Truly fabulous homemade food here! We had time for lunch to grab in between adventures at The Canyons Adventure Park down the road, and we're so glad we did! The best Grilled Chicken Flatbread and Philly beef cheese sandwich probably ever, and we travel a bit. So incredibly delicious with the best homemade coleslaw like my late mom would make :)Wish we had a cooler to take home Nancy's pie from here as I'm sure it's mouthwatering. Definitely recommend with their friendly service and fantastic homemade local food. Cash only so get you some.Wish we could visit weekly as this place is that good!

hands down BEST breakfast we've had in long time. I found them by looking for new breakfast places to check out. the location is in a tiny unassuming plaza, but it's the cutest hole in the wall gem you could ever wish for. the decor is perfect, think vintage coke cola type design. super clean. their pies are made fresh and they offer the coke from Mexico which has the sugar cane vs fructose. now our food. I had the smoked sausage. it's huge piece of that amazing favor kettle type with the best smashed and crispy potatoes and the absolute best flavor eggs ever. I opted for 2 small pancakes, also amazing flavor Instead of toast. Long review short, we saved $6 as we usually eat at darrells and got the most amazing breakfast. they are 100% our new wkly go to for breakfast.i can't wait for my friends visiting to bring them here. oh and yes, you literally can see Nancy cooking all your food. excellent waitress and help and it came out very fast. well done Nancy, if owning a great resturant was your dream, congrats bc you more than exceeded. truly made my day.

1st time being here in ions. So cute on the inside. The server (new lady) .... she was so great. Really kind & gave us exceptional service. The home fries were the best I've had in Ocala. I'm looking forward to a return visit & hoping to try out some of those pies they have advertised. Thank you for the good service.
Just had an absolutely excellent breakfast at Nancy's!!We're in town from Tennessee and had this place recommended to us. We're so glad it was. Probably the best grits I've ever eaten. And my husband's pancakes may be the best he's ever had. They were light and fluffy.Being from Tennessee we know a good country breakfast when we have one. We'd put Nancy's at the top of the list of any breakfast we've had at a restaurant.Service was also excellent and the place was super clean and welcoming. Very nice atmosphere!!
Nancy's Breakfast and Lunch is a delightful spot that stands out as one of the best breakfast places I've been to. The new location brings more space yet retains the quaint style and charm we've all come to love.The cleanliness of the restaurant is immediately noticeable, creating a welcoming atmosphere right from the start. The food here is consistently great. Whether it's a classic breakfast dish or a great lunch option, everything is prepared freshly with care and tastes delicious.Service at Nancy's is worth mentioning too. It's efficient and friendly, making each visit enjoyable. One of the things I particularly appreciate is seeing Nancy herself occasionally greeting customers. It's a small gesture, but it adds a personal touch that makes dining here feel like you're part of the community.Nancy’s Breakfast and Lunch is a charming little place where great food and a warm atmosphere come together perfectly. It's a place I'll keep coming back to, and it deserves a solid 5-star rating for its overall wonderful experience.David Clayton

Excellent breakfast, delicious and friendly staff.The waitress said they're moving locations very soon, and it should reflect here.The onlynissue was I got a dirty fork, no problem, just grabbed the setting next to me, and all is good.I got the western/cheese omelet, home fries, and toast for $9.99! That'd be $12 at C. Barrel, and who knows where the profits go!.Keep it local folks, ti.es are getting ready to change, and we need to support local businesses.

My mother-in-law and I rate this the coziest, best diner in Ocala. The atmosphere is retro, with Coca-Cola memorabilia everywhere, excellent service, and wonderful food. I especially love their breakfast sandwich, their hashbrowns, and fresh, hot grits , but everything they serve is great. They will be moving soon because their building is being renovated and they will have a new location about 10 minutes away, with an opening date of 2 January 2024, but we would gladly drive an hour to eat at this establishment. We wish them all the best in their new home!
