Yelp.com Review - by Peter D.

5.0 of 5 stars. Good food, great price5.50 for a big home cooked plate dinner and .50 for a pop isn't bad any way you look at it. I'm a big fan of the Chicken and noodles. Mornings are pretty crazy, so be prepared to...

Nancy's will be closing the end of May 2009

It will be missed! Nancy's was a place for a good, hot lunch at a reasonable price. I never got to try the breakfast myself... but the $5 Noodle dish was amazing!

Yelp.com Review - by Adrienne I.

5.0 of 5 stars. Family run. No nonsense. Cash only. Menu on the wall. Coffee 50 cents. My favorite post haircut food. Checkout lucky 13 then grab some grub.

3.0 of 5 stars. A couple weeks ago, Jay, Cameron and I met up at Nancy's in Clintonville. If you're from Columbus, there's a good chance you're already familiar with the place, at least in name. Officially known as...

Yelp.com Review - by RiCH K.

5.0 of 5 stars. I remember the first time I brought my folks here while they were visiting OSU one time. We walked in and my Dad just started complaining how dirty the place was (I had pre-warned him that if he...

Yelp.com Review - by Randy S.

5.0 of 5 stars. Now, don't get me wrong. Nancy's Home Cooking in Clintonville is by no means fine dining. What is it then? It's soul-stirring, homemade comfort food. And quite frankly I rather eat there than anywhere...

Slop on a plate not worth the wait.

The food isn't bad, but its not worth the trouble. No matter what time you go, expect to wait. Take it from someone who's actually lived behind this place, parking is pretty much nonexistent. Do not park in...

Yelp.com Review - by Kenley M.

3.0 of 5 stars. Nancy's is a family-run diner. They have one or two entrees available for dinner daily, like chicken and noodles or pot roast. Breakfast is a more conventional menu: eggs, bacon, potatoes, pancakes,...

5.0 of 5 stars. There's a reason that you sometimes have to stand in a line that stretches down the street to eat here. This is the type of place that my grandmother would run. The menu reads "lunch and dinner:...

The closest thing to home and only $5

I was a little skeptical to try Nancy's, not because I thought the food wasn't good, but because it's always so busy. A bit of advice: try it in the summer when OSU is on break. Trust me, the food will be just...

Yelp.com Review - by Max T.

4.0 of 5 stars. Nancy's is your classic "greasy spoon" mom & pop style home cooking diner. Breakfasts are cheap & tasty, with a good selection of short-order grill offerings. Lunches are cheap & fast, with the vast...

What a joint!

My wife and I tried this little jem for breakfast the other morning and found it to be everything we'd imagined. The atmosphere, the freindly staff, and the great grub makes this place one to come back to. If...

Best breakfast in town!

Great breakfast!! The pancakes make your mouth water, the eggs are soft and fluffy, the bacon is so crisp. You will wait awhile so come with friends to make the time pass. The food is a really good price too!

The service was wonderful! However, you cannot dine at Nancy's if you like to chat after dinner because space is limited so you have to leave once you are finished. The food is delicious and at lunch time all...

Garbage Omelette RULES !!!

If you haven't try the garbage omelette I say you should go for it. It's the best omelette in town. You can also customize your meal , it doesnt have to be exactly like what the menu offers.

Three words: Chicken Noodles, Thursday

Don't be put off by the sort of gruff man who dishes up the food and works the grill. Nancy's only cooks one thing per day, and if you only go there once, go on Thursday for dinner. You can't go wrong with...
