My Mom is currently in a nursing home and my Dad passed 2 weeks ago. Her favorite thing from Nicole's when we lived in Middleburg was the beef tips because she doesn't have her teeth anymore and it was always soft enough that she could actually eat it. I ordered her the beef tips on rice with fried squash and corn and she shared it with her new roommate at the nursing home. They loved how it was still fresh and hot when I got it there and Mom loved her chocolate silk pie for dessert since her birthday was this past Sunday and she loves anything chocolate. I made sure to stop by Nicole's and let their head cook Mark know how much she appreciated and loved their cooking.

Just under 12 bucks for fried chicken livers. NO sides, just a hand full., probably 6 to 8 total livers.. They were pretty good just shocked at how few I got for the price .. I look at the menu that is listed online and the dinner with 3 sides is something like 9 bucks. ... Last month driving thru GA stopped at a truck stop and got larger portion that were crispier just better for 4.99.. Wish I had not wasted the money now...

Arrived at 11 and sat down. 7 minutes later a waitress said she'd be right with us. 4 minutes later, same waitress same statement. 5 minutes later a different waitress came over and got the drink order. We tried to order when the coffee came but the waitress said she didn't know how to take the order and would be right back. An hour later eggs and a sandwich arrived. My hash browns burned to a crisp. Not good. Our waitress checked on us once in an hour and a half.

Wanted to give it a try, love to support local businesses. Waited a while for anyone to come to our table with menus. Server never even looked at us. Was looking out the door the entire time, once she came to the table. I ordered 2 pancakes, with scrambled eggs, and sausage. Did not know they served brown and serve sausage patties. Not impressed. Pancakes were good though, and scrambled eggs were your typical scrambled eggs. Husband ordered a wrap type breakfast, forgot the name, he asked for sausage gravy on top, the server looked at him like he was crazy. Also he ordered 2 pancakes. The wrap thing he ordered was meh. When the food finally came out, 2 people delivered, server was still looking at the door... anyway, they dropped the food and left. Husbands pancakes were not with his order. We were going to ask about them, but never saw our server. About the time we were going to get up and ask they be removed from the bill, a different server showed up and asked if we were waiting on pancakes, left them on the table and walked away. Unfortunately, our first experience here wasn't great. Well not return. Not worth the $30ish that we spent.

I had never been but I was sadly let down that most breakfast items seem to be just thrown in the microwave minus the eggs. Thats as far as the breakfast items. The rest of the menu I'm not sure. I tried it a second time just in case of a fluke, same sad disappointment. Not saying that it's terrible because it isn't. Just needs improvement.

So yummy sandwiches and burgers, amazing customer service.

Overall a very Meh experience. No hostess, no seat yourself signs, waitresses walked4 by patrons entering who end up standing there for 5 minutes at a time (us, and about 7 other people who came in after us).Food was definitely nothing to brag about. They were out of a few menu items.Could be a really great place but it was confusing. They claim better prices than the "other" breakfast places nearby, but the "other" places are well worth the extra 10-20% of the cost for the quality of food and service.

Food was OK.No kids menu for breakfast. Full price for my six year old.Under staffed, no one bussing tables.Our waitress wasn't so friendly.Nicole's in the country preferred for a better experience.

My go to place for breakfast. Very reasonable prices and good food. I hav also had the fried shrimp. They are delicious. Fried right with minimum batter.

Good food and service. We will be going back.
