    I wa not impressed. The atmosphere was so cold and depressing. The walls and baseboards were dirty the seats are hard and outdated and the food wasn’t anything to get excited about. Much better options out there if you are looking for a good meal.

    We have been going to Hawks Nest since before we moved to Michigan (2018.) Love the new owners, love the servers and the food is great and affordable. I have recently switched my eating habits to "carnivore" from "keto" due to severe inflammation so I had to switch up what I normally order. I had a "Hawks Nest Smashburger," no bun because I decided to cheat and fries (and veggie toppings) would be my cheat for the week. It DID NOT disappoint! It was smashed super thin (the way I like it,) full of flavor and the caramelized onions were like candy. Oh and it never disappoints when the vivacious Jo is our server! We go because of Jo but now I am craving that smash burger again! See you next week!

    Very sweet little "off the beaten path" restaurant. Prices were great, staff was attentive and friendly, food was very good. They were kind enough to be open on New Year's Day, so bonus points for that.

    HAWKS NEST IS GREAT! This was my first time here. I was treated like family, served LARGE portions, and it all came out quickly. Thank you for a great experience!

    I am completely mortified. My daughter and I ate there tonight and I am so grossed out. The restaurant wasn't that bad the seating it wasn't that bad the seats are kind of hard very uncomfortable actually. And the service was okay but the food was so disgusting my daughter ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich it came on a hard sub bread and then also the meat for the chicken was grilled and it was like the freeway I don't believe and it was cold– with hot sauce. She couldn't even eat it. We must have had a misunderstanding that she would not eat that it was cold and something she wouldn't eat she did nothing about it which is fine it's okay we ordered it I'll pay for it then she ordered chicken nuggets or chicken tenders that were cold then I have a shrimp basket that was like cold and the shrimp were so small it was something like bait shrimp. Then I had pie the pie was okay but it was way too had too much cinnamon in it way too much cinnamon the ice cream because they have ice cream there and the ice cream was horrible. So I drive almost like 35 minutes and the bill was over 50 dollars. The waiter could tell we were unsatisfied with our meal and didn't even try to make it right. To put icing on the cake the elderly man that was sitting right beside us blew a whole lot of snot into a napkin that literally made me want to crawl underneath the table and run out of there on my hands and knees trying to not get sick to my stomach. Since then which was about to say 2 or 3 hours ago my daughter and I myself have been stuck in the bathroom so I did not recommend this place. I'm usually not one to make a bad review I know you have no controller who blows your nose in your restaurant but how to do better.. Thanks
