    Always welcoming Vicky! Sharing food next to the warm fireplace and taste of Winter lager, french onion soup, and perfectly grilled burger, Nancy's is truly a neighborhood gem. Prompt service and friendly staff complimented the memorable ambience. Cozy and shooshy shoosh.

    I must have driven past Nancy's thousand's of times and never noticed it. What a charming oasis it is once you enter. Dark wood, beamed ceilings and even a fireplace makes you feel right at home. We started with the potato and bacon soup which was luscious and tasty. The Country Salad with crispy goat cheese fritter, mixed greens, tomatoes, carrots, bacon, candied walnuts, roasted garlic vinaigrette was outstanding and addictive. For entrees, the Grilled Hangar steak with Mexican street corn and French fries was cooked and seasoned perfectly and delicious. Also opt'd for one of the specials which was pork chop with spaetzle which was another great dish. Do not skip dessert! The homemade bread pudding served with caramel and ice cream was unreal. It was decadent, not too sweet and something we couldn't stop eating. It was exceptional. I would defintley fine again at Nancy's since now I know what I've been missing all these years.

    Wonderful experience at Nancy's. The owner was so helpful and open to our ideas for our baby shower in her restaurant (November 2024). The food was tasty and prompt. Would definitely go there again. Environment was calm yet classy.

    I just celebrate my baby's first birthday and Christening weeks ago. The owner of the restaurant Vicky is really helpful, she allowed us to come a bit earlier to decorate the place. It was my first time decorating and she gave us a couple of great suggestions. The staff were very warm and welcoming to all the guests. Food is really good. The place is great. I will definitely come back next year for any private events.

    Unfortunately, I have to give a review on the food, which was horrible. I honestly hate giving two stars to a family owned restaurant. Maybe it can be looked into. The appetizers were better the main entrees, which is crazy. I had the burger, which had no flavor at all, the lettuce on the burger tasted unwashed, fries was excellent. The salmon my father had was too salty. My sister had the pulled pork risotto and had to give it back as it tasted like canned pork and the cheese from the risotto had a bad after taste. My mother had the veggie risotto but sent it back as well because it had a bad after taste. However, the service and wine were excellent. I'm not sure if the food is bad or the chef needs to put a little flavor in the food. My family was pretty displeased as it was my niece's birthday and wanted to try a different restaurant in my neighborhood. The restaurant has a cozy vibe which was nice! But I will not return for the food.

    Food was all very good. Reservation held and table ready. Talkative crowd but not loud enough to yell LOL. Older woman server was a pistol. Helpful and friendly. Buffalo shrimp has too much breading but tasted good. Warm spinach salad was tasty but not warm. Hangar steak on sizzling platter was good BUT because it keeps cooking the meat the medium rare went medium. Next time I'll say rare. Pan roasted crispy Chicken was delicious. Home maybe tagliatelle was super! Al dente thought it would be mushy but was not. Grilled pork chop was HUGE. We laughed at how big it was. Asked for medium but was slightly dry. Flavor and veggies were good though. Hot brownie was Amazing. Bread pudding not so much. Decaf espresso martini was great as was my Irish coffee. Would return. Don't be put off by the non- description exterior. And parking is lousy. But manageable.

    Hanger steak absolutely delicious.

    This place was absolutely amazing . The bread they give you on the table with the dipping oil was delicious right there we knew dinner was going to be amazing. The apps to dinner for Easter Sunday couldn't have been better. We all enjoyed our dinners. We don't live in the area but we will definitely be back. The service was excellent as well.

    I had my baby shower over at Nancy's over the weekend, and Vicky was amazing with helping us out and accommodating the venue to our needs, we had a total of 46 people so we ended up doing one long table of 32, and 2 tables of 6 but there was enough room for 3 tables of 6-8. The food was also amazing !! I received a bunch of messages from my family and friends after on how much they enjoyed the food, we got the whole restaurant to ourselves and she was very attentive and even offered to let us to come in early to decorate. Was an amazing four hours and super affordable especially compared to similar packages in the area couldn't beat it! Will definitely be recommending Nancy's for years to come :)

    I enjoyed the food here. We sat down right away and the waiter was great. We had the homemade mozzarella sticks which were really homemade. I ordered the hanger steak. It was good. The drinks were great. Staff was friendly and attentive. Will be back soon.

    Nancy's, is my go to eatery when I'm in Floral Park. The food is always on point and the prices are reasonable. Vicky, the owner is very attentive and chef David never disappoints.

    the chicken dish. Pretty good in my opinion! The waiter recommended this.

    When you write a Yelp review, 2 stars literally means "Meh. I've experienced better." In this case, that would be an understatement... but I know that if I ordered something else, and if my waiter had perhaps been more experienced, I likely would have given this restaurant either 3 or maybe 4 stars. Here's the thing... parking is limited on the streets, but the place itself is nice looking. I believe it's adequately staffed, even for a Saturday night. Maybe they can use a "busboy," but if they're not filling the place up, I understand why they would cut that position. I definitely like the atmosphere there. The men's bathroom has more than one urinal and two lovely, large sinks. I found the place to be clean, and the wait staff have a uniform of sorts, and they all had a nice demeanor about them. Bread rolls are served cold. The menus are cute, but a bit confusing (there are 2 pages, one a regular menu, and the other for specials where some of the regular dishes are repeated with slight variations). The waiter starts with a drink order. I got a glass of Riesling, and I was surprised to find that they even had it there. When it came, I was disappointed, as the taste was bittersweet, unlike the typical Riesling... normally my favorite wine. I asked if I could return it... the waiter obliged with no problem, and actually brought me a small sample amount of "sweet wine", since that's what I like, but a different brand. I didn't like that one either, and just asked for a ginger ale. When we placed the order for food, I asked for a salad to share with my wife (and an extra plate, of course), and the "Risotto / Maine Lobster (with corn and baby arugula)" for 16.95. I thought this was a pretty decent deal for a lobster! Still though, it was listed under Appetizers, and I asked if it's really an appetizer. The waiter, a very young guy, said that if I wanted to, I could get it as a main course. Great! After he walked away, I remembered that I really love the tomalley (that disgusting green stuff that's inside the breast of a freshly cooked lobster), so I ran over to him to ask him to be sure that it's left inside, and not discarded. Salad came. It was really, really good. I highly recommend the Arugula Salad if you come here. And not only did they bring the extra plate that I asked for, but they actually split up the salad and the goat cheese for us. It looked fresh and beautiful, and was a very large portion (if it was for one person, it could serve as an entree) and tasted great. I was only saddened by the news from our waiter that the chef cleans out the lobsters first thing in the morning, so there wouldn't be any tomalley to serve me. Then my Risotto / Maine Lobster arrived. You can check out the photo. I was like "OMG, they gave me the appetizer as a mistake." I asked the waiter just to be sure. "Nope...that's the Entree portion." It was a decent-sized blob of risotto, topped with about a dozen small chunks of lobster, probably equating to an entire lobster claw cut into 6 pieces, and 6 or so other smallish chunks from an arm. I was blown away... not impressed. Mind you... at no time did we discuss how I wanted it cooked (steamed or boiled or broiled), nor did it say "Whole Lobster" anywhere on the menu, and the word "whole" never came up in conversation. I was wondering if the waiter had ever seen this served before, as "cleaned in the morning" doesn't usually mean that it comes served as some smallish chunks from a whole lobster. This means that it was actually COOKED in the morning, then cleaned and probably cut... in the morning. Or maybe it was frozen, and heated as it's requested. I don't know... but man, was I disappointed. The risotto was good... it's not something I was expecting to be my Entree. I eat Risotto on the side... never as a main dish. My wife's mussels were OK. My dad was really happy with his whole wheat pasta dish. My mom got her Grilled Steak. Having asked for it "Medium" but receiving it fairly burnt (some pieces burnt to a complete crisp), she asked to return it. FYI, anything "blackened" can contribute to causing cancer. F-that. (I tried the steak. It was a shame to throw away. It had a nice flavor.) She got the chicken instead, and wasn't really thrilled with it. We skipped dessert. The check still showed the wine I returned, and while the waiter told me that my risotto/lobster would cost "no more than $24.95", I was charged 26.95. He gave me a bit of trouble about taking my Riesling off the check, as I "drank some." I pressed on about it, and he removed it from the check, and reduced the lobster to 24.95... but wow, what a rip off. That's the rub. It's not really a bad place, but I ordered the wrong thing, perhaps on the wrong day, and neither the menu or waiter were helpful in communicating to me what I'd be receiving. I hope you have a better experience.

    Buffalo shrimp with blue cheese dressing - 09/12/2020
    Natasha F.

    Really glad we came here to celebrate our anniversary - Great place to come to with professional service! Had a great meal - Goat cheese salad with shrimp - shrimp tasted great and so did the goat cheese - I gave most of my salad to my husband though it was doused in vinegar wasn't too much of a fan of that part - risotto was delicious and cooked to perfection! We each had a Negroni cocktail and no complaints there - their French fries were cooked to perfection - crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle - chicken fingers were a bit dry but edible - buffalo shrimp cocktail was devoured by husband - you can't go wrong ordering the brownie for dessert it was delicious :) my daughter liked the Creme Brûlée - I am glad they offer a separate dessert menu - very professional! Instead of announcing what the desserts are - Friendly service all around.

We started with the calamari, which was delicious, and even the bread they brought out was so fresh and warm. For dinner, I got the spicy rigatoni and added shrimp, and it was absolutely amazing. My date got the short rib pappardelle and loved his as well. We finished with the cheesecake, and this is where I have to give a huge shoutout to our waitress, Amanda. She was incredible from start to finish -- attentive, sweet, charismatic, funny, and just genuinely made the whole experience that much better. When we ordered dessert, she told us she was going to find us an awesome, big piece of cheesecake and asked which drizzle we wanted -- raspberry, chocolate, or caramel. Naturally, I said, "Give me all the drizzle," and she immediately said, "You got it." When she came back, she told us she didn't think she was able to find us a big enough piece, so she was taking the dessert off the bill. Meanwhile, we were looking at the cheesecake thinking the portions were completely fine! It was such a sweet and unnecessary gesture, and the cheesecake itself was delicious. The Harrison already has great food and such a nice vibe, but Amanda really made the experience memorable. She's the main reason I wanted to go out of my way to leave a review. I'll definitely be back!

This place is the things you'd want in an outdoor Beer garden - casual eats in the Brat Haus and beers on tap. Not to mention the in-house private event space that does have air conditioning.

A beautiful bar with a Stein wall with lockers for patrons who wish to store them - you see that just past the host station. The indoor dining room just beyond. We started with the Wurst Sampler Platter. Think bratwurst, knackwurst, krainerwurst, and jalapeno cheddar bratwurst. I had no idea there were so many varieties and it was paired with the best potato salad I've ever had. Authentic and delicious sauerkraut to match. Also ordered the House-Cured Slab bacon, paired with a blackberry gastrique. Excellent choices I must say. For dinner, we just had to try the Schnitzel. Admittingly, it was hard to decide (all were veal options and there was one chicken option)! I chose the Champignon Rahmschnitzel and hubby got the Jager Schnitzel. Both were topped with sauce and mushrooms - but entirely different. The Rahmschitzel was breaded veal and had a white creamy mushroom sauce. So delicious! And the Jager one was pan-seared veal with a demi-glace sauce. Outstanding as expected...I was literally drooling at every plate that passed me by. Topped my meal with some hard cider and I was golden. Stuffed and happy! Plattduetsche Park is so rich in history and they have established roots in the community going back 100+ years (established in 1901).

I do not think we will come back for a special holiday again.
