I must admit I was a little skeptical when I walked in. The place was clean and a man came from the back with his gloves on. This meant he was ready to get down to business. Service was excellent and the food came out fast, hot and delicious. Biscuits and gravy was delicious! Pancake was butter creamy. Light and fluffy. Great place to go and a pleasant surprise. The only negative is to maybe turn the radio down but I do like Billy Joe. read more

What a find! We were leaving a wedding party in Placerville and stopped in Auburn for a quick brunch before we headed back to the Bay Area. Plenty of parking as it's located in a strip mall type-location. We had seven in our party. We didn't have to wait at all. They immediately moved tables and chairs to accommodate us. The food came quickly and they brought out all the accoutrements we asked for- Cholula, Tapatio, Tabasco, a chili sauce. We all ordered the fresh Orange juice and coffee. The group ordered an assortment of their breakfast platters and benedicts (all between appx. $12-$20). The platters offered a ton of food: eggs, meat, salsa, potatoes, toast, avocado). We also ordered a table peach and sugared ginger waffle and it was delicious. We had a great time and if/ when we come back through/ to Auburn- we will definitely stop by again. Thanks for the great meal. read more

Nancy's Cafe - Chicken fried steak with roasted potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Auburn, California

My husband and I stopped here after an early morning hike at Hidden Falls! We already had breakfast that day, so we were excited to know that you could get lunch at 10:45 am!! The staff was all so friendly and the restaurant was really clean, that's what I noticed first. The burger was delicious!! My husband definitely got the prize for tastiest entree, although my chicken sandwich was really tasty too! We got a salad instead of fries. The salad was cold, crispy, and fresh! The iced tea was plentiful and freshly brewed - we were even given a refill for the road. We weren't offered dessert, so I'm not sure if they have anything sweet or not. We were basically just handed the check after our plates were cleared. It felt a little unceremonious - which was a weird ending for a really great meal. read more

The inside of the restaurant looks very clean and gives off an old town breakfast spot vibes. Service was very quick, coffee promptly refilled. Food is excellent! I got the chicken fried steak and my wife got the banana foster french toast. Both were amazing! Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Great atmosphere, very nice people. Food was amazing with great portion sizes. Would recommend the Lumberjack breakfast for a strong, hardy meal read more

Nancy's Cafe is solid. We were driving past on I-80 and found this spot. The food's a step up from most breakfast joints--some indulgent stuff that hits the spot and good classic options too. The Mess for savory and bananas foster French toast for sweet. Service was on point; they even hooked our dogs up with water bowls since we were outside. It's in a shopping center lot, nothing fancy, just a straightforward, friendly family spot. Worth checking out. read more

Perfect brunch stop on our drive from California to Reno! The food was great, but what really made the experience special was how friendly and welcoming both the owner and the server were.

So this is what I believe Yelp is all about. We were traveling from Reno to Napa Valley. The tire light when on so we Yelped the nearest Les Schwab ... mission accomplished, just needed air. But it's time for breakfast Once again Yelped breakfast near my current location. Nancy's Cafe showed up as 4 1/2 stars. So there we went This appears to be a local spot. We had a great breakfast, service was great. It a fancy place, but great food, and plenty of it. I was amused by the ridiculously large variety of hot sauces available. I didn't opt for any. Highly recommend read more

15 mins wait for a party of 9. Quick service. Food was really good. It was packed in on a weekend. Plenty of parking since it's in a plaza with many other stores. It's across Save Mart. I wish the matcha pancake was more matcha-y. It just tastes like regular pancakes sprinkled with matcha powder. I wouldn't get it again. The server gave us water with ice, without ice, some with lemons, and refills lol she was so sweet. I would come back here again! read more

Average/everyday diner food that would rate midrange in a town with a more vibrant food scene.

We came here last week on a weekend! Great little place right off 49 in a strip mall! Very busy all seats were taken! We actually got seated at the last table that was open. The Food was really good! Definitely coming back, but during the week! So glad I decided to look the place up on Yelp because we wanted to come here today, but low and behold they are closed on Wednesdays! Oh well, we will try again! read more

Amazingly delicious - totally hit the spot! We enjoyed the friendly and attentive service, ample & consistent hot coffee refills and delicious flavorful hot omelets and hash browns! Thanks guys!! read more

I was really surprised with these 5 star reviews! When you see the $$$ signs, BELIEVE IT! The portions are very underwhelming for the price. The kids menu choices are also very expensive for what you get.. shoot, even the regular menu prices are ridiculous. The vibe was very awkward at arrival. They had 3 people manning the entry in this small establishment and did not feel welcoming. Expect to pay well over $50 for 2 people and not have anything left over. Also, i asked for over medium eggs and they were literally solid. I honestly think giving 2 stars is a bit generous. read more

The food was horrible. I asked for hamburger. Medium well, the inside was medium rare. The French toast wasn't cooked. All the way through the inside was raw juicy egg when it was supposed to be fluffy. The wait time was long but that could be a expected from a six people order. Overall I would give this a zero star review if I could very overrated. read more

Waiter was very friendly and outgoing. Working but going to college to become a fire fighter or an EMT. FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. I had the senior chocolate chip pancakes with a mountain of whip cream. Don't usually do this much but gave the waiter a $50 tip (for school). We're from Minden,Nevada and we're looking at new motor homes read more

We only make it Nancy's about once a year on our way between Northern NV and whatever destination we are going to in CA. This morning we walked in and we could tell things had changed. The art on the walls was by a different artist and we only recognized one staff member. It didn't take long to realize ownership had changed. Don't let that stray you! You may not be met by Nancy anymore, but this family has kept great food, portions for the prices, and exceptional service. The menu seemed to be the same with maybe a few more items. Change can be difficult, but this transition is smooth. We will be returning! read more

Bacon bendy or crisp? Can't say that's ever been asked for my style of bacon but much appreciated! We happen to have received awesome service from Nancy herself and she is awesome! The food was fresh, tasty and hit the spot! It's hard to recommended one item you truly can't go wrong with any dish there. The Original fire sauce do yourself a favor and give it a try! Our party walked away with three bottles and used it on everythinggg! We loved this place so much that we plan to go back tomorrow for round 2! Choice of decor will be appreciated from those 80-90s babies! It truly felt such at home and very well kept and clean! read more

We met the new owners and wish them the best. I had the falafel salad. It was fabulous and reasonably priced.

The omelette was well-prepared and the hash browns were extra crispy as requested. The service was a little hit and miss , but still worth another visit. read more

Another place that impressed me with breakfast!!! Nestled in an above average strip mall is Nancy's where you get served by Nancy with an awesome personality and great smile , her daughter runs the kitchen which dishes out some great food - we kept looking at all the other tables and all looked amazing, what we ate was amazing! I had chicken fried steak (cause I'm on a diet ) and it was huge and tasty ! The gravy ended up on my potatos also with a bit of their homemade hot sauce (which I bought a bottle of - she slipped it on the table so you become hooked ) and I almost licked the plate (which has huge servings ) , the wife had the turkey club and she finished it all (she usually takes half home ) so needless to say she liked it . I definitely will come back here and I recommend you do also ! read more
