    We are up here from LA for wedding and found this amazing little breakfast diner. The place is cute with a country kitchen decor and vibe. Bright and clean. We were happy to see they have a separate Vegan menu of great sounding offerings. We ordered the Joe's Vegan Scramble. Sooo good. Loved it. The waiter, Yusef was amazing. Very friendly and attentive in a good way...not intrusive. The food and ambience and excellent. I would love to come back here before we leave to go home

    Ease of access: It's crazy easy to get to (and return to) from Westbound I-80 Food quality and appearance: it's a treat for the eyes and the palate. Service: Fast and friendly! Felt right at home. You can tell the staff genuinely likes working there. Ambiance: informal and welcoming. I had pancakes, eggs and bacon. My companion had ricotta avocado toast. Everything was perfect. I'm SO glad we stumbled upon this place, it's a hidden treasure coming home from the Sierras. So much better than that place that's named after a round wooden enclosure containing saltines!

    Little gem in Auburn! Staff super friendly and great customer service. We had breakfast and really liked what we had. The country gravy was tasty. The restaurant isn't very big but it's got that country feel. They are busy and keep the tables moving. If you are passing through like we were stop in!

    This is a consistently good meal, whether breakfast or lunch. Great omelets, burgers, sandwiches...fast & friendly. Super clean atmosphere! Give them a try!

    Our second time at Nancy's cafe and another great experience!! The owner and staff are so friendly, welcoming, and provide great service! It's a warm, clean, and enjoyable place to get breakfast and brunch. They have good portions and we loved our omelette! We can't wait to come back!

    This is a great local diner tucked away in a shopping center. The food was delicious and came to our table quickly. The owner stopped by to say hello and provide some recommendations. He was very welcoming and clearly takes great pride in the quality of the food they have on offer. If you are on the hunt for a mom and pop diner making high quality breakfast and lunch fare look no further.

    First time back in six years (don't stop in Auburn very often) but it was worth the wait. Food and service was just as awesome as last time. We ate outdoors as we had a dog with us...weather was great and they served us just as well as if we had been inside.

    Vegan burrito! Try it with the pepper plant sauce!

    Stopped here on our way back from spring break in the mountains. It was great! Our waiter, Yusuf, was so nice and I love that they had a separate vegan section on their menu. I got the vegan burrito and my fam got chocolate chip pancakes and a ranchero breakfast. Everyone was happy and loved it.

    Open-faced turkey sandwich and a homemade cornbeef hash and eggs breakfast. Turkey was moist and flavorful and the hash was savory and not from the can! On the side had cottage cheese and sourdough toast with an excellent fig jam. Shared a fluffy, hot, Belgian Waffle with some heated syrup and whipped butter topping. That ornate glass jar the heated syrup came in was a nice touch. Everything was tasty and pricey IMO. Friendly staff and one of the best Arnold Palmers I've had. It came out unsweetened with a real deal tart lemonade taste. I added a couple of Splendas and it was ON!!! I'd return for sure. Auburn eats!!! We were greeted when we arrived and had a thanks for comin in on the way out. Friendly staff for sure with good service!! Bathroom was clean too! Visit Nancy's in Auburn!

    Whoaaaaa if I could give a million stars I would!!!!! We stumbled upon Nancy's by taking a random exit to find food and switch drivers as we were coming home from Reno. We pulled into this non discript shopping center and saw the place. Went in and it was packed but we only had to wait a few minutes for a table. That's always a good sign. So cute inside with local painted art on the walls. The server was awesome, friendly and honest. I asked him which was better, the steak and eggs or the homemade corn beef and eggs and he said the corned beef. So that's what I ordered. My wife got the fish n chips and my daughter got the French toast. I also ordered a coke and it came in a huge mason jar. And it was STRONG. YES like we all know today's sodas are weak and almost like sugared up water. But Nancy's was that old school strong. The corned beef was AMAZING!!!!!!! House potatoes were awesome, perfect eggs and wonderful jelly / English muffin. Wife's fish n chips were AMAZING and the French toast was out of this world. The other patrons were super nice too. We'll be back in the future for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Awesome brunch!

    Great little breakfast and lunch place tucked away in a small strip mall. One table outside for doggos; They brought a clean bowl of cool water for Roxie dog to enjoy. Coffee was good. The orange juice was zippy and sparkly very refreshing after a long hike on the trail. Highly recommend the cranberry and orange pancakes with whip cream, veggie sausage, well done hashbrowns, scrambled eggs and toast. Service was friendly prompt, and I didn't see a frown in the place. Owner came out and we had a nice friendly chat. It's a great place to bring friends to grab some coffee and spend any extra time and dimes you have in this economy.

    Everyone in the reviews for this place is saying it, and it is absolutely true. The food is very…read moregood. It's easy to overlook those words: "very good", But do not gloss over them. Everything that my friends and I ordered was VERY GOOD. We all ordered a different type of fry on the side and they were all VERY GOOD. This is the kind of place where every thing on the menu is VERY GOOD. It is definitely not the healthiest place you could eat at because their focus is on the food being VERY GOOD. Nevertheless, even the healthy options like the mushroom ciabatta sandwich and the zucchini fries were VERY GOOD. Toasted to a perfect crisp, buttery, freaking delicious. The restaurant itself has a local charm. The ambiance is dictated by what the locals need, not the city people coming in to rent a lake house for the weekend (myself, my boyfriend, and his tech friends). It's refreshing to be somewhere that feels more like a genuine small town tavern than a flashy restaurant that covers itself in flowers and sculptures to be a photoshoot op for you and your girlfriends. (I have done this, no shame, so fun, see son and garden review). I wish I could go here over and over and try every menu. seriously, SO GOOD.

    Lunch yesterday after golf was good. I had the Bacon,…read moreavocado burger with a green salad & per usual blue cheese dressing. About noon when we arrived & the hostess had a couple tables reserved but sat us in front section closest to the sidewalk. Service was quick and I had a frosty Knee Deep Breaking Bud draft delivered stat! Extensive food and drink menu. Burgers were cooked med as requested quality meat,so tall with all the fixings a fork was required & probably half a ripe avo made this a full meal. Salad was a good starter with arugula & a mixture of course cut veggies with extra blue cheese dressing brought pronto. Fourth visit & only suggestion would be to upgrade the heavy worm, somewhat greasy floor (especially in the entrance). Popular place with live music & some really good house made potato chips , french dip, mushroom & regular cheese burges consumed by my fellow golfer's at the table. Will be back.

Mai is the owner and she provides very professional service as a bartender and waitress as well. The food always tastes very good and comes out hot and fast. You never have to wait long to be served. The restaurant has many TVs for watching sports and it's never noisy like traditional sports bars. It is in a convenient location on Lincoln Way just off of the Auburn-Ravine / Foresthill Road exit in the Raleys shopping center with lots of parking available. I recommend this place to everyone.

The bone-in wings were a great deal and huge, however, I felt like the wing was mostly batter rather than chicken. That was pretty much the only downside. The burgers are 1/2 lb each and are hefty, filling, and come with a nice portion of crispy, salty fries. They were an excellent choice! We also got the sampler platter which had a nice variety. Nothing was overly greasy and the tenders had a good chicken to batter ratio. Inside is spacious with lots of seating. It gives the vibes of an after work hangout spot. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Whether you're stopping during a roadtrip or have a wedding to attend in Auburn, this place will keep your belly full!

I ordered a vegetarian omlette with fruit, and received a huge plateful of food. Everything was fresh, especially the fruit which had a variety and not the usual sad melon. The omelet was stuffed with nicely cooked veggies and covered with more. My SO and brother also ordered omelets stuffed with various meats and crisp potatoes, also delicious. Coffee was average but plentiful. Alright why is this not a 5 star given the food is amazing? The service is terrible. I believe it "might" be the owner, but it is run by an angry, scowling rude woman who shouts orders to her staff. Ownership entitlement does not suit her well. I could not believe this person was even working, they were so disgruntled and gave the small restaurant a dark vibe. I truly felt bad for the young staff bustling around. I would eat here again because everything we ordered was delicious and the kitchen is clearly talented, but expect zero niceties or friendly banter. It definitely ruins the overall ambiance and I am not the first person to note this. Tip, order the potatoes they are season perfectly.
