It's a convenient spot for Leisure World residents, and the service is great, BUT the food is just...meh. Plus the prices are way above what they should be be for this kind of place. Drive up to Olney and brunch at Scratch Kitchen, it's worth the extra ten minutes! read more

Talk about a rip off! I was doing the egg diet. I asked them for 4 eggs cooked in a little butter instead of oil. I feel ripped off ... $10 for 4 eggs! Then an additional $2.00 to cook my eggs in a little butter instead of oil. $3.50 for iced tea. You have 2 eggs, 3 pancakes, home fries, bacon for $12.99. Also I paid with my debit card ... it doesn't cost 3%. I won't be back ... what a shame for a place I've been to many of times. Thanks for shoving up my ass read more

Nancy's Kitchen - Diners Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

This is a diner that is not very expensive. Breakfast served all day. Great for the money and when I feel like a waffle. Service was fine for this type of establishment read more

If you are looking for a place that has museum quality artwork, this is not your place. If you are looking for a place that serves one of a kind dishes and drinks, you will be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a no frills place (aka diner style) that serves good basic food at a reasonable price, this is a place for you. The portions are not huge but they are filling. Most of the patrons seem to be from Leisure World and the surrounding area and they are known and welcomed by the staff - think Cheers. The staff are attentive to your needs. The Mrs. and I went in for breakfast. She had the custom omelet (ham, cheddar cheese, onions and peppers), while I had the Western Omelet. Both came with home-fries and toast (wheat or white). Both were properly cooked and tasty. We also had coffee, which was a bit pricey ($4) but you could drink as much as your wanted. We paid by cash, as to avoid the 3% card fee. Overall, a good place if you are looking for a good solid meal. read more

I was randomly in the area and decided to meet a friend for a quick bite. I happened to stumble upon Nancy's. It's pretty small inside and I was told to sit anywhere. It's a no frills type of place. I was greeted immediately and ordered a coffee while I waited for my friend to arrive. To eat, I got the Reuben melt and my friend got the patty melt. We both really enjoyed our meals. The melts came with fries and a pickle. It was exactly what you'd want from a diner type place. They advertise many pies so we decided to share one for dessert. We got the lemon meringue. It was good but a little too sweet. Overall, we enjoyed everything and was surprised with how affordable it all was. I'd definitely stop by again if in the area. read more

Nancy's Kitchen - Reuben Super Melt Lunch - Diners Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

The patty melt and Ruben were delicious. Evening was cooked to perfection. The peach pie was incredible! Highly recommend this place!

Been coming here for years. Service is great despite some difficult customers. Food always made to order.

The food is just barely what is required. No more. You have to ask for a pickle. Rye bread is extra. Cool and impersonal service. Any request elicits a grumble. I wouldn't mind but when a request is ignored you ask yourself "Why am I coming here?". Well the answer for me is convenience. read more

This restaurant has been in business for years, and it used to be good. However, I think it was sold at some point and has new owners. I've only been there twice in the past couple years, but both times it was disappointing. My most recent visit was about a month ago. I found the food to be overpriced, and mediocre. The service was fair, but nothing to write home about. I doubt that I will return. read more

This restaurant is a Leisure World neighborhood institution. Large portions for a reasonable price. Service was good. I was at a business lunch and we were not rushed. As to the quality of the food it is good. The reason I gave this place 3 stars is that it is a typical diner. Nothing special. Also the bathroom was flooded and there seemed to be no rush to clean it up If you are looking for a generous portion and a reasonable price and amenities mean little to you, you will be happy here read more

WOW, talk about snooty. Nicks is way better and so is IHOP!! Went in with a friend for breakfast and asked if they had chipped beef and the waiter looked at me like I was speaking Chinese and said "Not any more, no one orders that!" Just as good because last time I was here 4 or 5 years ago it was so salty I could not eat it and when I asked if it was Stouffers, had their look and taste they got really huffy and said we made that. So much for polite waiters. I asked if they were now charging 3% to use a credit card and they said 'Yeah." I looked at my friend and said lets go eat somewhere else that is not so rude and penny pinching! We left never to go back!! By the way the grits at the next table were really old or packaged because the were not white but gray in color. Never going back there to eat. read more

I wanted to try a local spot for breakfast instead of one of the national chains. The space is quaint and you seat yourself. There were two servers who were very nice. The food was ok. I wouldn't get the French toast again (a bit bland), but my dining companion enjoyed their waffle. I would go here if I was in the area and wanted a quick bite, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to go here. Perhaps lunch is better. read more

I like eating here but service could be faster. It takes a long time to get your check. Food is decent and cooked to order. This place is best for breakfast. They do charge extra to use your credit cards. read more

Nancy's Kitchen - Slice of bread with Corned Beef - Diners Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

It's been awhile since we have been here. It was a quiet day here. The service was wonderful. The food was delicious. I got the good old stand by of veggie omelet and crispy home fries. The omelet was perfectly cooked and home fries were actually crispy. I asked for crispy home fries at a lot of places but always disappointed but not here. I will definitely return soon. read more

Nancy's Kitchen - Vegetable omelet with crispy home fries - Diners Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Love that it opens at 7AM. Our waiter John was on the ball. Fast, efficient and friendly. The food was mediocre. My grits were the worst I've ever had. Watery and not tasty. The omelette was okay but not memorable. The wheat toast was perfectly done and an ample amount of jelly packs and butter were provided. The music was barely audible over one customer who spoke at his loudest voice the entire time. He was yelling about finding religion. It was neither the place nor the time and he was obviously not aware of his surroundings. It became louder and louder until I asked John if wouldn't mind nicely asking the loud customer to be quieter. There is ample parking, however there are two doors to open, one after the other, to enter Nancy's place so it would be practically impossible for a wheelchair bound person to enter without multiple people holding doors open and helping them. Overall, a good place with large windows and views that opens early and has comfortable seating with great staff. John was great about refilling the coffee read more

I have tried Nancy's Kitchen several times. First time was for a take out dinner. Poorly prepared and some items were missing. Next time was for lunch. The veggie sandwich was cold, over cooked and terrible. Sent it back and ended up with the waffle. It was okay. The interior was bland and not appealing and needed an update. Some else needs to open a good bistro. read more

Great food and good service. Wish they had longer dinner hours on Friday and Saturday

Hair embedded in my sandwich--yuck!!! Need I say more? Apparently, the staff does not appreciate measures to keep foreign and unsanitary objects out of the food they serve. Please refer to photo. read more

Nancy's was everything I hoped for in a diner. I have no idea what all of the 1 and 2 start reviews are about. The coffee was hot and delicious and the creamers are real half and half versus non-dairy coffee whitener. The omelet was made with fresh ingredients and was hot and delicious. The home fries were extra crispy just like I ordered and yummy. My friend had the Eggs Dillon which was scrumptious. The wait staff was prompt, friendly, and delivered our order quickly!! If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back!! read more

Overpriced and not fresh. Ordered corned beef hash (not fully cooked) with eggs and home fries. My girl had a lox bagel, bagel looked like from Shoppers with no flavor on salmon, needless to say the onion had the outer skin read more

No frills breakfast place. My wife loves this place because they make chocolate chip pancakes but I think their food is fair. I got the breakfast sandwich (egg bacon on english muffin) and a side of potato pancakes that cake wayyyy too overdone. The food comes out very plain. Be prepared to season your food with salt, ketchup hot sauce or whatever you're into. read more

A mostly unpleasant experience. We ordered on UberEats for pickup, arrived at the time on the order, and the staff seemed to have no idea what we were talking about. They looked around and found our order and started making it. The decor is what you'd expect from a small, old timey diner: ugly and weirdly laid out with an entire wall of mirrors. A $4.50 side order of bacon was three strips. We pulled the little foil package out of the bag thinking it was a random extra pickle. That alone killed it for me. My mom refused to finish her chicken cheesesteak and said it "tastes the way a Harbor Freight smells." The fries were undercooked and flavorless. The grilled tomato ham and cheese had a single slice of deli ham but was otherwise inoffensive. Chocolate chip pancakes and blueberry pancakes were both pretty good. A little dense and not very fluffy, and definitely not better than you'd be able to make yourself at home, but I wasn't unhappy with them. We will absolutely not be going again. The pancakes were good but not good enough that it would be worth more money to not just make some Bisquick yourself. Lesson learned - I thought maybe the other reviews just went in expecting something that this place isn't, but even managing your expectations for a dumpy little diner will probably leave you disappointed. read more

The food is excellent, the employees are such nice people, the service is terrific and the prices are very reasonable.

When we asked to substitute cole slaw for French fries, the answer was a hard no, even though on their non-specialty sandwiches, that was an option. Weird and rude. Bummer because the French fries were gross, tasted as if the oil had not been changed for a week, unfortunately the ketchup compounded the misery as it was clearly of the lowest quality and tasted as it if had long passed its prime. The sandwiches were both 5's out of 10. Definitely would not go back for them again. The restaurant was passably clean and the staff were mostly courteous. But the underlying sensation was more of being an inconvenience to them rather than a valued customer, and getting us out the door was the ultimate objective. Won't be going back and cannot recommend. read more

Very basic fare. Food was okay. The portion of lox for the bagel & lox was *very* meager. Western omelette was just okay, nothing special. Service was *slow* in spite of the reduced number of customers due to COVID. Could have been a lot more friendly as well. read more

I have to say it was the most anemic BLT I've ever had and chewy too!!! The service was good, but I was disappointed in the food!

This place is trash. I walk inside st 7:30 and the Indian employee is like we are closed and we don't sell Spanish food??? I'm not Spanish and I didn't even ask for and Spanish food. I look around and it seems to be a kitchen for Senior living "Whites Only" served here establishment! It's 2017 and there's still places like this around! Unacceptable in 2017! read more

Ordered matzo ball soup... A small came out... Where's the matzo balls..? No bread included.. water with ice after I ate my soup.. asked 3 times . The soup tasted like it came from a can.. My friend who. Lives at Leisure World.. stated.. no we don't go there...after the fact. You couldn't get over the flu or cold with this soup... No tip..to the boys... Just not the same.... when it was owned by a different family. Tip... Take alot of $$$ for the dinners! read more

I read the reviews, it was right down the street from me, and I do like to support the local businesses. That's where it begins and that's where it ends! Although the surroundings were clean and friendly looking, the meal was totally unacceptable! To charge $11.99 for an omelette that was not even made with three eggs, tasted like rubber, put on a small salad plate, with 2 Tablespoons of home fries, and cold wheat toast, is not a place where I will go back. I sent the toast back because it was ice cold and not crispy, and it came back warm and still not crispy. This is very disappointing as I thought I found my new breakfast space. The people of leisure World love this restaurant as they were enjoying their breakfast while I was not enjoying mine. Good luck Nancy's kitchen. I will not return. read more

Nice and first experience. Will be back someday when I'm in this area again. French toast was good.

The matza ball was small ( as large as a golf ball) and the soup a little bland! One should eat the Matza ball soup at Max's! So big and hearty! Sad they are closing shop end of this month! Made the mistake of ordering an omelette with lox and onions! Couldn't taste the lox only the onions and the omelette was a little dry! Ordered tea, which was a Lipton tea bag and that was ok! The bill was $24 and change! I didn't think it was worth it! I can make a tastier omelette and Matza ball soup! But one lives and learns! The wait staff was good though! Would I go back? I don't think so! read more

Don't waste your time or money. I wanted to order a salad, but no vinaigrette dressing so I ordered the chicken noodle and matzo ball soup. I counted 2 minuscule pieces of chicken, 1 large matzo ball, 3 carrot pieces and a few diced onion pieces. Campbells soup is better. My hubby ordered a steak and cheese which was basically 1 chopped up SteakUm. Where's the beef?!?! But he did get a "bonus" with his "sub"! A long piece of string. Lucky him. When we showed the waiter, he claimed it was provolone cheese, we know cheese, and it was not cheese. When you pull cheese out your mouth it feels different than a piece of a string. They did issue a credit for the soup. read more

Chicken is tasteless, broccoli is soggy, mashed potatoes are like silicon - only five people here but it took about half hour or more to get the food. Not worth the money read more

We headed to a late breakfast/early lunch here on a whim. We walked in and we were easily the youngest people by about 20 years, but somehow that made the ambiance for me. All of the older people were friendly and seemed happy- one stood up on her way out and wished everyone a happy and healthy 2018 and the whole diner cheered- and the waiters appeared to know (and hug) many of the customers. The service was slow but the waiters were polite. We ordered two breakfast specials on the chalkboard- the sausage skillet and the new year's omelet- and we both thought the food was decent if a bit overprice. Since we live close, we would probably be back if we were looking for a diner-like breakfast and didn't feel like driving into Rockville or elsewhere. read more

The waiter was nice but the food was just okay. Not bad but not good. I don't see myself going back.

Worst service and cold food. No redeeming qualities. Waited 10 minutes for waitress to notice us and 30 minutes for eggs and toast when only 6 tables occupied. NEVER going back. read more

charges for small extras like 2 lemons for iced tea. Only good thing to say about it is it is convenient

We were passing by and wanted breakfast so popped in here. Decent omelet. Coffee. Home fries. Even lox with eggs. But the staff here knows it's clientele and it's not us. No water. No refill on coffee. Second class treatment. The regulars getting gold treatment. That's okay for them. But we won't go back. The good was decent but not great. So not worth it. read more
