The Ladies who work here seem to always be aggravated and bickering among each other. The food is good, the atmosphere sucks. There are better places to spend your money at. read more

Our favorite place for years. Staff, food quality and price are very good. If you ask for something minor extra they go out of their way to do so , same in if anything s wrong or not hot enough. They bake their own bread so good and you can uv a loaf to take home. This local owned establishment needs our support. Take a chance and remember what I have have stated, read more

The only reason for two was the service. The service is amazing these ladies work hard and do a great job The issue is the food. Not that it's bad it's just I can cook better than this place can. I had a standard eggs bacon and hash browns with biscuit and gravy and I could have saved my money and stayed in and ate the same thing. I think it may be my bad ordering but I wasn't impressed enough to return to try anything else. read more

Worst customer service ever. If I'm paying for the damn food, I should be able to ask for it to be not raw. Instead I get attitude from the waitress an get called names. Not professional at all, not even the manager is helpful to guest. read more

Service and food not good. Service was lousy. Messed up order twice on same thing. Their idea of hash browns are greasy chunks of undercooked potatoes. Omelettes with no cheese. And you'd better not get thirsty.... Getting someone to refill juice, coffee or water is NOT gonna happen. WILL NOT BE BACK! read more

We were in the neighborhood and knew of this place so decided to give them a try. It was 12:30 pm and they were serving breakfast only. I'm not sure if that is normal since another location does serve lunch. It could have been due to the holiday weekend or short staff, who knows. I ordered the Western Omelette with white toast. The omelette contained ham, bell pepper, onions, eggs and cheddar cheese. It was okay, cheddar is not my favorite. She ordered The Sampler which is 2 eggs with a choice of meat and either French Toast or a Pancake. She elected to go with the pancake. She said her meal was excellent! Her eggs were cooked perfectly. There was plenty of free parking in their lot. The restrooms were clean and odor free. The dining area was nicely decorated, spacious and mostly tables with a few booths by the windows. read more

The food was good for breakfast food. We walked in and stood in the entryway for a long time without anyone saying anything. We did not know if we should sit or just keep standing and my husband stated maybe we should just leave. I noticed that all tables were full, so thought we will give it a little as they are busy. We waited and it was awkward as you have to move out of the way since the entry is very small when people go in and out. Finally they started filling tables when there were a few that were open. But, the lack of greeting or understanding was not easy to swallow when you walk in to a new place. Overall the food was good, the place was very clean, and the staff were okay. read more

The food was good. I placed an order online and it wasn't exactly as ordered but the store corrected the issue and quickly.

Ive been here twice and was standing to be seated for over 5 minutes without ever been acknowledged though the people behind us were acknowledged by name the second they entered the restaurant. Both times we came we had to ask the bus girl for the refills, the receipt wasnt itemized so it just had the total, and the attitude of our "server" which we saw only to take our order was not friendly. The food is also average if not below average. We wont be back. read more

The food is fine, we've been here multiple times, however, the service hasnt been super friendly. My parents took my kids here for breakfast because I was hospitalized 6 weeks early having our baby who was then in the NICU sick while I was undergoing emergency surgery. During this time my parents stepped in and did what they could. The waitress had the nerve to (unkindly) ask my 3 year old "when's mommy going to finally cut your hair". His feelings were hurt, he loves his hair, it hadn't gotten brushed that day because priorities. The whole interaction was A little ironic given the name of the restaurant read more

We stopped into this nice Restruant for Breakfeast and it's a quaint nice place , prices were very reasonable, the waitress was very happy and awesome , food was excellent and hot we will be back French toast yummmmm read more

A Nice Restaurant - an omelet and french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Albany, Indiana

Good eats - the service is good but you need to be willing to wait when they're busy - generally just a couple of people working the dining room and they pretty much do it all including busing tables and refilling drinks - assure you breakfast is worth the wait, especially the French toast. read more

The service is always the best. My coffee cup never stays empty. The food is good and the portion sizes are great!

What a nice place. The home fries were the best that I've had out of all the local breakfast spots. The service was beyond excellent. I watched, Autumn, our server smoothly & pleasantly wait on and bus a nearly full dining room (with another server) and appeared to never miss a beat. She was attentive, friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend and will return. read more

I can't believe I've lived here for nine years before ever trying this restaurant. I've been here a few times now, always ordering breakfast. The portions are generous, the prices fair and everything I've ordered has been yummy. The roasted potatoes ("hash browns") are probably my favorite out of anywhere I've eaten. I haven't had the French Toast yet, but I have drooled a bit over my friends toast - they make their own bread! I can't really speak to the lunch options, but I've tried three different breakfast options and they were all a home run! read more

Awesome wonderful wonderful food. The service is great. I took one of my girlfriends here today for her birthday. She loved it.

If you like your food assembled from precooked parts, than you'd probably disagree with my rating. If it's a good home cooked breakfast you're after, try somewhere else. read more

My wife and I went here this morning without seeing any reviews before entering. I don't want to disrespect anyone's personal experiences, but ours was quite different than the 2.5 overall score. This was our first visit, so I was on guard going in. We were invited to sit where we liked, and chose a booth near the window. A nice early morning view, and our waitress, I suppose one of two ladies running the show, was to the table ever-so-quickly. She politely took our drink orders and my tasty coffee arrived hot and fresh. We deliberated over the menu, which is weighty without being overwhelming, and I finally chose a single slice of French Toast and a side of hash browns. I was TEMPTED to try biscuits and gravy, pancakes, or one of the specialty omelets, but I wanted to wade into the waters gently on this virgin visit. My wife opted for a veggie omelet and enjoyed it, but I only took a couple of bites so my personal review of that item will have to wait for another review. BUT MY FRENCH TOAST---YUM! It was fluffy, SWEEETTTT, and covered in a delectable powdered sugar topping that screamed out LOVE from the deepest recesses of the kitchen. I used a tiny bit of syrup that was served separately, and it was oh-so-nice, but not entirely needed. (no complaint though!) As for the hash browns, although they are more country-style potatoes than HB's, don't let that deter you from ordering some. They were seasoned up with joy and serendipity, and I found my taste buds levitating above my table in mere minutes. The potatoes have some really nice ingredients (green onions?) mixed in and are savory without being too slathered in salt. Now, in general, I'm not big on mixing savory and sweet, but THIS combo worked, AND, please note, I was SO FULL when I finished, in spite of only being set back 6-7 bucks. With my wife's meal we were at under 20.00 plus a 6 dollar tip for warm and welcoming service. The waitress(owner?) even comped me a hot cup of Joe in a to-go cup on the way out the door, and, I'm here to tell you, that cup of Joe stayed HOT for about the next 90 minutes while we ran other stops. So while I SEE the negative reviews, and understand that none of us in service (I'm a teacher) are perfect, and we all have days when we come up short on giving our best, I got A.N.R.'S BEST today, and will be back to see what other transcendent joy they have to offer. Support a local business (multiple locales, this one was Blackiston Mill) and have a yum-yum-YUM breakfast at the same time. They also have a lunch menu for those who are not the breakfast type. read more

More than just an unimaginative name, A Nice Restaurant really is... well, a nice restaurant. Let's be honest. The name of the joint isn't "A Restaurant That Will Send You Raving" or "A Restaurant That Will Blow Your Mind." No, it is "A Nice Restaurant" and that is exactly what it is. They do one meal, breakfast, and they do it well. The menu is pretty basic and includes eggs, omelets, pancakes, French toast, bacon, biscuits and gravy and so on; stuff you expect to find. There are the normal breakfast platters and the occasional seasonal fare such as autumn's pumpkin French toast which is very good. You won't leave feeling hungry and you're almost guaranteed to enjoy what you choose no matter what it is. My only complaints are personal preference ones in that I like my hash browns a little crispier than they prepare them and stuff like that. The servers run themselves ragged while cheerily attending to each table and the room has a bustling energy without feeling rushed. Seating is almost never an issue and the floor to ceiling windows are excellent for providing the morning's natural light. Along with the hand-painted walls and woven baskets, the feeling is warm and homey without feeling forced. While you probably won't go out of your way to visit, A Nice Restaurant provides the kind of value for your basic breakfast dollar that you will be hard-pressed better in New Albany. read more

Sexy Beast suggested that we give this place another shot. I acquiesced since holding a grudge is so very ugly. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our drink order was taken and delivered. And, then, it all went to hell. I excused myself to the restroom where I encountered our server as she was washing her hands. She looked at me as I walked in the door. I smiled and stepped past her into the stall. I shut the stall door, dropped trough, and, well, you know what happens in there. I heard the waitress open the outer door. The room went black. I hollered. The waitress walked out the door and it closed behind her. There I sat, pants down, in the dark, hollering. It was not cool. I groped around, got my pants up, shuffled out of the stall, slammed into the trash can, groped around the wall by the door, found the switch, flipped it on, and was rewarded with the reassuring embrace of light. I washed my hands and stomped back to the table where I informed Sexy Beast that we would be leaving. I even explained why. I also explained why to the offending waitress who was either stupid or callus enough to leave someone bare-assed in the dark in an unfamiliar room. She responded that she "didn't mean to" and waived away my offer to pay for our drinks. It's hard to imagine that her actions were unintentional after we'd made eye contact and acknowledged each others presence and I'm fairly sure she heard me when I bellowed when the lights went out. She heard me just fine when I ordered iced tea so she certainly wasn't hearing impaired. So, no, I won't be giving "A Nice Restaurant" another try. I'll be clutching this grudge to my bosom for quite some time. I don't give a damn how ugly it is. read more

We came here on recommendations from friends while we were visiting town. We were curious based on their review compared to the other reviews online. We did have a bit of difficulty finding the place as there is no sign and it's at the end of a strip mall, however once we located it this is what I can say....... As soon as we walked in we were pleasantly greeted by at least three members of the staff. We had barely got in our seat before they were at our table taking our drink orders, and we where asked multiple times if we had any questions about the menu. I will sum it up with this...... we lived our breakfast, everything was fantastic and fresh and the FRENCH TOAST is probably the best I have ever had.... period! I hate to hear some have critical reviews and less than pleasant experience here but our experience was nothing but positive and we will be back if nothing else for the French Toast. The only thing I could be a little criticalmof is the coffee was not great and tasted very generic, but I love coffee and in fairness this is not a Seattle Best Barista!! Great Job "A Nice Restaurant"! read more

A Nice Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Albany, Indiana

Recommended by my kids because it was close to their house. I was disappointed with everything I ordered but the rude put out waitress made it all the more disappointing. My wife ordered hot chocolate and water with her food. The water never came so my wife asked for it again politely. When she came back with the water she reached across four people to hand me the water then thew a straw across the table toward my wife, there was totally open space for her to walk the two more steps with the water. My toast was not toasted, butter on it was fake and tasteless. My western omelet was really a onion omelet with almost nothing else in it. The menu is thin, there is no healthy options and many items are basically store bought items. They don't even bake their own biscuits, the buy them at the store according to our waitress read more

A Nice Restaurant with crappy service. (Well not really nice either...) I couldn't give a lower score, but want to. Walk in, greeted with a grisly "booth or table, sit over there". Imagine Anne Ramsey's (Goonies or Throw Momma from the Train) voice. Sat and waited for 5-10 minutes and no one came to even say hello. The "coffee boy" walked around topping coffee three times in that period. There were maybe 3 waitresses for the whole place, ours was flirting with the old men at the larger table. Must be regulars. Well, the regulars can keep this place. It didn't surprise me this joint was rated 2.5 stars. I think that's a bit ambitious, but I should have known I was getting into something horrible from the get go. Avoid at all costs!!! I'm currently sitting in Flippin' Pancakes to the north. Hoping it is better there. Look for my later review for Flippin' Pancakes. read more

I really like the food at A Nice Restaurant. It is basic breakfast essentials; eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc. Like Chuck's Cafe in Jeffersonville, they bake the bread for their french toast in house. They also use fresh, not frozen, cubed potatoes and peppers to make their unique and delicious version of hash-browns. The food isn't as exciting or innovative as Toast on Market but it is also much less expensive and there is almost never a wait for a table. The serving sizes are also much bigger and the food has more of a home cooked feel to it. The service at A Nice Restaurant can be a little disorganized and slow at times. The staff seems less professional than at some other restaurants. It doesn't stop me from eating there but it definitely gives the place a "diner" feel. read more

Horrible service, no greetings and faces made. It wasn't even that busy and still got ignored (we were the only ones waited to be seated)

I was hesitant to go here, having seen so many bad reviews. However, the service and food was amazing! I ordered the BLT and a piece of French toast. It was, hands down, the best French toast I have ever had! They were quick to take our order and bring the food out. The prices were very cheap! I had a great experience and I look forward to going back soon! read more

A Nice Restaurant? Doubtful. Came in for breakfast and nothing was even close to edible. The eggs in the omelet were undercooked and runny, the veggies in the omelet were harder than a rock, the toast was so hard I could barely eat it. The hash browns were so undercooked that the potatoes were un-chewable. The service was completely abysmal and our drinks were never refilled. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

This place gets five stars for great service, great food and great prices! It was very tasty and fresh - the biscuit I had was toasted and didn't taste like it was just preheated. My husband had a big stack of thick French toast. Definitely a great breakfast stop! read more

My boyfriend and I come here religiously, as in every weekend sometimes both Saturday and Sunday you will find us eating here with smiling faces. Never once have I had terrible service and this is since I've been coming here the past 5 months. They know exactly what we want to drink when we come in and they have our food straight out. Our regular server had surgery recently leaving her out for a little while. But even with her being gone for a while things never changed. We still get our great service and welcoming faces all the time. I was a server at Cracker Barrel for a little over a year, and if there's one thing I know, SERVING IS A VERY STRESSFUL JOB. We all have our days but my rating is 100% OUTSTANDING for A Nice Restaurant. Ignore the bad reviews. read more

1. Very slow to take order even though only three tables and two servers???? 2. The potatoes were NOT hash browns....they are country style 3. The gravy was cold read more

Stopped by for breakfast. Restaurant was clean and not busy. Wait staff was not attentive. Waited 5ish minutes for first interaction. Coffee and food were both very acceptable. As we sat observing the kitchen staff, we noticed no one had hairnets, aprons or wore gloves while handling food. Cook just seemed to have on whatever he woke up in and again handled food with no gloves. Server was also cashier and aggressively threw receipt in our general direction. Poor review for wait staff who spent more time talking about personal issues than waiting on tables, poor kitchen staff hygiene and overall bad attitude of wait staff. Food was good, hopefully your experience will be more pleasant. read more

I have gone to this restaurant since I was a kid. I still get the same excitement and cravings every time I think about going as an adult! Service is good, food is yummy and super affordable, and they keep things clean. read more

What once was a bright, clean and cheerful restaurant, is now a dull, dingey, and dirty place. The floors were really filthy and the place is just really run down. The owners need to reinvest and take some pride in their place of business. It's really a shame. Won't be going back. read more

This is a cool place! Katie and I just moved to a house in New Albany. A Nice Restaurant is maybe a mile from our house. Katie has ate their before, but I have never been. During the week they serve breakfast and lunch and the weekends they just serve breakfast. They are only open in the morning to the early afternoon. I believe they close around two. It has your small diner, greasy spoon, kinda feel to the place. The service is polite and prompt. I ordered the hash browns and a biscuit with jelly. The hash browns are the home-fry cubed potato kind and not the shredded kind. They were very tasty. Meal was very reasonably priced. We will definitely try A Nice Restaurant again. Breakfast was great, I want to try their lunch sometime. read more

Service was horrible. Our waitress was extremely rude. She never came back to check if we needed anything. Left our bill at the time that our food came. Slammed my drink on the table, with no ice, and walked away. French toast was decent. The veggie omelet sucked, as the vegetables were basically raw. Would not recommend. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

This very assumingly named place is in a very unassuming location. It sits on the corner of a shopping center a bit from the main road with a nail salon and a dry cleaner. The inside is cozy but not very interesting. What they lack in appearance is made up for by service. On a busy morning, I ordered and recieved my food in less than 15 min. Usually I would be nervous because that means it was premade. I ordered the quesadilla and it was hot, fresh, and delicious. I initially was going to give it 3 stars because I am big on atmosphere, but I'm upping it to 4 because of the service and the food I recieved. It's not the most interesting experience, but it is functional and tasty- and that is commendable! read more

We visited a few months ago and, although the food was good, the service was very slow and disorganized. We thought about giving them another chance today. We were seated right away, but that was it. We sat and watched as 3 parties who were sat after us had their orders taken. We still hadn't been acknowledged or a drink order taken. We got up and walked out. I did speak to the person who appeared to be in charge as we left. Instead of apologizing, she immediately turned to the greeter and asked where we were sitting. It shouldn't matter. What should matter is implementing a more organized system to prevent this from happening. read more

More like 'A Mediocre Restaurant'. The biscuits & gravy taste like they're straight out of a can. They could have at least spiced it up a bit. The western omelette was super average & the table top was loose to top it off. read more
