On April 5, 2026, at 11:33 AM, I found a long hair in my waffle from Nudy's Café Chadds Ford (photo timestamp included). When I reported it, I was transferred to multiple staff members, received no apology, and was told the issue was "not a big deal." I was instructed to return for a replacement, with no refund or corrective action offered. This is a serious food safety and hygiene concern. I have submitted an official complaint to Delaware County Health Department and expect management to address this immediately. read more

My husband decided to order breakfast to go before we headed back home. He went for an omelette with spinach, onions, turkey sausage, paired with shredded hashbrowns and an English muffin. According to him the omelette was delicious and well-made with the spinach and onions adding a nice, savory touch. The turkey sausage was perfectly cooked. The shredded hashbrowns were crispy and flavorful and the English muffin was the perfect side. I didn't order anything myself but he mentioned he truly enjoyed the meal. The cafe had a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the food definitely left a positive impression. We'll certainly keep it in mind for future visits! read more

Just about all of them are very dirty and have some kind of bug problem. The one in Paoli even though they have an open kitchen, I've noticed that they use their bare hands to handle raw chicken and then touch other foods without washing read more

Great breakfast spot. Huevo Ranchero is the best around. So is everything else on the menu!

Simple, no-frills breakfast spot with a classic diner feel. Affordable prices, quick and friendly service, and a large menu with plenty of options to choose from. Great for a casual, budget-friendly meal to start your day. read more

Awesome! Gluten friendly! Great food! Ok table.. Excellent service! Thanks so much!!!!!

Met a friend for an early lunch The club sandwiches we choose were fantastic However the service was extremely rush : The less than friendly server came back to the table four or five times picking up any empty plate , empty straw and sugar packet paper. I had suggested this restaurant to my friend since I had been to other Nudy's locations and was never rushed like this read more

Was good when I first opened. Lately a little disappointing. If you can't make homemade fries with flavor, how simple is that? . The hashbrowns were white and had no flavor. The toast was limp not toasted really! My cream chip beef was served. Cool temperature. If this is the kind of food you get why go out for breakfast? I can make it at home so much better ! read more

FDC and I were preparing for a shopping trip to nearby Costco. We headed to Nudy's for breakfast first because one should never enter Costco feeling even slightly hungry or you will emerge with $300 worth of food items you were not planning to buy until you had a sample and it was soooo good. Nudy's is a local chain with a name that sounds dirty but isn't. This was a new location for us. It's a stand alone building with tables & a dining counter. As it was quite crowded we opted to sit at the counter. Typically this is fast. Secretly I love to do this as it reminds me of classic diners with stools that spun around when I was a kid. It seemed special then. Both FDC and I have worked as servers, so we are both respectful and conscious of how the front of house is run. Where there is a counter typically a server has "the counter" as part or all of their area, and they may also help with expediting and drink service for tables close by. On this visit there did not seem to be this kind of management, nobody seemed to "have" the counter. So, we waited. And waited. Staff went by us and others, the front of house manager ignored us, choosing to berate a server who was struggling instead. Not s hood optic. We finally asked a server passing by if we could order, we knew it wasn't her area and promised a big tip if she would help us. She did, and was super nice. Food was solid. My waffle was crisp and fruit fresh. FDC said her omelet was very good. I'd recommend though that rather than berating a server more than once in front of customers on a busy morning perhaps you should pitch in and expedite or notice you've got a counter full of people who aren't getting any service at all. The food was fine. The front of house wasn't. We can't think of s good reason to go back. read more

Woo hoo this is officially the third Nudy's I've visited. I really like this one because the parking is good, the inside is pretty and comfortable and the food and service is up to par with all the Nudy's. Today I had The grilled shrimp salad which was a nice selection of grilled shrimp atop greens with some avocado, slivered almonds and mandarin slices. It was advertised as having a "fan" of avocados. I didn't get that many avocados. There were 4 thins slices spread across the plate. That disappointed me a bit because for the price I was expecting at least half an avocado. And i chose this salad over others because of its description. Regardless, I did enjoy this entree. My dining partner had The farmers omelette and he enjoyed it. The coffee was strong and good. Service was very attentive. read more

-Indoor dining Review- Restaurant: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: Free Parking Lot Came here twice now for breakfast/brunch, both visits were hit or miss in terms of food. Service however has been consistent. It gets busy, especially on weekends. So expect to wait outside or in your car for 10-15 minutes. -Restaurant- Typical diner restaurant vibe, tables and chairs wobble a little here and there, chairs are somewhat uncomfortable, some tables are sticky (Not sure if they were just way too busy the days we went and couldn't wipe them down properly or not. Some menus has seen better days. With that being said, rest of the restaurant seems clean and somewhat maintained. -Service- Staffs are very accommodating and friendly. -Food- Unfortunately I've lost some of the food pictures we took. But the items we ordered were (Here's where the hit or miss came in) --Farmer's Omelets (Not too good, a little blend) --Cream Chipped Beef (Delicious) --Breakfast Burrito (Just OK) --Huevos Rancheros (Delicious) --Belgian Waffles with Banana Walnut (Amazing!!!!) Overall a good restaurant if you are craving certain breakfast items, but not the best. Price is pretty decent, (not sure now with all the inflation) read more

Nudy's Cafe - Chadds Ford - Belgian Waffles with Banana Walnut - American Near Me - Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania

This place is alright! Simple, and straight to the point. I met my manager here for a one on one sales meeting on the Friday after Christmas. We had both eaten a lot in the recent days and knew more food was on the horizon as we entered NYE weekend. It's nice inside. It's bright and spacious. A sunny diner, I'd say. We both quickly glanced at the menu; but from what I remember it was all pretty standard breakfast food. No dishes really stood out to me. I had two eggs over easy, with wheat toast and home fries. My boss had a ham & cheese omelette, which he seemed to enjoy. My meal was good as well. All was as expected. read more

Not good. Ordered the Cajun chicken salad. Chicken was extremely dry and under seasoned. Salad just had a weird taste. Rotten lettuce. Not satisfying very underwhelming. They can do better considering the area they are in. read more

The Belgian waffle with banana walnut was delicioussssss!!!! Ordered it with a side of two scrambled eggs and sausages. The sausages were HUGE! My husband got the omelet with salsa on top.. pretty delicious! Coffee was alright. Service was amazing! read more

Five of us visited on a Sunday. Granted the restaurant was busy; however, when our food arrived, it was cold. The waiter didn't return so we could bring it to his attention. I could not eat a cold omelet not to mention the fact the order wasn't correct. It was the House omelet, which is to include feta cheese. It didn't nor were the hash browns cooked as requested. I reached out to the restaurant about two weeks ago and have heard nothing from them. Maybe this is a one off, but I am unsure if I will return The food was disappointing and the service was average. read more

Great food & service! Amazing potions & quality. Loved it. I recommend it strongly! Everything about it was 5star!!

Ordered take out. It was ready quickly. French toast was good. The fruit on top was poor quality. And the bacon had to have been leftover from the weekend. Dried out and old. read more

Nudy's Cafe - Chadds Ford - I think this bacon had to have been made days ago. - American Near Me - Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania

Good food, plenty of choices. Big pancakes, the eggs very poached to perfection in the crabs Benedict. Service was excellent. The staff seemed engaged and friendly. Riley, our waitress, was cheerful, helpful and was there to check on us. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor dining. The decor is simple and appropriate. Worth the stop en route Longwood Gardens. read more

Quick, clean and good breakfast. Enjoyed this new location. Will go back when in the area. Service was attentive. Prices online with most.

While staying in the area, we dined here two days for breakfast . Food was delicious and service was great. Definitely recommend!

My wife had the French toast which she said was absolutely perfect. I had the patty melt which was to die for. Cheese, meat, coleslaw and sauce perfectly blended together. And did I mention the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Two of my daughters and I had brunch at this Nudy's today. They had both already been to this location a few times, while I had only gone to the ones in Devon and Ardmore. They both got the California Benedict and the non-vegetarian also had some turkey bacon (which basically tastes and has a mouth feel like ham). After seeing the huevos rancheros on the menu the last time I was at the Ardmore location, I went for it and ordered them. They were very good and cooked perfectly - Nudy's version serves them over hash browns instead of with tortillas or tortilla chips. While I really liked their version, I would have liked the crunch of a few tortilla chips on top. Overall though, I loved them. Can't wait for breakfast tomorrow so I can have my leftovers! read more

The breakfast my son and I had was amazing. The almond French toast was just so delicious, with several almond slices grilled on top of the thick bread slices. The eggs over easy and crispy bacon were done perfectly. We were able to get natural maple syrup for the French toast. Wonderful breakfast. read more

So, it's a diner. I've lived in this area for 30 years and I had never been to a Nudy's before (it is a local chain). I was aware of it, but had never had occasion to go. I dined in a party of two on a Friday at about 9 am at the Painters Crossing location. It was bustling. There were groups of adults, families with babies, folks having informal breakfast meetings. This place clearly appeals to a wide demographic. The restaurant is clean, bright and fairly compact, but with a variety of booths and tables. Everyone is nice and the vibe is upbeat. Our server was prompt and efficient. The food came quickly and I was out of there in 45 minutes. The food, well the food is very average. I had a ham and cheese omelet with home fries and toast. My guest had pancakes. Perfectly fine. Nothing different than you can get at other diners. Prices are fine. This place clearly fills a niche in Chadds Ford. read more

Service by Cassidy was fabulous. I ordered the eggs Benedict with fruit. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the fruit sweet and ripe. My husband's burrito was excellent. Coffee limitless and decent. Will stop again. read more

Good service & quality food. I sat outside with my 2 kids & it was enjoyable. I will return.

The food was good and atmosphere was comforting. The restaurant was easy to get as well since it was on a main thoroughfare.

This is a good local spot! I've had pretty inconsistent service everytime I've gone but the food is decent. I'd compare this to a diner spot! All of the fan favorites on the menu including house made soups which are pretty good. read more

Our go to breakfast joint-always delicious-Super busy but staff members hustle!!! Eggs Benedict is banging!!!! read more

server was rude when I brought up my food allergy which is gluten. I ordered a classic salad. when I came out, the peppers were clearly old...the cut edges were completely dried out and curled. then when I was moving the poeced around, there waa a hidden piece of crouton! I clearly stated I have celiacs and to make sure No crutins amd to make sure it's not mixed in a shared bowl. one could be food poisoning of this clearly old salad. two they took an old salad and picked out the croutons to deliver to someone with celiacs. Any trace amounts of gluten is poison. read more

Breakfast was wonderful. The omelet was fluffy & delicious, as were the home fries potatoes. The lox was fresh & tasty. The tomatoes tasted fresh from the garden. The menu is vast and comprehensive. Must come back here. read more

Nudy's is not a cafe, it's a diner. Now that that's out of the way... I had the chance to dine here for brunch/lunch recently, and the most remarkable thing about the experience was how magically fast the food came out after we ordered. It felt like we blinked and our food was out in front of us - piping hot and delicious. We sat down at our table at 12:07 and were OUT of there by 1 pm. I wasn't trying to have such a speedy lunch, but that's just the way this joint operates. They want to turn the tables over on the weekends. The menu here is colossal. There's really no other way of describing it. Do you want dessert for breakfast? Peaches and cream with pancakes? French toasts of a thousand varieties? A shrimp entree, chicken fingers, or some crab Benedict? This place has it all, in typical diner fashion. If you're needing a no-frills restaurant with a huge menu that will be guaranteed to please all, Nudy's may be right for you! read more

Food was excellent and the service was great! I would def return for breakfast/brunch again.

Food is perfect for the price and service is great. Crab cake sandwich was a hit. We'll be back.

Nudy's is awesome!! I had the creamed chipped beef and my wife had the cinnamon roll French toast. Their coffee isn't great, typical diner coffee. But the staff is friendly and efficient and the food is amazing!! My wife says her French toast was dry and just ok. They have several Benedict's including: lobster, crab, etc. read more

Yuck! I had the California Benedict and my husband had an egg & cheese sandwich. My food was flavorless and lukewarm warm. This appears to be pre-prepared food with a poor attempt to reheat. Go elsewhere- this is not good! read more
