We love this restaurant with a huge menu. Also serves breakfast if you want at dinner time too! Soup is sooo good! Waitresses are so good, and friendly! But, if you ever want food catered or want to have a private party in their private room this is the place to go! We had a party there today and everything was amazing. Food was really good and everyone loved it! Can't recommend this place enough! Check them out!! read more

Excellent food & service. The fish fry was absolutely delicious and so was the soup. There was so much food that I could not finish eat everything!!! read more

This was a pick up order. The potato pancakes were big, tasted really great, would definitely order again. Bacon was crisp as asked for. The corn beef hash was tasty & they added lots of onions as requested, but the portion was very disappointing, would have had more out of can, it was also a bit on the greasy side. I wish there had been more of it to eat though. read more

This is my go-to post-night-out diner, which I've been frequenting for years. That being said, I don't know why it only has 2.5 stars? It's a diner, not a fancy restaurant. You definitely get your bang for your buck here, and the food is good. Last Saturday, a friend and I came in around 10:30 and were seated promptly. You know how after a night out, your body craves something of substance? Well, I was in need of some warm, filling homefries, and what I got was even better. Their breakfast potatoes are moist and flavorful--I didn't know I preferred actual potatoes over homefries until now. These babies were served with a delicious country fried steak smothered in gravy, over-easy eggs, and toast. You could tell that the steak was high quality from its flavor and texture, and it had a crisp breading on it. All 4 of these things complemented each other nicely, and along with some OJ and coffee, I was a happy camper. My friend got the southwest omelette, which she enjoyed. I do believe this place is highly underrated. It may be simple, but it is yummy. read more

My family used to eat here a lot and I remember it being really fun and delicious. When I came back to it today, it was very different. It was very dirty - just completely run down and actually dirty. The menu had sticky globs of food all over it! The seat on my booth had about a 5 inch round hole in it. The salad I ordered had peppers so spoiled on it that I could just hear Gordon Ramsey screaming "how could you serve that to anybody?!" The one redeeming part of the experience was the toast that came with my omelette was absolutely delicious! read more

This is a nice family restaurant that I used to go to with my mom and daughter 25 years ago! We enjoyed our meals then and it's still good today. I hadn't been there since I moved back. The food was great and our waitress was fabulous! Still the nutcrackers around too. Felt so comfortable. I had leftover pork roast and stuffing to bring home. It was tender and the gravy was very good. I also had a nice salad that I chose to bring home for later. My friend had the BLT with chips which she enjoyed. The crab bisque was thick and rich with a lot of pieces of crabmeat. It was very tasty. Now I'm back I Webster I will be coming here more often! read more

This place reminds of bygone days diners type restaurant. Service was good and lentil soup was refreshingly tasty you do not find that at many places who serve that. My associate ordered Greek salad see picture which was really mouthwatering good. My sandwich was ok . My Tabasco addition makes it spicy, It was a quite afternoon at 1 pm so we had good business meeting. read more

Read a review about how good the Patty melt was. One of my favorites. I met a friend there and we were catching up, so I didn't scour the menu all that well. When I asked the waitress if they still served Patty melts because I didn't see it on the menu, she said "you must not have looked too hard". What I got was a hamburger, if you could call it that, with American cheese and a few sautéed onions on a tiny bun, not on grilled rye bread as it's supposed to be. I think they dug the hamburger, if you could call it that, out of the bottom of the freezer after it had been run over by an 18 wheeler a few times. Worst hamburger I've ever had (not exaggerating) and I've had a few in my 64 years. Fries were pretty good. Lousy service by a waitress that seemed bothered we were there. And there was only one other party in the whole restaurant when we went in the mid afternoon. Lousy hamburger. We agreed we will never, ever go back. Don't waste your time or money. Too many good choices a stones throw away. I usually chalk up a bad experience as just that, forget about it and move on, but this was so bad, I felt had to get on the Yelp app and warn others. read more

my boyfriend and i tried this place out because our usual sunday spot was closed early for christmas. our waitress was nice but she was by herself so was flustered and forgot some things. i ordered the mediterranean panini and my boyfriend ordered pancakes and bacon. it took almost an hour to get our food and i was not pleased with mine for the amount of time waiting to get it. the panini was average and didn't come out with the side of fries so i was waiting over 10 minutes for them and they had no flavor. my boyfriend said the pancakes were good but everything else was just average. bathroom in main dining room is not very clean and smells of straight sewage. really wanted this place to be our new spot but was pretty disappointed:( read more

I like to just drink coffee and read my paper before I order, but, she acted offended when I said that and then thought the waitresses hardly spoke after taking my order. Coffee refills were slow coming and one was over-poured spilling to the table. I used my only napkin as a coaster. My egg omelette was placed on the table without a word! Didn't ask if I needed anything else (hot sauce, jelly, etc. ) and had to ask for more napkins which were also placed on the table without a word. Asking for a paid receipt, I looked at it in my vehicle and it wasn't even for my order! It wasn't worth walking back inside for the correct one. I won't come back to this unfriendly business! read more

The food was amazing and omg the portions are huge! server was so sweet and efficient and the restaurant itself was immaculate. I will definitely be coming back to this place again and again!!! read more

I highly recommend you to try this resturant. The food is very good from breakfast to dinners. They have the best fish frys in town. With their dinner meals you get a salad bar, rolls, soup and a side all for a reasonable price. I've been going for years. More recently probably 2 -4 times a month. Staff is very pleasant. If you have an issue it is resolved immediately. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. I must know 20 people that attend this restaurant. Great family place read more

This spot is a family favorite...Great diner fare and reasonable prices...The other day I took my father out for our Sunday lunch date and we once again found ourselves at the Nutcracker, here's the story...I ordered a turkey club with fries and dad ordered a shrimp salad...The club was loaded with sliced fresh turkey and a plate full of fries that were cooked to perfection...Dad's shrimp salad was off the hook with what I think was at or around 8-10 JUMBO shrimp...No kidding these shrimp were massive in size and dad said they were delicious in every way...They sure looked good to me...All in all it was yet another fine meal at the Nutcracker...The service was top notch as well...Plenty of parking onsite...Give them a try and if you get there for breakfast or brunch get ready for some serious chow...Cheers read more

I'm a huge fan of this place. Allot of seating, the menu choices you'd expect from a Greek diner and service too :) some great, some not so great but hey that's part of the appeal - ya never know! This is perfect for anytime of day, anything you're in the mood for. Breakfast for dinner? No problem! Seafood at a diner? Go for it. It's all good. Never had anything below my expectations and have been surprised in good ways as well. The Gyro omelette is amazing, eggs benny good, hot dinners..oh yes. Lamb shanks...yes please! Fast, simple and hot...I'll be back again and again. read more

We went for lunch here, and were very disappointed. When we arrived, there were maybe 6 tables sat all together. Took extended time for someone to come over. We then were given dirty silverware, and the ledges next to us were dusty and dirty. Adults at the table had breakfast, and child had spaghetti which was a pretty good size portion. With how little customers were present, it was disappointing how long it took for the server to come back to the table throughout our visit. read more

The food was fantastic! The service couldn't have been any better! They were very consistent and kind. Definitely would come back again. And I love the nutcracker decorations!! The environment was spectacular! The only downside was no silverware or napkins were/was there when we ordered our drinks. Other than that, a great experience! read more

Showed up to get food and the chef was swearing and screaming at the delivery peoplefor no reason trying to start a fight a little odd and the food was garbage 1 out of 10. read more

Had dinner here a few times before realizing just how filthy this place is. Food was actually pretty good but it's just not clean enough that I'll ever go back. read more

I had breakfast here for the first time last week and enjoyed it. Our waitress came and asked if we wanted a beverage within a minute and was back in no time with our beverages. We ordered breakfast and that only took about 5-7 minutes to prepare. I ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, sausages, and Greek toast... Our waitress stopped by very often to ask if we needed refills on our drinks several times, and I was very happy with the taste of my coffee..I think I'm pretty fussy about that. The prices were great, and the service as well as the food was really good. We will be back again ! read more

Extensive menu. Breakfast menu served all day. Attentive server. Went here on a Saturday mid afternoon. Lots of booths for seating. Nice no frills family restaurant. read more

My latest adventure to this restaurant was only because I wanted to stay close to home, I was out of choices, and I wanted some home style food. I ordered a turkey dinner with all the trimmings and got home to find out that they gave me a roast beef dinner. The roast beef was old and tough to chew. I did not finish it. The salad bar here is atrocious. All the lettuce was water logged and most of the other items on the bar were not fresh. Especially the mac salad. I threw it out as soon as I got home. I will never go back to this restaurant again and I suggest that you don't either. It really is disappointing. read more

Do you ever walk into a place of business and just feel like you're causing them a huge inconvenience just by your mere presence? that's how i felt when i was here. -crappy, rude server who seemed to be a real big rush, right off the bat. -sup par lukewarm soup -pretty standard sandwich. not bad, not great. -Decent prices, no complaints there. I don't need an ass kissing when i go to a diner, but please at least ACT like you care even the slightest bit. read more

This was our first visit and with the few reviews (& pretty negative at that) we were a bit hesitant. With few family spot options open after 6pm Sunday in the area we gave them a shot. Our waitress hustled, got our order right, and even with a steak well done, the food came very quickly. The menu is large and had a something for all our ages & tastes. One nice thing was the dinner comes with soup & salad bar... And you get your choice of soup (not just on the bar). I might end up addicted to the crab bisque, my wife isn't as in to spices, so found her lentil soup a bit spicy for her taste. The salad bar is small, but nice for free and the cole slaw & mac salad were very good. Portions are huge, so we ended up with 3 boxes & too full for dessert. My 8 year old didn't want me to end without saying his strawberry milkshake was excellent. They have space and parking for lots of folks, so I bet you'd rarely have trouble getting in. One nice thing I saw was a waitress handle a food complaint well and the customer seemed happy at the end. I also liked seeing her just hanging, chatting with people (it was getting late/slow)... And it felt like a real hometown diner. We'll be back & consider the Nutcracker when the parents are in town. read more

Its a diner- but this diner has cold food, waitresses that really couldnt care less and the prices are on pair with any chain or other local restaurant. Pass. read more

We come here for breakfast. The banana nut pancakes are good and the service is excellent. They don't have real maple syrup so you will have to bring your own. They have recently started to allow in house dining so every other table is open for customer seating. I do recommend this place for breakfast. read more

Just really bad food. Ingredients old, restaurant filthy and staff uncaring. I found no redeeming qualities to this place and there are so many alternatives in the area I will most likely never return. read more

Horrible customer service that trumps the average diner food for this review... our office orders on the regular from here (salads, omlettes, soups, etc.), and everytime, our order is wrong somewhere. When we call to give feedback, we get hung up on, even by managers whom we request to speak with. Disrespectful, rude, lack of interest, now we won't order from here because we are afraid we will have spit in our food...THAT kind of service. read more

Loving the panini's on the menu and an all-time classic on a Friday Night: Fish Fry! Friday nights are definitely busier here, but it's worth the short wait! Staff super friendly and accommodating when we've stopped in Friday, Saturday, and Sunday's! We'll be back soon! :) read more

If you are old and senile please go here, otherwise go to Basil. There really aren't any good restaurants in webster for some reason but this one is awful. Our waitress was nice, but heated our dessert in a dirty microwave which made it taste like cardboard, and the food reminded me of high school lunch. The food was cheaply made, and you will freeze if you sit by a window. read more

Terrible....didn't order..went to sit down and there was about 30 ants crawling around in a pile on the table!

Simply the best Diner in Webster..been in this ideal location for years and has been remodeled and brought up to date with each coming year. Menus updated frequently, good variety, good seating, and friendly waitresses. Very welcoming environment with nice decorations and seasonal decor done by the owners daughter Irene, it's so innovative and warming! I greatly recommend this Webster Family Diner, you won't regret it! read more

The Nutcracker - Outside of one side of the Diner...amazing food. - Diners Near Me - Webster, New York

Great fish fry and soups. But more attention should be paid to window sills and windows (weekly cleaning or as needed). If it were not for the windows/window sills, I would give them 4 stars. read more

Waitress staff is great, owner not so much. Anything that gets sent back gets you a personal rebuke from him. Food is typical diner fare, prices ok , but if you are not happy with your meal, preoare for the owner to argue with you that his food is never to be questioned. Can't be bothered with that attitude. Too many other places for in Webster much better. read more

I have eaten here several times and the food is good been a favorite after Church breakfast place to go with my 84 year old mother. That said I will never go back after the attitude given my mother after waiting for over 10 minutes just to cash out. Kim who was very rude could have just told her sorry we are very busy but had to continue to insult my mother. I understand busy however they should be glad to be doing so well. Many businesses have gone under during this Covid time. How will your attitude be when you are able to operate at full capacity again? I pray you continue to do well and Kim I will be praying for you God Bless. I hope when you are 84 people treat you better than you treated my mother today! read more

Always good diner food. Love the breakfast. The staff is very good and efficient. The building in kept in great shape. I will stop back again soon. read more

We won't be going back..stopped there for a late lunch on a Sunday and this place doesn't feel or smell very clean. The food was below average....my Greek salad was not fresh and the chili tasted old and slightly burnt. My wife's eggs were OK....but the bacon also tasted old and a little off. Additionally, the staff was openly arguing with one another very loudly which made for an uncomfortable dining experience. Below average food, poor service in an environment that feels VERY dirty. No compelling reason to eat here. ..especially with all the other choices in the area. read more

The service here was horrible, the server was rude and didn't even say hello. The bathroom is all out of sorts and filthy. I would not recommend this for brunch. read more

Breakfast for the 3rd time. Still sucks. One side of my sausage was raw, opposite side burnt. How does that happen? Hash browns seemed as tho they had been setting out all morning. And, apparently eggs medium was too difficult an order, as they came rare. Had s mouthful of food when waitress asked, on the fly, how's everything. I won't go back. read more

I've gone here many, many times and it's actually my favorite diner in Webster. The food prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food is quite good too. They've recently updated the outside of their building and have new menus too, so if you haven't been there in a while, I'd recommend you paying it a visit. My favorite meal is the sky burger. I like how it's served on a quality bun (a lot of diners just put their burgers on the cheapest buns available). As an added bonus, the fries are thicker (steak fries), which I absolutely love! read more
