    a blue windmill on a shelf
    Jen E.

    I had driven by this restaurant so many times throughout my years, but was never able to stop to try it. I really wanted to try it though. My friends and I were hiking the Holland Ravines and our parking spot was right near this restaurant, so I was pretty excited that we could stop after our hike for dinner. I love the outside, with its windmill. Walking in, there's a diner counter to your left, to your right is a wonderful display of ice cream, and a table with home-cooked fresh apple pies, etc. We were seated by a very nice waitress in a booth near a window. They did have some outdoor seating, but it was near the road and it was a chilly day. The menu is expansive and includes breakfast all day if that's your desire. They have a smoker in the front yard that they use on the weekends. We opted for that option. We ordered, and split, the barbecue chicken wrap and the pulled pork sandwich, one with chips and one with fries. We really enjoyed both. The chicken wrap was the perfect flavoring and I loved melty cheese inside. The pulled pork sandwich had plenty of meat and a perfectly toasted bun. Of course, I couldn't resist all the ice cream flavors or the apple pie that I watched being placed on the table from the oven! We split four different scoops of ice cream, all better than the last, and a slice of apple pie. The apple pie had a nice crumble on top, the apples were soft, which I prefer, and flavoring was perfect. The waitress didn't even have to warm it up because it was still warm from the oven. It reminded me of my Mom's Apple pie, so I bought a full pie to bring to my Dad for $17. I thought that was a fair price, considering the apple pie was very heavy by weight. My parents are enjoying the pie! I would definitely recommend that you stop here and check it out! So glad I finally got to! I'm not sure why their rating was so low.

    Finally stopped into the Zider Zee after at least a ten year hiatus. This was one of my late Grandpa's favorite places and we spent many Sunday mornings here on the way out to our cabin in Arcade. I don't know why I haven't been back the past few years, but I'm glad I broke that trend today. The interior is nicely freshened up since the last time I was there. I had the chicken barbecue melt which was delicious. Piping hot and saucy. I couldn't resist getting one of their homemade desserts and ended up trying a coconut cream pie which was also very good. Their pie and dessert list, along with their ice cream in the summer is enough to get me to go back! Thanks for the nice lunch while in Holland today.

    Geesh! As stated by another yelper. Service is slowwwww (I think I might of actually caught a cat nap, had a dream and woke up and I was still waiting) patience is a virtue right?!? The food was even longer to come out (I think I should've brought a paperback to read after my nap) wow! The food is good actually. The double Dutch dip was tasty and done perfect. Points for that. This place is small and can become packed and busy given the time of day so check the parking lot over before entering the premises. Ice cream is also available if your craving a desert. Also lots of homemade local pies from sweet creations in Holland NY. Ziders earned a star for food but service and delivery are brutal at best minus 2.

    Open face meatloaf sandwich with mashed potatoes, so good!

    I ended up in Holland on Sunday around lunch time and thanks to Zider Zee's being where I needed to be it was the perfect stop for both lunch and ice cream! This is a small town little diner type place filled with homestyle cooking, plenty of delicious looking specials, and it's own ice cream parlour right inside. The place itself is a good size with plenty of seats, very cozy, and filled with a friendly staff to go with it. The menu was pretty diverse offering tons of different breakfast and lunch options but after seeing they had an open face meatloaf sandwich with mashed potatoes, I knew I needed to try it. The food only took about 6-7 minutes to be served and boy was it good. The meatloaf was delicious and the mashed potatoes we're as good as mashed potatoes can be. Now I couldn't leave Zider Zee's without giving some of the ice cream a try so I decided to get a scoop of the mint chip and a scoop of the cookie dough and both get 2 big thumbs up from me. Overall, this place is an awesome little restaurant for a small town like Holland and offers both delicious food and delicious ice cream and I hope to come back some day!

    Busy cooktop!

    Ok you need to stop in here and give them a try! I read the other reviews and was a little hesitant but I know the food is good so I stopped in for breakfast/lunch today. We were greeted by a happy smiling waitress so right away I was feeling better about coming in. My husband & I grabbed 2 spots at the counter. I ordered the Big Buck platter and was able to substitute the plain pancakes for their cinnamon pecan ones at no charge! It did take a little longer for the good but the place was packed so it's understandable. I watched the owner cook everything the entire time we were there so it's not like they were sitting around talking. Great food like theirs is worth the wait! Their prices are very reasonable too. My mouth was watering as soon as I saw her loading up my plate! Everything was delicious. .scrambled eggs, home fries, sourdough toast, sausage & pancakes! Those cinnamon pecan pancakes were some of the best I have ever had! All the waitresses were very friendly and thanked us multiple times for coming in. Everyone has rough days so go by my review and give them a chance. You will be happy you did!!

    Really cute little spot for lunch! I ended up here on a Sunday. Their menu has so many things and they also had a list of specials. I went with a turkey sandwich from the specials list. The food was ready really quick and it was really good! We also couldn't say no to ice cream afterwards. I got strawberry patch ice cream and it was absolutely delicious.

    Classic "Big Buck" Platter.... YUM!!!!

They were hopping busy and were actually bringing the food out to the cars and mobile ordering spots. This was no simple feat since it was a grand 18 degrees outside. Burger and fries were fresh and hot. The location, while small is all windows and very bright. The restaurant was very clean. The person behind the counter greeted me with a big hello and was very pleasant and courteous. These reviews don't change much from location to location and I would not expect it to.

    To be brutally honest, I have been a loyal customer for a WHILE I almost come at least once a week…read moreno matter what time of the day and last night was probably the worst. We got to ordering which was great, got that set and done. Perfect, usual night, no. We then paid for the food, Cool. Which then at the take out window they have about a few cars waiting and she hands our food as usual and the drinks perfect. Get home and they forgot an entire 20 NUGGETS. So I drive my mad self over with my friend to explain what we haven't got and BROUGHT BACK everything. We pull up to the speaker and explain which then we pull up to the take out window and asks for my receipt. Okay, we search for a little then I had asked "what happens if we don't find the receipt?" Which, me as a loyal customer and would NEVER EVER LIE to any kind of establishment which I do work for a fast food restaurant so I FULLY understand food service. She had responded "we will have to see from there" SO YOU'RE TELLING ME I PAYED FOR MY FOOD WHICH I WILL NEVER GET. Uncalled for and I do understand the receipt aspect but what are we going to do, either I lose my money or I get my food. Never the less we found the receipt, which thank the Lord, I didn't wanna LOSE MY MONEY BECAUSE APPARENTLY I WOULD HAVE. Unbelievable. Sadly I must leave one star. Moral of the story, check the DANG BAGS BEFORE YOU HAND IT OUT! I do it, you are trained to do it, DO IT. And and a fast food worker, I fully understand rush hours and back to back cars, but no matter what, make sure the customer gets what they need and help them out. New update, just got food again and took about 20 minutes to get food and nuggets were put into box then thrown into bag, could have made the bag look nice

    It's a chain,one of the biggest in the world. When you say fast food this is who is implied. Well,…read morenow that I've stated the obvious. This location still has an indoor play area for young children. Indoor clean. The food is as expected in taste and size. Exceptional, where? Parking lot is in poor condition and rough. Interior dated compared to the remodeled franchises to the West. (my base reference) Service is slow, from an entitled staff. No anticipation with only slight adjustments or efforts visibly made. Just passing things on. Much talking between employees and not about getting things done. It sort of reminds me of congress and the excuse, "That's above my pay grade." So, where is the meet up tonight? It must have been shift change but we were five deep at the counter. If your working on your heart attack and you gotta have a big mac this is the place to go but do you really need it? Yet sometimes the answer is yes anyways. Ah breakfast with the clown or is that clowns.

    We stopped into Nellie's restaurant for a late breakfast/early lunch on a Monday afternoon…read more It was unusually quiet here today, so we were able to sit anywhere in the restaurant. Nellie's is a fixture in the rural town of Arcade New York. The theme of the restaurant is very rustic, with many taxidermy animals along the timbered ceiling. The service was extremely good today as we were greeted with beverages soon after seating ourselves. The menu is pretty extensive for a small place like Nellie's. They feature an extensive selection of juicy burgers, big wraps, full and 1/2 sub sandwiches, patty melts. The breakfast menu is very extensive and includes all the standard diner fare. Let me say that we have never had a bad meal here. The food is always on point! Today our little guys split an order of chicken fingers and fries. Plenty enough food for them today, as their appetites were rather small. The french fries here are what I would say are exquisite. I know they're only frozen french fries, but they're the ones that we prefer. They have a batter coating and they are cooked crispy on the outside light on the inside and also so delicious. The kid's chicken finger platter comes with two nice big chicken fingers, very tasty and extra crispy. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich with Swiss cheese and bacon with scrambled eggs. His sandwich came on a large hard roll and the plate included a big pile of home fries. I ordered a quarter pound bacon blue cheeseburger. Definitely more than a person could eat at one meal. The sandwich included lettuce, tomato, bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and onion, a very refreshing garnish for this delicious sandwich. We all took part of our food home, and will enjoy that later. The restaurant is from another era, and the decor is very rustic, it's clean whenever we visit. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, well-made, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Nellie's is sure to please.
