I rarely give 5s because I think this is a special rating. Robin's Nest is a tiny, dive with great food, great prices, lots of old timer regulars. Love the place and gladly go back as often as possible. Very basic, good coffee, no alcohol.

I got the biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and bacon. Phenomenol. I asked for an ice coffee and it had whipped cream and Hershey syrup. Wow. Great service and friendly wait staff as well. Inwill be back!

I stumbled upon this place as I was in the area. Very quite, simple and cozy place. The ambience feels like you are home with family. I for once felt like I am eating at home where someone is serving you delicious hot food and do care if the food does taste good. Yes I agree there are lot of old people here so the food prepared is very simple, very healthy portions and less salt. I admired the way others were enjoying there food and none of the staff was trying to rush them to finish there food, empty the table and leave. A real surprise for me happened when. I received my omelette and it was so good and delicious that I actually put my phone down and started to focus on food more. Will definitely visit the place because chain restaurants are missing this personal touch.

It's been awhile since a restaurant wowed me. Its been awhile since I've wanted to go right back to anywhere. It's been a really long time since I've made a huge effort to write a review. This place is everything a good old fashioned diner is meant to be. I just recommend you try it. Wear your cozy clothes and loosen your belt loop. You'll absolutely love it.
