We stopped here for breakfast on the ride home. This hidden gem is located in the Paynter's Mill area of Milton. We arrived at the perfect time with no crowds, but it started to get busy while we were there and it's a very small restaurant . Of course we had to have strawberry mimosas which were fruity and refreshing. The menu has so many good things to choose from and is mostly made from scratch. We went with fried zucchini and chicken and waffles. The fried zucchini was cooked perfectly and the chicken and waffles were light and fluffy waffles with crispy and juicy chicken. We will definitely be back to try other items in the menu, but it is always hard not to get chicken and waffles every time when you find a place that makes a really great version. The Nook was a lucky find!! read more

Ordered California Turkey Club. Returned home this is what they gave me! How freaking rude are you to serve burnt bread! Also, menu did not state that it was smoked turkey. I would like a refund. read more

The best breakfast if you can find a seat. It's often crowded because it's a small restaurant. Please plan ahead. It's worth the little bit of a ride out of town. read more

We dined here after the lunch hour during the week. It was not busy so that was nice. It is a very small restaurant but nice. The service was veryfriendly but sometimes not as attentive as I would like when I needed a refill on my tea. The food was mixed, I had a western omelette and had to pay $2.50 for cheese and there was hardly any there and the side of potatoes was a small portion. Not a big fan of my. meal. My husband had the breakfast burrito and it was excellent. So overall I would say it depends on what you order on the quality of the food but worth a try. read more

Great breakfast, rye was barely toasted but everything else was incredible, would definitely recommend read more

The Nook - Dippy eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milton, Delaware

The good: Food was great. The bad: the wait time. The kitchen was understaffed. We waited an hour for our food and several tables were served before us that came 15 minutes after us. I spoke with the manager who did not seem to care. He stated there was nothing he could do: they were short staffed and could not hire enough workers, and what could he do? He could have offered us a discount, a free meal, or an actual apology instead of excuses but this did not happen. For the record, there are no help wanted signs outside this business or on its Facebook page, despite the fact their kitchen is likely understaffed. I tipped the waitress well as it was not her fault, but the management does not understand how to treat customers in the restaurant industry. read more

Service is always quick & pleasant. Great choices for meals and very well priced. Just a tad crowded- otherwise highly recommended.

We've been coming to The Nook on and off over the past few years. I have to say it's a quaint little place that try's really hard and it shows. We've eaten here at breakfast, lunch and dinner. We know what it is, it's good food, priced right. There's times when I don't feel like cooking so we stop in here. I have to say how consistent it is (feels like they make a lot to order), and consistency is a key with me and with any restaurant. Give them a try; it's not an over the top restaurant, it's your neighborhood spot and they know their regulars which is a nice feeling. read more

First visit- the food is delicious! Went for breakfast but able to order anything on the menu, anytime. The menu offers many dishes and they are well thought out. Its more of a European approach to food,fresh and scratch. All desserts are made here as well. Homey. The prices are more than fair.Has a genuine, friendly atmosphere. You don't feel like an observer, you are included.Saw a cozy new homemade afghan on a shelf for those who are chilled. My first visit is not my last. read more

I've been here a few times recently, 2 times for lunch and then today for breakfast. It's a really cute spot, small but nicely decorated with herbs and cherry tomatoes growing out front. All meals were great, first time I had a cheesesteak, it was delicious, I am a harsh critic as I'm from Philadelphia, this was really good with the proper roll.i ate it to fast to get a photo ! The next visit I had a blt, basic but tasty. Very good fries. Today we went for breakfast, the place was mobbed. We waited for about 20 minutes, and were then seated. Service was great, the staff was very efficient. The omelettes were great, perfectly cooked, but the sausage was amazing, not your normal frozen sausage. This is a terrific stop, with a great menu and service. read more

We'll portioned, simple menu and we'll made across the board. No reservations, first come first serve. Our waitress was attentive, and friendly. The food came out quickly and they kept our coffee refilled. The place is small but cozy and it's right off the main road not even 5 minutes. read more

The food was amazing with nice portions. The service was outstanding nice cozy atmosphere.

Super weird experience today. We entered as a party of four. They had open two-tops that could be pushed together, but we were told we had to wait for a larger table because there might be parties of two entering, and they wanted to be able to seat them. ???? Huh? So we said that we were willing to be seated as two parties of two near each other. AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT SEAT US. Why? So bizarre. We walked into a restaurant that had multiple empty tables, but they refused to seat us because they wanted to optimize seating for theoretical future seating? I loved the Nook, but this has totally changed my vibe. They won't care that I don't come back, but it makes me very sad that that they are so overt about their lack of caring about their customers. Shame. read more

The food is the highlight. Very well prepared with top notch ingredients. Nice staff, clean, and a good location. They really should give the place a general "spruce up" so the facility matches the food. The seating is mismatched and tired looking. Menus are beat up and bent. Lots of signs and menus are scotch taped to the windows and walls. Aopwer cord hung randomly. The "open" sign is duct taped to the window. A painting is hung in weird location. All small stuff that adds up to a messy look. Easy to fix. read more

We have enjoyed this place a few times now and it is very good! The menu is vast and the staff is friendly and efficient.

My husband and I went there on Saturday night before Mother's Day to have dinner and the dinner was delicious as usual. The service was fantastic but their bread pudding was absolutely out of this world. Try it. It's delicious. Best I've ever had. read more

Visiting town and came across this breakfast place. It's a small cozy place. Has Excellent food, excellent coffee, great service.

We ordered takeout and when we picked up we were promptly greeted. We ordered two Milton burritos, one with bacon and the other with scrapple, and both were excellent! Additionally the eggs Florentine were a hit. All ordered with sides of breakfast potatoes which were seasoned perfectly. We'll be back! read more

Tried breakfast here and it was very good. The breakfast was served on and flat wooden platter.Definitely something different.

Stopped in when traveling from Rehoboth Beach back to Pittsburgh. The poor owner was on her own and the dining room was completely full. She did an amazing job trying to keep up with everyone's drinks. The food was delicious! The wait was worth it! read more

Great Food and all day Breakfast Items Crepes Love the Jambalaya Entree and the Banana Split special

It's a cozy little place with nice service. The coffee was delicious as was the fruit crepes. I got Florentine eggs Benedict and the egg yolks were over cooked, they should be runny. Everything else we got was prepared very well. read more

We heard about the customer confrontation and their being asked to leave the restaurant. This behavior should not ever be tolerated by a business. We support them as part of our Milton family. Rude people are not welcome in Milton..... Our lunch was outstanding, served promptly, and reasonably priced. Try this spotless little gem just off the Coastal Hiway in Milton on Cave Neck Rd. We WILL go back to explore more of their extensive menue.. read more

We are from Michigan and every time we visit our son in Delaware we have to go to The Nook. Great food, service and atmosphere.

Tasty menu items. Small place, tight quarters. Friendly waitstaff. Avocado toast is a winner.

Absolutely no structure. Came in with 4 adults and 1 child. Waited for 10mins for someone to even look at us. Went and spoke to a woman behind the bar and she could not have shot an uglier look. They told us they were cleaning up a table and they would have us seated shortly. Then a group of 7 came in that was no where in site and did not offer a reservation name. They were granted the table because they were "waiting for a long time" yet were nowhere to be seen for the 20mins we were there. All we got was a sorry. So we left and couldn't believe how unorganized it was. Absolutely unbelievable read more
