The menu is approachable and familiar, yet it's interesting enough to hold the attention of someone tired of rote bar-and-grill food.

7336 Manchester Road MaplewoodThe Crow's Nest feels like a well-worn sweater - comfortable and warm. Slide into a wooden booth; order up a craft beer; and while you wait for your food, drop some quarters in one of the pinball machines to pass the time.
The menu is approachable and familiar, yet it's interesting enough to hold the attention of someone tired of rote bar-and-grill food. Here the chicken sandwich is piled with smoked chicken breast, bacon and kale and given a good dose of lemon-brown butter aïoli. Peanut butter is added to hummus, which is honey-sweetened and seasoned with cumin, roasted garlic and cilantro. Soul-satisfying meatloaf has a cherry-green peppercorn crust and is served with bacon ketchup, herbed corn bread and fresh greens with buttermilk dressing.
For dessert try the coffee-dusted beignets with cola-poached cherries and hazelnut brittle.
