on which TV. The burgers, chicken fingers and nachos are excellent. The servers and bar staff are friendly and service is always excellent. They have a lot of different revolving beers both upstairs and downstairs, but I wish there were more that I liked. I’ve been for trivia night upstairs as well which was fun, not too crowded. And they close at midnight Friday evening/​Saturday morning, which I find kind of early. But for a bar in family-​friendly Green Hills, it’s a great choice.

For the past couple of months, I have been coming here 2−4x a week for lunch or early dinner and have been completely amazed. There food is absolutely phenomenal and so so so much better than one would expect from a «Sports Bar”/“Americana Restaurant».
We have had nearly everything on the menu and it is all spectacular and honestly can’t think of a single complaint or being once even slightly unsatisfied. Prices are great and service has been very quick and friendly as well (note that while we’ve been there ~25 times, we’ve never been there after 6pm).
This is definitely my default go to place if it’s midday and I’m in Green Hills.

Service was horrendous. Waited at the main bar for over 10 minutes, no one there. Then went upstairs and the music was so loud (early evening), we had to go eat outside. Waiter was almost invisible; when I complained, he said he had to do some cleaning up (really? don’t they have busboys for that?), but he then became more visible. Food was passable, typical bar stuff, nothing special.

We had to visit Crows Nest twice in the past 5 days due to a storm taking out our Comcast line. We don’t want to even begin reviewing Comcast here!
Last Thursday we arrived for the Steelers/​New England game and had no sooner ordered our food, when their Direct TV/​HD went out! No fault of theirs, it was a Direct TV issue. The manager went around to every table to apologize for the inconvenience. . About 20 min later when it still had not come back on, he began switching all the TV’s to the non –HD station in order to see the game. About ½ through doing this the HD feed resumed! Cudos to the manager for making every attempt to making sure the customers got what they came for!
We returned Saturday evening to watch our SEC team play. All the TV’s were on the «state» game and the place was full. The crew and manager made a serious attempt to find a TV that they could change to our desired game. It took a few minute’s but they were quite accommodating! This has become our go to local Sports Bar… The bar food is good. But the red snapper sandwich is outstanding, next time I will ask if they could put it on a salad for me! The healthy choices are limited, but what would you expect! We had chips with salsa and guacamole –good and they replenished the chips as needed!
Way to go management of Crows Nest. Service makes the difference, we will be back!

It was decent food. The waiter seemed COMPLETELY disinterested in serving us. After ordering, we also asked for an appetizer. Never got it. 2 of the people I was with didn’t get the blackened chicken on their dish. The food expediter didn’t care. The waiter came to check on us after signaling him 2 times to get the order right. He said oh sorry. Then went back to get the chicken. Claimed it was his fault for the lack of appetizer. But he still clearly didn’t care. Came back a third time for drink refills and last time to bring the check.
The worst part was when they turned the volume up to 11 for the saints cards game for a group of saints fans on another part of the restaurant. So conversation wasn’t an option. Oh and the saints sucked and we heard ALL about it. And every commercial the volume turned up to 13.
Will NEVER be retuning to this mediocre sports bar.

Food was ok but nothing special. Fries were the frozen crinkle cut like you can get at wall– Mart.
S sandwich was good but i have had better.
Beer selection was average.

Sirloin average, baked potato cold, cheese not melted on tuna sandwich, panini good, mac and cheese ok.
Gave us desert for cold baked potato.
Would not go in the early pm.

We enjoyed our lunch at the Crows Nest. We started off with the fried green tomatoes. They were okay. I had the Cali club which was delicious. The jalapeño bread it was on was an added bonus. He had the catfish po’boy with a cup of gumbo. Both were great. He wished he had ordered a bowl instead of just a cup.
The service was very good as well. It’s a seat yourself place.

A decent sports bar with plenty of TVs. The food is better than most of the chains (Buffalo Wild Wings, Champps, Tilted Kilt, etc). The hostess refused to seat us in a booth near the TV we wanted to watch, because she was saving it for a bigger table than 4 people. I found this to be a little annoying, since the place was almost completely empty. The prices seemed much higher than the average around town.

I have been to Crow’s Nest a few times and I’ve never been particularly overwhelmed, or underwhelmed. My most recent visit last night was the same.
I arrived at about 5:00 PM and took the last parking spot in the back of the restaurant. I was meeting a colleague for dinner, and I was wondering where someone parks when this very limited parking is full. I was there first so I decided to order a drink from the bar. The only place to sit was right next to three Crow’s Nest Employees who had spread a bunch of paperwork out on the bar. I asked them if I could sit there and they apologized and moved their stuff out of the way.
Next, I asked the bartender what the specials were. I can appreciate a bartender who isn’t super formal or professional at a sports bar like this, but this guy was incredibly unprofessional. When I asked him the specials, it seemed like he was annoyed that I didn’t already know what their specials were. As a matter of fact, he seemed a little annoyed that I wasn’t a regular and was sitting at «his» bar. I ordered a beer and decided that I felt uncomfortable enough to go ahead and take my seat at a table. As I was waiting to close out from the bar, a regular who wreaked of cigarette smoke came stood to me and grabbed his drink. Apparently it was an Apple Crown Royal drink and he was going around the whole bar offering people sips. Even the employees were taking sips of this guy’s drink. It was a little weird and disgusting.
Anyways, once I left the downstairs bar, my experience was great. I sat upstairs at a high-​top table and the waitress took great care of us. I had the Chicken Tortilla soup, which was fantastic, and tried the Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo, which was recommended by the waitress. I don’t usually order pasta in a sports bar, but I can say that it was really good. The waitress suggested that next time I try it with Broccoli.
Overall, I gave a 3-​star rating. If it weren’t for such a bad experience with the bar, I would have given 4-​stars. I would recommend this restaurant, but unless you are a regular, I would avoid the downstairs bar.

Funny I live so close to this place and have never been to eat dinner. I’ve always thought of this place as a typical sports bar, but they’ve really started getting a dinner crowd which appeals to families like ours. I was expecting typical bar fare (aka Sysco special) but they really have an extensive menu besides fried baskets.
For starters, they bread their own chicken fingers, which were thinly cut breasts, I believe. Pretty good! Believe or not, the kids hot dog was the bomb! I ended up polishing off my 4 year olds dog. They cook it on the grill top and it tasted all beef. Toasted bun and all. YUM!
They have a variety of salads with spinach and other greens. I was expecting iceberg, but was pleasantly surprised with my seared ahi tuna salad with crunchy wasabi peas and Asian dressing. My husband loved his cobb salad. They do offer small and entrée portions on salads, which is nice.
Sadly they were out of the cheese bites. They sounded so good!
Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating with our kids. They have kids menus and crayons. I am glad to add this to our quick, kid friendly dinner rotation. Will be back!

Good place to catch a game, grab a beer with friends and just to hang out.
We went late on a Friday so food was not on our minds, but a couple of decent drinks were, and the bartender did a good job getting those to us quickly and with the requested water on the first ask!
We sat upstairs which is where the name comes from as it is more of a loft that circles the open center looking down at the bar below.
Is it fancy? Nope. Pretentious? Nah. Friendly? You bet! Just the kind of place you’d want to sit and grab a beer at.
Plenty of free parking is also an added bonus.

The food was not so great, below your average bar food. We ordered gumbo, which was obviously not their specialty. The fries tasted like the kind from the freezer food aisle and stick in your oven. We asked for medium well hamburger and it came out pretty pink. The service was incredibly slow for a saturday afternoon. The outdoor patio seating area has heaters but management won’t turn it on unless it gets below a certain temperature outside.
An overall disappointment. I won’t be going back.

I have been to the Crow’s Nest a couple times since coming to Nashville and think it’s a pretty decent place to watch a game. The first time I went, I met up with some family friends (Cleveland Browns fans) to watch a game against the Packers (my team). I wasn’t aware that this bar is a Cleveland Browns bar (weird) so there were a crap load of them and me. And one other guy with a Packers shirt on. I like the overall setup of the bar, with the two levels. Although it can get pretty crowded. The second time I went, my brother and I went to watch an Alabama game. This was a pretty good experience and didn’t really have any issues.
They have a pretty decent beer selection (as long as you’re not a craft beer snob) and also a fairly large food selection. The prices are a little bit high, considering what you’re getting though. My brother and I tried the fried pickle chips which were decent. We make it a point to try and find the best fried pickles so we try them everywhere we go (if they have them, of course). These were mostly average, but had some pretty good seasoning.
I’ve only had the burgers here so I can’t really testify to the quality of anything else. The South of the Border Burger has some really good spice behind it (I’m a spice wimp though, so it probably isn’t that spicy to the average person) and I liked the coolness of the avocado to balance it out. I’ve also tried the Mushroom and Swiss Burger which, again, was fairly decent. Sweet potato fries both times (of course) which were perfect the first time but the second time had an overabundance of salt on them, almost to the point of being inedible. But it could’ve just been an off day since the first time they were pretty damn good. My brother went with me once and he had the Nest Burger, which he seemed to really enjoy.
Overall, the Crow’s Nest is a pretty decent bar but in a terribly placed area. There is valet parking, however there are probably only 20 spots available. I park down the street in a strip mall parking lot and walk the one block it takes to get there. Beware! Do NOT park in the Kroger parking garage because you WILL be towed if you’re not at Kroger! I’ve seen a security guy outside patrolling both times I’ve been here, so you’ve been forewarned. I would definitely come here again, though, because the environment is decent and the staff is always super friendly.

Great place to hang out with friends!
I like the atmosphere! It is a great place to kick back with a great beer and great food. You can get everything from a burger to snack foods to great entrees. We started with the southwest egg roll and fried pickles. The appetizers were a great start. Smothered Chicken covered in cheese and mushrooms with mashed potatoes was great as my entrée choice. They have a large variety of beer that you are sure to find one that suits your taste.
The service was great and it was cool enough to open the front roll up door which opened up the whole downstairs level. There is outside seating downstairs and on the balcony upstairs. I can’t wait to hang out here more in the future.
