The Nest

ATTENTION GLUTEN ALLERGIES! The stars reflect a celiac response, not the food or service. If you aren't sensitive to gluten, you should definitely eat here, because the food is delicious and the service is friendly. It's a wonderful local spot.The first time we went to The Nest, it was great for me -- the server also has celiac, and clearly looked out for me -- I did not get sick. I had the Big Bacon omelet, and my husband had the Gyro -- both enormous servings and delicious. My husband and I were so excited, because we've only been able to find a handful of restaurants that actually take food allergies seriously.The second time, when I told our server I have a severe gluten allergy (because most people genuinely do not know what celiac is . . .), she nonchalantly said "ok." I ordered the Cheesy Cheese; my husband had the Breakfast Burrito. While both were delicious (my husband couldn't finish his and said it was one of the best Breakfast Burritos he's eaten!), I barely made it to the BP gas station down the road before I got sick, and I was sick for 6 days! 6 days means DIRECT contamination -- either someone put toast on my plate and then took it off, or some other form of a direct hit with wheat/rye/barley (which could be soy sauce; "food" starch," etc.)It's so frustrating. I really try to do my best and order things that should be simple -- no sauces; no dressings -- if the kitchen and server take it seriously. It isn't a dietary choice -- believe me, my life would be much easier (and much more pleasant), if I did not have this disease.Sadly, we can't go back.

We were driving through the area on Sunday around noon and found The Nest for a quick breakfast. There was a short wait but the staff was warm and welcoming. The inside was very clean and it has a diner feel but nothing feels outdated. There were lots of great options on the menu and we enjoyed the breakfast burger and breakfast sandwich. The coffee was good and they were very conscientious about refilling and keeping our cup warmed up. The prices were incredibly reasonable. I'm sure we'll look for opportunities to stop there again. Kinda wish I lived closer to this gem, it would be a great regular breakfast spot.

The service was excellent. I had a chicken bacon ranch salad and it was excellent. The atmosphere is nice as well. Very reasonable prices

The Nest! What a cute diner located in Vermilion. This unassuming spot has friendly service and satisfying, fast diner food. When a good diner is good, it's GOOD. Plan accordingly, because The Nest clearly has a popular local following and gets busy quickly. Upon walking in, I immediately felt like this was a hometown spot I had been frequenting for years. The inside atmosphere was warm and homey with plenty of seating. The hostess promptly seated us and it felt like we had our food even faster. Not many places exist anymore where you feel like you can have a cup of coffee, relax, and slow down a bit. The Nest reminds me of a spot I would have frequented with my Grandpa as a kid if I lived in the area.The food is typical greasy spoon diner fare and I mean that in the most loving way possible. When I visited, a number of dessert pancakes were on special like reese cups and fudge brownie. I ordered The Sailors Anchor omelette, which is essentially a veggie and meat omelette with sausage gravy on top. I was hesitant about ordering it but did at the advice of my server - and it was delicious! Super hearty and satisfying. We'll be back!

Honestly the best restaurant in VTown for great food and exceptional service. Breakfast,Luch/Dinner menu is plentiful and everything is budget friendly without sacrificing anything. This place is the spot if you're hungry.

While on vacation, we were in the mood for a no frills, diner type breakfast and The Nest fit the bill perfectly! The space was clean and the service was friendly. And we left with very full bellies! I would not hesitate to return if I'm ever in the area.

Nice local feel to this place and with locals actually present! Delicious spinach and feta omelette with potatoes and rye toast. Plenty of coffee gets served! Employees all friendly and check back to see how all is going. Nice place. I would return if in the area.

Wonderful breakfast spot that has plenty of space. We had a party of 9 and it worked perfectly. Superb friendly service! Thanks Skyler

Solid breakfast/lunch place. Great service, friendly. Big menu and they get it all right. Comfortable and clean. A local institution and they continue to earn the business.

great food and service the servers were nice and they worked fast. I've never had such a good breakfast burrito. the ambiance was like a 1990's diner.
