I've eaten here a few times and have not been disappointed. Burger is great. Pasta is good. Crab cakes are very good. Drinks are good but expensive.

Great looking place. Great place to go for a power lunch meeting. The food is good, I have tried the wraps and the salmon nicoise. Both were really good. I have only been there for lunch but I am sure dinner is just as good. I was really impressed with the decor, I guess it has to do with the fact that it is connected with the Country Club. You don't have to be a member to enjoy this place.

I typically don't opt to eat at Golf Course Restaurants but I received a free Restaurant.com voucher and decided on this place after looking at their menu. I wanted a place nearby and wanted to try some place new so this was just a random shot in the dark for me. There is parking on both sides of the building...if you park on the side we parked on you pretty much walk INTO a wedding going on as we did to get to the elevator to take you to The Nest which is on the lower level. If you park at the other end, odds are you won't walk through any weddings. Our server's eyes lit up with everything we ordered so we must have done well on our selections. The service was great too. For an appetizer we got the pretzel sticks which came with a beer cheese dipping sauce. My friend and I both got burgers for dinner, and for dessert we got the ever-so-fabulous fried banana cheesecake... OMG it was soooooo damn good! We also sat outside - the scenery of the golf course made for a very nice dinner out there. I'd definitely opt to go back, because everything was great here!

I have been coming here for yeeaarrsss. I love how convenient it is to my house even my kid loves this place. But after the years and the high turnover with management, this place is declining. The service is horrible. They have no sense of urgency, and they forget about you throughout the time you are there. It breaks my heart when my 73 year old father just needs water!! We have stopped coming here because of the service. We love the food, but the service is enough for us to give it 10 thumbs down.

Went last Friday evening for the Fish Fry and it was a major disappointment. Ended up eating at the bar, which was fine but the service was not-so-good. The bartender was a nice kid, but slow in taking the orders, left dirty glasses and dishes from the folks next to us on the bar for way too long and generally inattentive. Like I said, friendly kid, but not a good bartender. The Fish Fry was awful... it comes with homemade chips (fries are extra) and they were cold, greasy and stale - like they'd been sitting too long. The fish was bad too, it is a nice cut but the breading was too thick and under cooked, giving it a gloppy texture near the actual fish, awful... Sent it back and got another dose of the same. This is a nice place and I've had good burgers/sandwiches here before, and reading some of the other comments - I'd stick to the basics here until they can figure it out.

We tried this place with a restaurant.com certificate, and I'd go with about 2.5 stars here. Main drawback was that some of our food was not very good. Wife had the Laredo steak, and it tasted on stale side, and we almost returned it, but did not bother. The calamari was bland and not fresh either. I had a swiss cheeseburger and it was good. I also had a Lagunitas IPA for $4.37 - a good value. They have a decent draft beer list. So I would return for a beer and burger, and that would be about it. The $8 fried banana cheesecake was a nice finish. They had a late dinner rush at about 7:30pm and it got crowded, so it looks like it can be a popular place. The restaurant is located at rear of the Bolingbrook Golf Club clubhouse and faces the golf course.

Another excellent experience!! I tried their Black and Bleu burger which was to die for!! It was probably the best burger I've ever eaten!? The meat was flavorful all the way through, very good angus beef!! I've been here a million times but never had a burger!!? Awesome!! I would definitely recommend this hidden gem of a restaurant! Downstairs from the Boingbrook Gold Club, a little bar and grill where you can find maybe 20 tv's?? A guys true dream place! Every place you turn theres a game!! If you still have room for dessert you gotta try the fried banana cheesecake- out of this world!!

Very disappointed. Came for the special Lent Friday Fish Fry but the food was awful. Salad greens were old and dry as if it was pre-made days earlier. The fish was soggy, greasy, and the fryer fat was obviously old. I couldn't eat it and sent it back after only eating 1/2 piece. The waitress was very nice but I still had to pay full price for food I didn't eat. My guess is the fish, (jokingly called "catch of the day") is not only frozen, but had been allowed to thaw, went unneeded, and was re-frozen before finally being dropped in the fryer. You would be better off getting the filet o'fish sandwich at Micky-D's.

The place was really very good and have zero complaints. I had a Groupon and presented it to the waitress before service. She paid full attention to us and the food was as great as it gets at a golf course. The place has 24 beers on tap and some enticing specials. I may go there just to eat without the golf

The Nest is tucked away at Bolingbrook Golf Club and I've been several times. The menu has lots to choose from and everything I've had - wings, ribs, etc., have been really tasty, fresh and hot. There are tons of beers on tap (Blue Moon, 312, PBR, Sam Adams, Guinness, and lots more) and they have an assortment of liquors - probably everything you'd ever want. The bartenders here are amazing! Friendly and very hard workers. Two thumbs up! We went in 2009 for the 4th of July and it was awesome! Fantastic food choices, bars set up outdoors, activities, even Uncle Sam made an appearance! Some of the locals or regulars even bought us a round before - so that was nice. Karaoke Fridays will blow your mind. Wallace is great and a fun entertainer. This has to be the best free entertainment around. Just the people watching and the music is enough to get me there again! Plus they offer a menu of appetizers for $5 during karaoke. You can't beat that.

A complete disappointment of The Nest bar and grill! A group of 14 reserved a table in advance, but well, they put us to a big rectangular table but also link with another big round table, since I guess our group is too big..sounds weird right? Anyway, the waitress then put us to the better table but sorry I think it's exactly the same style of dining table, so why wasting time by doing that? It took us around 30 mintues for waiting. Okay, service was very slow and actually the restaurant wasn't even filled up half, I don't get why take so long to have our server to order or food, alright, drink list is very limited, I had their special pumpkin spice latte martini, well, not so bad but not so good, but only 6 bucks, can't complain too much. Appetizers we had calamari, coconut shrimp and fried chicken wings, honestly its really standard quality. After about another half an hour of wait then our entrees come, another a big disappointment, I had lemon rosemary chicken, but sorry I don't taste any rosemary at all but only butter and garlic, chicken was overcooked and very dry, not juicy at all.Not so tasteful!, I barely can finished half of it. Location is really make me feel like I was going middle of no where, maybe that's a golf club,so I don't blame it. They can get back some points just by their decor, it's very nice and warm, beside of that, I'm pretty sure I won't go back again. Luckily we had 100 dollars off coupon, if not, that's a big waste!

A couple of miles before we arrived we drove through an open area of dark mystifying land wondering if we would discover the nest. It was dark and all was still, the cold wind whistled in the night. I heard a howl, no it was Beyonce dancing in the wilderness. We arrived to the country club I saw the banquet room and drove pass to settle in the nest. There were many cars at the country club however the scene was not as resilient in the nest. We discovered a group of high school pubescent teens celebrating a homecoming dance. Soon all the Shawn Johnson wannabe's left their nest and we got our table. We are a large group of 15 celebrating at the long table. No it was not a homecoming dance I know what your thinking ha ha. So our waitress came to take our order everyone placed their order. Then it was time for me to place my order. I asked "do you have a beer list of draft beers preferably import". She replied "no but we harp on draft". I asked if anything else was on tap maybe from Belgium or Germany. Then rolling off of her stupid lips she said "well why don't you just walk around the bar and see what we have on tap there all around the bar". I was shocked that she just told me to walk around the bar and look at all the taps. I told her to bring me an Arnold Palmer. When she came back I told her to take that Arnold Palmer back I wanted to order a beer. Then some how a beer list magically appeared and she brought it over. This lazy waitress just didn't want to walk over to get the beer list when I asked the first time and tried to saddle me with harp. No matter how good the food could be the service nested this review with 1 star. It's too bad for the nest that the food was poor as well. Calamari was weak the coconut shrimp was lame and the chicken wings were bland. The rib eye steak was a bit over done the broccoli was rubberized. Next time I go to homecoming its not going to be here. lol

Reasonably priced drinks doesn't make up for inattentive bartenders and MIA wait staff. But yay for karaoke on Fridays.

We love this place, great steaks, awesome sides. The atmosphere is 2nd to none. And you must come back to this place on the 4th of July, they have one of the largest fireworks displays in Illinois. The build your own burger is great. It is in a bar environment, we dont drink, but enjoy it to the maximum. Best kept secret in the area, but dont tell anyone else. LOL. Enjoy this place without the kids. Breakfast has a small but nice menu.

This place has a very good burger, one of the biggest and best in the area. It's basically upscale, casual dining. The menu is a bit of a paradox though, as you've got your potato skins, calimari, chicken fingers, a burger, a handfull of sandwiches and pastas, then most of the dinner entrees are up in the low-mid 20's. We've had ribs, which were OK, and on St. Pat's we've had the Corned Beef, which was OK. I'll go here again and again for a burger, but I do think the menu could use a little updating with more casual and less fancy items....it's the basement bar of a golf club after all.
