Not my favorite by far. The place comes highly recommended so I think I just expected a lot better. The service is really slow. They seem to be short staffed. They never filled our teas. Once we were done eating we waited and waited for the waitress to come back with our check she never did. We were told we had to go to the cashier to pay. The decor is nice. Comfortable for lunch. The club sandwich has too much bread. Too dry and cheap lunch meats. Will not order this again. Chicken fried steak was greasy and Chewy. I would not have finished it, but my boyfriend was hungry. Mashed potatoes were cold. Had to add salt and pepper to the gravy. Green beans were ok. We have both had better. I personally am not interested in returning to this place. read more

This little boutique lunch cafe blew me away. Everything is made from scratch! I ordered the chicken and dumplings which were phenomenal! I can still taste them as I type! The Macaroni and cheese will catch you off guard! It's so delicious...we asked what was in it and was told it's a secret. Make sure you save room for one of their desserts! read more

Precious little local restaurant! We got the ham and cheese quiche with tomato basil soup. I chose fresh fruit while my daughter opted for a side salad with ranch. Absolutely delicious! The crust was so flakey and there was just the right amount of ham, light and fluffy. The soup was seasoned perfectly. Nice variety of fresh fruit. Portions were just right for lunch. My granddaughter wanted a biscuit which they weren't serving and the server suggested a roll with jelly - so accommodating! Great experience! read more

Nia's Towne Square Restaurant - Quiche, soup, fruit - American Near Me - Bay City, Texas

The food is always great! Home style comfort food like chicken and dumplings, or chicken fried steak. The grilled chicken salad was delicious! I highly recommend the food! The service wasn't as good as the food. They probably hired family or friends with no experience as waitstaff. It's a difficult job, and our waitress wasn't handling it well. We saw her three times total during our dining experience. If you're looking for great food, and don't mind terrible service, recommend. read more

Ordered the chicken fried steak and very disappointed with it. The steak was overcooked and mostly crust. The steak was tuff. It is overpriced. Service and setting was nice! read more

We met with relatives who recently moved to Corpus. Bay City is about half way between Corpus and Houston. We chose this restaurant based on the two Yelp reviews. I guess we weren't as ecstatic as the other reviewers. My wife had the Tri-Salad, my nephew had the quiche and I had the steak sandwich. Everyone's meal was okay, but the watermellon & bread pudding were excellent. I'm not a fan of crinkly fries. They never seem fresh, plus I asked for them to be cooked crisp and they weren't. My nephew's wife had a bad stomach so she ordered the tomato basil soup thinking it would be tomato juice with some seasoning. But, at this restaurant it's full bodied soup, which didn't work out well, but that's not the restaurant's fault it still detracts from the overall experience. There are two dining areas. One is high ceilinged, open, bright and has a diner look. The other appears to be the original restaurant which to me was more appealing. If you like it quiet choose the original area. We ate in the large bright room where there's no sound absorption so everyone's voices bounced off the walls making it hard for me to hear. The server was exceptionally friendly but very inattentive. None of us got water refills and a couple of other requests went unheeded. The problem was, at noon that day the rather large restaurant had many patrons and she was the only waitress. So, again it wasn't that she was uncaring, just too busy to provide service. None the less, it reflects on the place. If we meet in Bay City again we'll probably try another restaurant. read more

This place has been in business 15 years. Don't let the small number of reviews fool you. The food is very good. We had chicken-fried steak with homemade sides. The meat was local and the gravy was excellent. We also had the homemade chicken salad. It was excellent as well. To round it off, the atmosphere was relaxing and the wait staff were very cordial. read more

Every meal I enjoy at Nia's Towne Square is my favorite! I highly recommend the steak fingers. The gravy served with the steak fingers is amazing. I also love the chicken salad and fresh fruit. And the quiche and soup is the perfect meal on a rainy day. The desserts are made fresh (not Cisco) and I like that they are laid out on a table so you can get a good look. I never miss an opportunity for chocolate cake to go! This spot is busy and it can be hard to snag a table on Fridays particularly. If it's a busy day and you're in a hurry, just let the staff know when you order. The restaurant is open during the week (not weekends) for breakfast and lunch. Give breakfast a chance when you have time...and consider dining outside. Bon appetit! read more

Best kept secret in Bay City! This quaint restaurant is an excellent place to go and enjoy a great meal, not to mention the desserts!

Town square has been around awhile (formerly Thyme & Again) and has wonderful food. They specialize in sandwiches but also have some great home cooked favorites as well. They are only open for lunch except Thursday nights. They are normally packed at lunch time being right across the street from the county courthouse. Everything is cooked to order and can be a long wait and eat up most of your lunch hour sitting around waiting so it's best to order as soon as you get there. Posted a menu in pics to help you out :) read more

Whenever we are in Bay City, Nia's is the restaraunt of choice for every noon meal! Every morsel is so good that it feeds your soul as well as your tummy. Our favorite is the chicken fried steak and her amazing Jane Salad! Every dessert is homemade delicious! I especially love her Italian Wedding Cake...like no other you will ever taste! I asked her to make a chocolate birthday cake for my mom, her favorite and literally everyone around the table couldn't stop talking about the unusual chocolate frosting that was divine, really! None of us had ever tasted anything like it...so good! Nia's is a down home quaint Texas establishment...you feel the love the moment you walk through the door. And trust me, you will be back! It's that good! Enjoy, Renae read more

Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is homemade and always taste great I love the corn bread I could eat there every day

Great comfort food all made from scratch. Best chicken fried steak i have ever eaten in my life! Green beans, mashed potatoes, and gravy also delicious! Soups, salads, and sandwiches good too! read more

This place has a new owner and most of the previous menu is still being served. The grilled chicken sandwich is wonderful with grilled onions and peppers, cheese and avocado. Well worth it for lunch. I ate breakfast this morning here and the food was very good. Had the omelette and it was perfect. read more

Great food. I was looking for a place to have an American breakfast and this place didn't disappoint. That eggs and French Toast were amazing. read more

This restaurant was exceptional! Our family of 6 was traveling home from Rockport and we found this place on Yelp. Several daily specials to choose from and they all spelled COMFORT! My husband had the T-bone steak special with sides of cabbage and black eyed peas. Seemed like a big meal for lunch, but after a week at the beach, we needed a balanced meal and this hit the spot. Steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Sides were excellent as well. Potato/bacon soup was creamy and delicious. Homemade chicken salad on a croissant was fresh and meaty. Kids had bacon burgers and they were large and juicy. What an unexpected and super pleasant surprise. We will definitely go back! read more

Best Salads in town. She also does a mean grilled pork chop!

Very good homemade food at a great price! Recommend this little hole in the wall. The breakfast is huge. I will come back for sure!

We stopped in for lunch while on a work trip in Bay City. Nia's came highly recommended by our hotel clerk and we weren't disappointed! I asked if I could just order sides and it wasn't a problem. The food came out quick and tasted fresh and homemade. The green beans were exceptional and some of the best I've ever had. While we were ringing up, one of the kitchen staff brought out big ol' hunks of chocolate cake, still warm from the oven, packaged in to-go containers to set by the register, so of course, one of those left with me! This will definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm in town. read more

This place is better than an a town like Bay City deserves. I am impressed. By far the best place in town. Its cute, the wait staff is nice and the food is fresh and really tasty. I was just happy to be eating in here. If you haven't tried it your depriving yourself of something special. read more

I'd give no stars if I could. I'll start with I never got service. For some reason no one came to wait on me nor did they apologize for the wait. I wanted to eat at a cute little cafe so this place was perfect. I'm from oiut of town btw. They were busy so I knew they were good. I got a coffee and sat and waited on my waitress. I knew they were busy so I stayed patient and read the local news paper and studied the menu. My waitress never came. I was sitting right next to the register where the owner was standing clearly watching me. She saw no one had come to give me service and still even she didn't come take my order. I hate to pull the race card because that's just not me but it was obvious they didn't want to serve me. I'm Hispanic btw and the owner and waitresses were white. There was 1 table with Hispanics and the another with some black people but idk how long their wait was or how they were treated. The owner stood right in front of me at the register the whole time and never once came and asked if I needed anything, nor did she apologize for the wait. People came and went. Many after me, they were promptly waited on and served and even paid and left and still no one came. After forty minutes I walked up to the register and asked if someone was waiting tables or if I was supposed to order at the register. The owner in a condescending tone said," you can order here if you want". So I asked again if someone was supposed to wait on me. And she said "oh, yea you haven't been waited on maybe it's because you're expecting someone". Just an fyi she and another waitress asked if I was expecting someone so they knew I wasn't. And i said no I'm not expecting someone. Then she looked at me and said ok. Still no apology. I paid for my coffee and left. I'll never go back. I've never experienced this. It was so obvious they didn't want to serve me. I honestly was so disturbed by the whole situation. I completely lost my appetite and left town. read more

okay--this is good! Every Friday for lunch--during the week when I am in town. Sweet potato fries have a dipping sauce, mmmm good! Love the quiche that is made fresh every day. Count on a daily special--with good old home cooking! read more
