Restaurants near Vernon

“Let’s start with the food… nothing short of AMAZING. We got an array of food, chicken, veal, pasta, shrimp, calamari. The portion sizes are UNREAL. Enough for at least two meals after you eat. Now our waitress Brenda. She is everything a waitress should be and MORE. Unbelievable people skills. She made us feel like family, like we’ve known her forever. She was absolutely INCREDIBLE!❤️ we’ll be back for sure!”

“We had a party of 12 and were very happy how accomodating they were for us on a very busy morning. The food was excellent. The waitress was fun and she'll certainly remember us...and my "brown gravy" for my pancakes.... We highly recommend this restaurant.”

“The girl who made my sub was super kind. I was a little disoriented because I've never been out that way before but the sub was good and the place was clean and tidy.”

“DELICIOUS COFFEE AND PASTEY S WONDERFUL ART /Homemade items to buy VERY WELLCOME ING PLACE MOST OF ALL”

“It has been my great pleasure to eat and drink and socialize at Nola’s for thirteen years.

The faces are always friendly and the offerings always delicious! I’ve seen the interior redecorated one or two times, indulged in takeout drinks during COVID, had strangers at the bar buy my dinner twice, and so much more. Nola’s and the people who run it are a huge blessing to the community!

After all that time, at long last I feel compelled to exalt the Nola’s experience and tell anyone who will listen about a new offering on the Spring 2026 menu:

The Nashville Hot Chicken

A gorgeous pair of beautifully breaded cutlets in a creamy dill blue cheese sauce that sets off the hot sauce and complements the accompanying stack of red cabbage slaw and sweet & sour pickles. It is a festival of flavors and textures any way you bite it.
It’s been on the menu for less than two weeks and I’ve come up with excuses to go eat it three times so far (soon to be four thank goodness!)

So, hustle on over and order that chicken!!!”

“Food is great, service was pretty good. Everything is made on location, even bread & desserts. Best restaurant in Rome, easily. I had a "lobster tail" for dessert (flaky pastry in shape of lobster tail filled with chocolate mousse). It was off-the-charts-GREAT. Go! Prices are very decent, food is great.”

“The coffee shop is cute and the staff is very friendly. Very accommodating. However, you can tell most baked items are not fresh but refrigerated. The blueberry muffins, which I have retried many times, always taste like a refrigerator cooler. If you are going to serve day old items may I suggest wrapping them tightly to avoid a refrigerator cooler taste.”
