The Bird's Nest Serving Lunch Dee Gannon, MT43 News Correspondent Birdi’s a Foodie!
How exciting, there is a new place in town to get a fantastic, quick lunch. The Bird’s Nest, 200 Broadway now has quarter pound all beef hot dogs (with all the trimmings), Bob’s ‘famous’ brats, chili, chips and assorted desserts every day from 11 am to 2 pm.
As tables fill for lunch, Birdi Kribs, owner of the Bird’s Nest, makes sure everyone has what they need. Of course, all ingredients are locally sourced, as she believes “that community support is so very important. We wouldn’t even be here without that community support. We must give back”.
The Bird’s Nest has so much to look at, all from mostly local vendors. There is furniture; a vintage/antique room and a crystal room. There is so much more, new, used and handmade( in Montana) …you can get lost for hours looking at everything.
This is Birdi’s fourth business here in town; the first being across the street was called “Hot Spot”, about 12 years ago. She then moved to where the Big Sky Autism Project is now located. She kept expanding, and moved across the street from there, opening the “Bird’s Nest”. She sold that a couple of years ago, and got bored…so she moved to her current destination, at the corner of Broadway and Pine.
“This is such a better location; one block from the four-way; and, we have so many more vendors here, just because of the size,” Birdi continues, “we are just so grateful for the local support; and all the vacationers and travelers that come in. Just let me know, what else you would like to see. We have true craftsmen who are gracious enough to share their talents, I’m so appreciative. It makes our store a showplace".
And, showplace it is. And great food it is. Prices are right in there, too. Hot Dog meal includes Hot dog with trimmings, choice of chips and canned drink for $8; Brat meal, same sides as above for $9; chili lunch is chili (and fixins) and crackers with a canned drink for $6. Ala carte is $4. Dessert is extra; all homemade, too. It’s a deal for sure… Plus, you get to browse.
Come on in; to eat or to browse the treasures. You’ll be happy you did!
