Owls Nest

Finally made it into the Owls Nest after years of visiting my parents in Panora! A divey bar and grill that serves the Mainstreet and is the main bar in the area.We popped in early evening on a Friday, and there were only a few folks in. We opted for bar seating, though there were two large rooms of space.We were just here for a pre-dinner drink. They don't have happy hour, but they DO have $2 Busch Lights at all times - that's a deal! Service was friendly and welcoming. We didn't eat here, but food being brought out to other tables looked like pretty standard bar and grill / fryer food.Will definitely recommend this to others looking for a casual bar in the area!

Tried again after 3 years and found it a nice option to meal in Panora. The service was great! Manager very friendly! Very good Tenderloin and homemade onion rings. We will be back

Owls Nest is a traditional stop when we go to the Lake. My favorite is the Pork Tenderloin sandwich

Good food. Service was a bit slow but we came at an off time where I'm sure it was a shift change. Even though it's a bar, they were very accommodating to our 4 kids and even had a kids menu.

Cute place, decorated for Halloween. Great service and food was good. Nice big tvs is you want to watch a game. Very clean and comfy. Fun discovery!

A Saturday lunch: hubby's grilled ribeye sandwich was perfectly cooked and delicious. Daughter's burger was good, as were the fries. The tenderloin is good as well. The homemade fries and dip were a way to great start up the meal. I had an order of boneless wings. It was a small portion with mainly thick breading.Waitress was attentive and efficient. The food server had to ask which food went where and leaned over the table. It arrived plate by plate over 7/8 minutes. A nice place to stop for a drink or bite to eat! We'll be back!

Nice Sports Bar. Good Bar Food.. Great Service.Friendly and Fun. Perfect for a Saturday afternoon Lunch Stop..

Was there Feb. 10, 2024 we were a large party that made a reservation well in advance the restaurant even called us to confirm. When we arrived they were not prepared for us. We had to arrange tables and chairs in the room that was reserved for us. The waitress (bartender) came after a few minutes to take our drink orders. She couldn't tell us what beer was available, a few went to the bar to look, then she brought back incorrect beers. Then took our orders, then we waited and waited and waited. Finally after about 45 minutes food started to arrive. Many of us ordered the same things, burgers, tenderloins nothing fancy all on the menu. Some burgers were huge and thick, others were flat and burnt on the outside and not pink but raw inside. When they were bringing the food out they informed three of us who ordered tenderloins that they ran out! Wish we would have known that sooner so we could have reordered and got served somewhat with the rest. One ordered a grilled chicken sandwich to replace the tenderloin it came out within five minutes. Barely cooked, they did not finish eating it.Rough experience all around

Very good food. Fast services. Big portions. Very nice staff. Will go back for sure.

Horrible service. Waited over an hour and a half and still no food. When asked about our food was given an attitude and said "we are shirt staffed I can't do anything about it. But a family came in after us got their food and was eating . Will not be back and will let friends and family know about our experience.
