What AutumnLP likes about Boars Nest And Grill:
It's a cool little place. Packed from the jeep run. We sat outside... if they had the heaters or a fire we would have stayed longer. The food was super yummy. And service was really good considering they were swamped. Overall nice place. View all feedback. What Noj doesn't like about Boars Nest And Grill:
My family and I are regulars. Love the atmosphere, food and service. The Boar 's Nest really has that hometown feel. The folks running the place are the best. Even if you offered me a free meal at some high society joint like the 'Broadgage ' in Petersburg, I would turn it down and go to the Nest instead. View all feedback.

Food is very good! Fried mushrooms are the best I've had anywhere! I would highly recommend trying them if you're a mushroom lover.
