Crow's Nest Drive-In

Crow's Nest Drive-In has been a Montesano landmark since 1981, serving the community and travelers along Highway 12 with classic American drive-in fare. Located at 441 S Main Street in the heart of downtown Montesano, this family-owned restaurant specializes in fresh, never-frozen hamburger patties cooked to order, hand-breaded fish made in-house, and the famous Cascade Glacier ice cream sourced from Eugene, Oregon. The Philabuster, a half-pound burger named in honor of Phil Papac, remains a customer favorite alongside the Western Burger with onion rings and Swiss cheese, the Chicken Bacon Ranch, and the Cod Burger with crispy hand-breaded cod. Vegetarians enjoy the Garden Burger made with rolled oats, mushrooms, and cheese, or opt for fresh salads with multiple dressing options. The drive-thru lane welcomes guests who prefer to stay in their cars, with clear signage directing drivers to stay left upon entering the parking lot. Dining options include dine-in, takeout, or drive-thru service. Summer hours extend to 9pm from June 15 through September 15, while standard hours run 11am to 8pm daily. The restaurant closes for major holidays including New Year's Day, Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. With a 4-star rating from 875 reviews, Crow's Nest continues delivering quality comfort food that has made it a Grays Harbor County institution for over four decades.
