The food is delicious, and serving sizes are huge. Two in our party ordered breakfast, and 2 ordered lunch - all entrees were fantastic! Prices are good for the amount of food you get. Will definitely be going back!

What a delicious, tasty, and hardy meal Nancy's Cafe serves. The restaurant was busy when we arrived, a table was available but not a booth which was our preference. The hostess promised to move us to a booth once one was open. The...Read More

Has vegan options. Potions have gotten a lot smaller than pictures shown in review and they no longer have their own hot sauce which is a bummer. Friendly service. Still recommend as a vegan inclusive breakfast stop.

The bananas foster french toast was great! It's a bit sweet, of course, with syrup and whipped cream, but really good. We also had the Sieera omlett. It was big and full of great fillings, like lots of bacon. Since it's...Read More

The wait can be long but it's worth it! The Caprese Benedict was scrumptious and the hashbrowns paired very well with their hot sauce. Arnold Palmer was also a great touch with the freshly squeezed lemonade. And I can't forget to mention how great the staff is!...Read More

The cranberry orange pancakes were so good! My only complaint is with all breakfast places, where are the pancake plates like they have for omelettes? I have to buy bacon and hash browns from the sides menu which makes my meal extremely expensive. Those of us...Read More
