Breakfast is at its best at Nudy's. The Apple Cake French Toast, however, was good enough to turn anyone into a "Nudist.' Think thick slices of apple and cinnamon pound cake, dipped and fried, covered in fried apples and cinnamon butter. YUM! I also tried the Tuscan Omelette, which had prosciutto, sharp provolone, tomato, and fresh spinach. It was real prosciutto, not just the cooked ham that some restaurants call prosciutto. The provolone was quality as well and all the vegetables fresh and delicious. I was told by others in my group that lunch was great too. I'm going to have to wait to find out as I have to work my way through the breakfast menu first.

I've been twice, and it hasn't failed yet. The best pancakes ever! Love their bacon. It's crispy but still chewy. Definitely need to try the pumpkin spice pancakes! They are amazing! The only downfall is the place is tiny so it's a bit cramped inside. Definitely going to check it out more on a nice spring/summer day and sit on the patio.

When we arrived there wasnt much seating inside so we were asked if we wanted to sit in the covered area outside, which we did. There are several tables outside under cover with heaters and fans. The service was great and we were brought coffee and water right away. We ordered and the food showed up pretty quick through a window from the kitchen. I had the farmers omelet with hash browns. The hash browns were a bit soggy for my liking but still tasted ok. My son didnt care for the chocolate chip pancake too much so I finished that too. Its a nice place and I look forward to eating again if we are ever in the area.

I and my wife visited this cafe on Martin Luther king. Our server was very kind and quick. The quality of the good was good and we enjoyed it a lot. Over all worth it experience we almost spent 30 dollars including tip..

Everything you would expect at a spectacular brunch place - amazing french toast, creative pancakes, folks who know how to cook scrapple right, good coffee, no-nonsense wait staff and occasionally a long wait. Highly recommend.

Nudy's is one of my absolutely favorite places for breakfast. And if you get up early on the weekends in the summer (say, before 8), you can snag an outside table, enjoy the sun...and their fabulous banana walnut pancakes. Their swiss cheese omelet is great...so is the smoked salmon omelet. If you get there after 9, be prepared to wait a bit. But it's worth it. If we're only 2, we sometimes sit at the counter. It's tight...but convival. Bring cash. And an appetite. (But please don't go before 8 on Sundays...I still want my table.)

A great place to have breakfast! The first time I was here I had the banana nut belgian waffle. It came loaded with nuts, bananas, whipped cream and butter and was incredibly delicious! My companion wanted iced coffee, and instead of the waitress telling him that they did not have any, she immediately offered a solution that she could bring him a cup of ice with coffee in it. Why can't more waitresses think like that? I cannot tell you how many times we have encountered a sour face with a waitress exclaiming they have NO iced coffee. The next time I went there I had a sausage and cheese omelet with homefries and toast which was excellent. If the weather is nice, I would suggest you eat outside. If you have to eat inside, it is best to sit at the counter, otherwise you cannot carry on a conversation with your dining companion because it is incredibly loud in the dining room. The only major drawback to this place is the minimal parking spaces available.

Breakfast is a passion of mine. For 92 straight weeks I only ate breakfast. I have had everything breakfast has to offer. I came. I saw. I kicked breakfast's ass. Breakfast is comfort food. I remember being six years old, and despite being locked in a steel box out in the sun for 3 days...it was my fault...I coughed during The 1.98 Beauty Pageant...an offense I wouldn't have taken so lightly, but my parents...well...not technically parents...were much more kind than I..and they would slip pancakes under the metal door. I would use half of them to sooth the heat blisters and half would be the sweet treat I craved to eat so badly. My only friend. Now as an old man I think back on those happy moments during breakfast and smile. When forcefully relocated to this area I searched out the best breakfast joints I could find. Most were not good. Most caused me great pain. Most were very quick to throw someone out for standing on their chair screaming "I'll never let you destroy my memories you bastards!" Some people are very sensitive. As I was being dragged screaming and foaming at the mouth out of a lesser eatery someone suggested I go to Nudy's...then the obligatory pinprick and complete darkness. A few weeks after my release I went to Nudy's for a hearty breakfast, and I was not disappointed. Since my first time eating there I have gone back several times. Everything from their omelets to their pancakes are terrific. They have an excellent selection geared towards virtually everyone. People who want the sweet pancakes with syrup and whipped cream will be in their own personal heaven...people who just want a great protein omelet with their choice of meat and cheese will be thrilled...and people who want something more sophisticated like eggs benedict or a great hollandaise sauce will be very, very happy. The best part of Nudy's, and the thing that keeps me coming back is the service. Sure, it is cheap. Sure, it is good, Sure, they use great ingredients...but the friendly and accomidating service is what will always keep me coming back.

Friends recommended this breakfast spot. I have to say I was disappointed. We should have opted to sit outside, but instead were seated in the small dining room. The first thing that I noticed was the unpleasant smell inside. A dank smell that permeated the room which was being unsuccessfully masked by a heavily perfumed air freshener. Then came the over abundance of black flies that were unavoidable. Landing on the walls, food and on the diners. This really made me weary of eating the food. A trip to the restroom uncovered no toilet paper in either of the individual restrooms, and both were filthy. The food was well presented and the server was very pleasant, friendly and attentive. But after sharing the pumpkin bread French toast and prosciutto omelette I found that they both tasted average and nothing special. If this were a dive restaurant with dive prices I would have been more understanding. I won't be returning, but if you believe the hype, be sure to sit outside and don't discover what's behind the curtain.

After coming to Nudy's for a late breakfast yesterday, I'm a true Nudist! I came here once for lunch a long, long time ago and found it cramped and too busy to really enjoy. Thankfully, my friend talked me in to going again. On a beautiful Saturday, this place, tucked behind the main thoroughfare in Wayne, was packed enough that we had to wait for a table. Thankfully, my friend put in his name a little earlier and we were quickly seated. Not long after, the waitress took our orders: one set of chocolate chip pancakes and eggs florentine, both of which came out piping hot within five minutes. My pancakes were sweet and moist, with ample bits of chocolate throughout. Syrup, butter and whipped cream made this the perfect indulgence for a lazy Saturday. My friend's eggs were served on an english muffin with the usual accouterments and nummy hash browns. Both dishes were scarfed down quickly. The drawbacks to Nudy's are few. There's little to no parking and the other businesses won't let you use their lots, so take your changes with street parking. The place is SO loud that any chances of conversation are slim to nil, though it may be a bit better if you sit on the enclosed patio. Service also seems to fly quickly, making it a rather rushed experience. All in all, if you want good food at a reasonable price, Nudy's is a great breakfast and lunch spot. PS: Their breakfast options are available all day long.

Always a of Nudy's. It's a great breakfast/brunch place to meet up with friends or take family. I wouldn't recommend larger groups (greater than 6) since it's a cozy little place. I'm a big breakfast fan so I can't speak to the rest of the menu but I'm always torn between their delicious pancakes (pecan chocolate chip!) or omelettes. The service is fast and always been friendly.

Nudy's gets a solid 3 from me. It was very good, but I felt a little slighted by the lackluster stalk and a half of asparagus on top of my eggs benedict. Our French server was delightful and very prompt. One visit to Nudy's is worth it- I'm not sure I have an insatiable urge to go back any time soon. If I do, I'll order the gingerbread pancakes and some scrapple. The hash browns are good btw, request them well done for a little more crunch for your munch! :)

We are regular at this place but today was disappointing. I had ordered a southwest omelet with egg white and they served be some weird scramble and probably wasn't even egg white. And my husband ordered a veg panini and he was served cold sandwich with cheese and tomato. This used to be my favorite brunch places

The gingerbread pancakes were amazing. Huge portion- way too much food, but delicious. And I may sound crazy saying this, but I love oatmeal. A lot. And this was some soundly good oatmeal. It's cute and diner-y, but with really sweet staff who actually know people (though not me, a complete outsider) by name. Seriously, I wish I could actually have eaten more than I already did. And maybe had actually been hungover so the coffee/pancake/oatmeal ridiculousness that I devoured could have soaked up booze instead of just filling me up completely. All I wanted to do the rest of the day was watch bad television and not move- and thus I did. Mostly, Nudy's also exudes charm but lacks the slight edge of back East money that most places on the Main Line includes. The kitsch is actually genuine and pretty easily appreciated.

The banana Walnut French toast are amazingly! Nudy's is a great place to take the family for Sunday brunch. Their bacon is very crispy and they gave you a good portion. It's kind of small so I would try to keep your party size small maybe a maximum of six people. Overall I can't wait to go back!!!

Love Nudy's Cafe - we've come for breakfast and lunch, always leave having a great experience and wanting to come back for more. Their breakfasts are one of my favorite in the area. Definitely give Nudy's a shot but be ready to wait for a table if you come for breakfast/brunch because its a popular place, and rightfully so!

Just had lunch at Nudy's with some colleagues - it was the first time I'd ever been there. The service was really fast - our food was out before we knew it. I had the Tuscan Omelet (prosciutto, tomatoes, sharp cheese and spinach) which was good and some shredded hash browns. I was happy with my meal and I think the four people with me enjoyed theirs too. We sat in the outside patio area which would have been great had there not been HOT air blowing on us pretty much the entire time. But other than that, no complaints...

So I was really excited to get the Crab Benedict and ultimately pretty disappointed in it. I have a feeling the crab meat was fake or canned and nothing was done to it to dress it up, which was sad. The fried home-fries were great though. My boyfriend got a breakfast sandwich with sausage on a bagel and it was really good. There was also a guy sitting next to us who got blueberry pancakes that looked absolutely delicious. I'm definitely willing to give it another try, but just be warned about the Crab Benedict.

This was one of the worst breakfasts I have had at a restaurant. We weren't looking for anything gourmet or innovative in a breakfast joint, but what made this experience awful was that Nudy's screwed up the basics. The "home fries" were a mushy, tasteless glob. My omelette was dry, tough and tasted strongly of margarine. The coffee was weak and had an unpleasant flavor. I was with a party of four, and it only took about 10 minutes from the time we ordered to the food being on our table. I guess you shouldn't complain about speedy service, but this is extreme, and it's obvious that the kitchen puts little effort into making quality food. They have a huge menu, but they should just focus on doing a few things well. The ambience doesn't make up for the bad food. We sat under the tent on the concrete patio. It was loud and, simply, there's nothing nice to look at; Nudy's is surrounded by your typical Main Line parking lots. The service isn't great...lots of young waitstaff just hanging around, slow to bus tables and fill coffee. I should also add that I joined Yelp specifically to make this review! I wouldn't return to Nudy's or recommend it to anyone.

Try Nudy's Lox & Cream Cheese platter ($7.95): Cuts of smoked salmon, tomatoes, capers, red onions, cucumbers, and cream cheese, served with a crunchy toasted bagel sliced in half. A delicious combination, it's worth every penny. Last I was here, we enjoyed brunch on the side porch, relaxing in the sun. Solid service, as usual.

Jennie S.
Had the California Benedict and it was very good. Home fries are actually hash browns and be forewarned the Pumpkin Spice Pancakes contain no actual pumpkin. I'm glad i asked before I ordered them; I would have been sadly disappointed. And the coffee they serve is pretty terrible. Oh and they deep fry their bacon- gross!

Sara A.
I went for brunch for my friend's birthday and had a delightful time! For starters, we went in early March, so it was still a bit chilly when there was no sun, and Nudy's had a covered tent outside, so that was awesome. The food was great - I had a southwestern chicken omelet with bacon and toast on the side. They kept the cranberry juice flowing! Every staff member there was really nice, and I appreciated that we were not rushed out of our seats. They didn't seem to mind that we chatted a bit after finishing brunch. I would recommend sitting outside, as the inside is a bit cramped and loud.

Breakfast basics are respectable with above average pancakes. Outside seating area is buzzing with flies. There were plates of leftover food for at least an hour on one of the tables. Coffee was a bit weak. Servers nice enough but spend too much time socializing and not enough cleaning and checking on customers.
(2)
Kamper G.
Amazing little sweet spot hidden away off the main line. Space is tight inside the tiny dining room, but that's what gives Nudy's it's character. You can taste the home, love and thoughtfulness in the breakfast food unlike some other diners that just produce and serve edible plates. It's probably the cheapest you can find in the area. They surely would be able to charge more for these heavenly experiences they serve. This was my first favorite place since moving to this area. Minus one star for the endless pack of ditzy hostesses.

Decided to meet up with a group of friends for brunch here - 5 adults, 2 kids -late on a crummy-rainy-bonechiller Sunday morning. I arrived about 10 minutes early and put our name on the waiting list for a table and was told it would be about 10-15 minutes. Perfect! Granted I had to wait outside under an umbrella and shiver because I would otherwise be hovering over someone's table inside, I was pleased we could be seated that soon. Two of my friends arrived, the family of four said they were running a little late and our names were called and I asked if it was a problem that our whole party wasn't here yet and they said absolutely not, we won't make you wait in the rain and cold. They seated us in the patio area which was covered with a plastic tent and heated with a propane heater that we were right next to which was very welcome. The server took our drink order right away and our remaining friends joined us shortly thereafter. It took us a little while for everyone to get settled in and since some of us were meeting for the first time, we were chatty and not focused on the menu. Never felt rushed. We all ordered and it wasn't long before our food started coming out. The kid's food came first, then mine and my two non-parent friends. And then nothing. The waiter stopped by a moment later, and we hadn't started eating because not everyone had been served - and he asked if everything tasted ok so far. We kind of looked at him funny and then he said to the two who hadn't been served, well you didn't order anything, right? And we all thought he was joking. But he wasn't. He seemed to have stopped taking orders afte the kid's had placed their orders. He apologized profusely for his mistake and said the food would be up shortly. It took maybe another 10 minutes. He apologized again and continued to be attentive throughout. About mid-way through the meal, the heater stopped working, so we began to get very cold very fast. Though our waiter said they were getting some more propane and appeared to be hooking it up, we did not see it's warmth again. When our check came he said we didn't have to worry about the kid's meals which I thought was well handled. Three of us had a Tuscan omelet which was beautifully done, and the hash browns were delicious. I had no complaints. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals when they eventually came. I would definitely give Nudy's another shot, maybe on a more pleasant day. Despite its flubs, they recovered well and the food was great.

Bees, bees everywhere...not a place to hide. Clearly the owner can care less about the massive bees issue as this seems to be an ongoing problem. I guess it will take people getting stung to do something about it. We went today and left as soon as they sat us on the patio as were swarmed by bees. Don't know how the food was as we didn't get a chance to try it.

Went for an early Sunday brunch with the boyfriend's family and enjoyed our experience. There were 8 of us and it was only a 20 minute wait for outdoor seating. Each plate had huge portions and I was impressed with the fresh strawberries on my belgian waffles. Didn't experience the fly problems that so many other reviews mentioned, but we went on a crisp fall morning so that might have had some effect on it. Also, their website does not list all locations, as one of us headed to the location in Phoenixville while the rest of us were in Wayne...

Ever wanted to have breakfast or lunch in Calcutta but didn't want to endure a 24 hr flight to India? Well now you can. It's not that Nudy's serves anything remotely similar to Indian food. Rather, its the swarms of flies buzzing about your Banana Walnut Pancakes and Breakfast Burritos and hanging off the walls and ceiling that will make you think you've been transported to the streets of Calcutta! I hadn't been to Nudy's in a while and was happy to find that they had done some major redecorating (as it was sorely needed). However, after ordering breakfast I was overtaken with the feeling that the walls and ceiling were moving. That they were reaching out and tickling my leg. Then I realized the walls and ceiling were alive with flies. There were flies everywhere! What needs to be said about the the food and service? Well it doesn't really matter - the flies are the thing you remember most!

Came here for brunch with my boyfriend and sister's boyfriend who raved about the menu (salmon florentine). I ordered a simple 2 fried eggs with wheat toast, homefries, and a side of canadian bacon. It was a good but average meal. Didn't like how there was already butter on my toast (since I don't like butter). On my way out I saw the bacon and it looked sooo delicious I wished that I had ordered some. The prices here are very good (quite inexpensive compared to any dining places in NY!). I will order something more adventurous the next time I dine here.

This is absolutely my favorite brunch place, in part due to the delicious, and sometimes hip interpretations of, traditional comfort food, in part due to its charmingly rustic ambiance, and certainly in part to the quick and attentive service (my coffee mug is always filled). Of course, it doesn't hurt that it's close to my homestead. I try to frequent this place as often as my schedule allows. Please, DON'T try it because I don't want my favorite local joint to become too popular/busy....

Very solid breakfast spot. Ate here for the first time yesterday and will be back. I asked for eggs poached medium and that's exactly what I got. This is not a difficult feat to pull off, yet it seems to evade most breakfast places I've been. Decor could use some freshening up but love Nudy's for what it is - like I said before, a very solid breakfast spot. Will be back!

It took some time to get over the awkward feeling I had about visiting a place called Nudy's. After all, brunch with the family should rarely involve anything so risque. Awkwardness in tact, I decided to stray from my normal brunch order. Normally, I'm a eggs and bacon kinda guy. If I'm feeling extra frisky, I'll spring for a side of yogurt. But not today... I went off the deep end and ordered Belgium waffles and turned out to be pleasantly surprised. The plate was well portioned with bananas and they didn't presumptuously add syrup or copious amounts of sugar. The dining room was filled (not surprisingly... because it's tiny), so we ventured outdoors. Fortunately, it was nice enough day outside. Overall, we were happy with our seating choice. The rest of the fam seemed to enjoy their plates and in the end, I'm happy I visited this little cafe.

Food was excellent if you aren't on a diet. Atmosphere takes away the star. We sat outside in 88 degree weather because it was hotter inside. And flies become a problem.

Great breakfast food. Good, fast service. A little too crowded for comfort though. No wait area except outside which is okay in the summer but not so much in the winter. I understand it is a popular spot but they don't need to squish people in like sardines.

We've gone for brunch twice and have enjoyed it a lot both times. We were willing to sit outside and got seated immediately even on what seemed to be a fairly busy Sunday. They have a nice patio out front, as well as a covered patio over on the side of the building. This time, I had pumpkin bread french toast with a side of bacon. The french toast was awesome, but very rich and sweet; I didn't finish it. The bacon was cooked perfectly and was yummmmy! My husband had a burger, which he said was very good, as were the fries. Overall, the service was excellent start to finish and the food was delicious. All the food coming out around us also looked really good. I'm excited to come back here again!

Solid brunch food! We went on July 4th, so weren't sure if it was open, but they were. We went late so got a table easily - I had the fish tacos - quite yummy. My hubby had the crabcake sandiwch - his was much more flavorful. Seems like a great neighborhood place to grab a bite.

Keeping in mind this is the burbs, Nudy's is a great little place for brunch on the weekends. Its small and the interior isn't the best, however the food was excellent, came out ultra-fast (great when you have little kids) and the price was about average for the area. Servers were friendly college kids. Just remember the seating is really tight so if you don't like small places, eat outside on the patio. Wife and kids will be going back to Nudy's often.

Meredith B.
While the food and service here at Nudy's for breakfast is usually ok, the outdoor dining room area is often filthy and unpleasant. Our tables often had dried food in the table metal mesh top. The sun barrels in the clear plastic windows the morning, and there's no way to block its rays while you try and eat and converse, rendering your meal a chore to finish. When its hot, they have a big, dirty fan that is loud and blows air across the room, and when its cold, there an equally unpleasant heater. So while the food is alright here, and the service is usually good, eat on the outside terrace or in the interior dining room and avoid the outdoor covered dining room.

Nudy's is one of my favorite breakfast places of all time. My friend and I often ask for substitutions and they are more than happy to accommodate us. I personally love the granny smith pita pocket or the banana walnut pancakes (just ask and they'll add chocolate chips). Sometimes it can get crowded, especially the parking lot, and they close by three so make sure to get there at a decent hour for brunch.

My friends and I met for breakfast Sunday morning. The hostess said the wait for four would be about 15 minutes and it ended up being around 30. When we were seated we immediately noticed the dozen or so flies buzzing around. Have you heard of fly paper ribbons?! Come on... To add to that, it was EXTREMELY loud and not a pleasant breakfast. It was a relief to finally get outside (even though the temperature was 93 degrees) as it felt like the AC must have been off in the restaurant. Our waitress was a bit aloof and not very friendly as well. We almost had to pull on the strings of her apron to get her attention. Food quality and taste are not the best and the portions are not as big as you would expect at a true diner. But hey, we didn't really like the food anyway. Have been to Nudy's twice and decided the sub-par food isn't worth coming back for in exchange for the negative experience we had. Definitely not coming back.

Yummy, fresh food! The omelette was great, very fresh veggies. Service was good. They seated us quickly even on a weekend morning and food came out fast! Pancakes were light and kids asked for more! Appe cake french toast was ok. A bit mushy for me but flavor was good. I don't know why we haven't gone sooner. It was a couple bucks more than a regular diner, but so much better!

I had to make a trip outside of the city this weekend, and I wanted to stop at a new place for breakfast. I had heard about Nudy's cafe, all the way out in Wayne, and I was excited to see what it was all about. Nudy's is off a small street, and there were cars parked along the side of the street; the parking lot was full and there were still more people pouring. Amazingly, Holly Z and I only waited about five minutes for a table. There are two really great outdoor seating areas, one is covered so you can still eat outside if it's drizzling a bit. Inside Nudy's is a bustling little diner scene as well. Immediately I noticed how cheap the prices are. Living in the city I have come to expect to pay at least $10 for brunch, but nothing at Nudy's topped $8. I ordered Crab Benedict, which included poached eggs, lump crab meat, and asparagus on English muffins with Hollandaise sauce. Holly ordered one of their "signature" omelets. Our food came out quickly, and overall the service was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and didn't rush us despite the fact that he was obviously busy. I'm not sure if it's because of my high expectations for this specific location, or the kind of bruncheries I frequent in the city, but I was disappointed with Nudy's. First off, the coffee was water flavored coffee; very weak. When my dish came out, I was disappointed with the meager two spears of asparagus, but it was even worse that they were limp and flavorless. In fact, my dish was bland on the whole. Holly seemed to agree for her meal as well. The best compliment we could agree on was that "It's better than Denny's." Maybe for the area, this spot is great. Maybe I've become too much of a critic. Either way, I was not impressed with Nudy's. I might go here rarely if it was around the corner, but there's not a chance it's worth any driving. Which is sad, because it would be great to find an amazing and secluded place. Nudy's was still hoping, so apparently they are doing something right. Just not for me.

Always a good breakfast at Nudy's. And there's always a wait for a table. But why are there at least one dozen flies roaming about the dining room? Breakfast should be enjoyable, not a session in dodging or swatting flies. Maybe Karate Kid eats here.

As a word to the wise, I recommend that when you attempt to find this place by plugging the name into your iphone, you 1)spell it correctly and 2)be sure to have the "cafe" part of the name included. Nuff said. We went for brunch on a Sunday, and the wait was about 20 minutes, which wasn't horrible considering the number of people milling around waiting. The food was adequate but nothing to write home about compared to some of the amazing brunches I've had in Philly. I had the pumpkin bread french toast, which came with cream cheese spread instead of butter. It was very sweet (as expected) and pretty good though I'd probably order something else if I returned here. I supplemented with a side of bacon, which was fairly bland and chewy. I love me some bacon, so this was quite disappointing. The service was efficient, and it was great to be able to sit out on the patio enjoying the 60-degree March day which is really the only reason I bumped this up to 3 stars instead of 2. Overall, if I was going to be out in the burbs again for some other reason and it was convenient, I might go back but I definitely wouldn't make a trip all the way out there just to go to this place.

I have been a long time fan of Nudy's. Generally, I have breakfast there about 10 or 12 times per year on special occassions. I must report an unsatisfactory experience yesterday - service was fine, but the food was not. I ordered the bacon and cheese omelet, with potatoes as a side dish. The bacon was pre-packaged "bacon bits" (obviously not cooked by Nudy's). The potatoes were the pre-packaged frozen type and tasteless as well. I had another breakfast there last week and ordered the short-stack pancakes, which were tasty but very small. I did leave hungry. Sure I will keep going to Nudy's because two disappointing experiences over 15 years is not enough to keep me away, but I hope this is not a trend..

I think this place is really an amazing value. When you compare the quality of the food to what you would get for the same price at a diner, there is actually no comparison. I have been here a few times, usually getting an omelette. They are all good. My husband is partial to the various french toast concoctions. Everything is exceptionally fresh and tasty!

True to my word, I did make it here for brunch this morning and split an order of the crab benedict and apple cake frendh toast. As always, the crab benedict was delectable with perfectly poached eggs and savory hollandaise, topped with plenty of crabmeat and asparagus over a buttered english muffin; I requested the butter because it really does add an extra layer of creaminess. Just trust me on this. The apple cake french toast sounded really different and it was very very good. The cake itself was moist and stuffed with cinnamon apples; add a thin egg batter, whipped cream, more apples, and fresh cinnamon butter and you have a very yummy meal/dessert. It was a bit on the sweet side, though, so I'm not sure if it's a respectable, nutritious breakfast but it sure did taste good. Just make sure that you have some form of protein should you opt to order it so that you don't have a sugar-induced crash later on in the day. It was pretty crowded and busy, but we were pretty comfortable on the side patio and didn't feel rushed at all. We did have to wait maybe 15 minutes for a table, but that was to be expected. Service was friendly and efficient, and our coffee and water was consistently replenished.

This Update is for the lunch only. To put it simply, the lunch options at Nudy's are just not as good as the breakfast options. Nonetheless they are decent. I recently had the ham and cheese on marble rye, really tasty! However, today I just had the Italian Panini, which sounded excellent on the menu, but I was misled. It lacked in the flavor department and the focaccia bread was a joke and an absolute waste of calories. The prosciutto on it was good, but that was about it. I'll of course keep coming back here b/c I love this place, but I think I'm sticking to the breakfast options.

Best pancakes I ever had! I have tried all of them, plain, banana, blueberry and I had to try the pumpkin. It was fantastic. One of these days I will try an omelete, until them I am quite content with the coffee and pancakes.

Suggestion: bee trap for outside and take care of the fly problem inside and I will come back. Yuk! It's like my trips to Third World countries! Gross! All the flies sitting on utensils of unoccupied tables waiting for YOU to put it in your mouth and dig into your food! I counted 8 flies on one table. Yummy!

Favorite breakfast place on the Main Line - I've never had anything I didn't like there. The creamed chipped beef on biscuits is out of this world. Also, the crab and asparagus omelette is amazing. The place is small and a little cramped, but the food is just great. We always have wonderful service whenever we're there regardless of how busy it is. Looking forward to our next visit!

We've been to Nudy's many times and is excellent for breakfast... usually a little crowded during normal breakfast hours, but between times is not too bad... friendly wait staff, outdoor seating and great recipe selections make Nudy's more than just the usual Diner. Still talk about the Pumpkin Pancakes during last holiday season. Update Mar 02, 08: another visit to Nudy's... the best breakfast in the Wayne area... sat at the counter and service and food was better than good... very hot coffee... eggs over easy, bacon and hash browns crispy as requested and the Banana - Walnut Pancakes... heavenly!

Prices are good. Most items are under $8, $10 for seafood. Their parking situation is terrible, so make sure you go before the rush.

Heard good things about this place, so was very disappointed when we took family who was visiting us for the first time here for breakfast. Out of 5 people, the only one that liked their food was the 8 year old, who just got a fruit salad. The crab eggs Benedict had no flavor and was dry. potatoes were cold, even the yogurt was bad. The place was not that crowded. No plans on going back

This place used to be great, but has really gone downhill in the last year. Both my mother and I go seafood poisoning from the crab omelet. When we called them to warn them about the bad seafood, they did not even offer a refund. The cooks are just not as good as they used to be. The omelets were more like scrambled eggs that were tough and overcooked with no flavor and grease.

This place has fantastic breakfast/brunch foods and a wait to match. The only way to get to it is to have someone run you off Lancaster Ave (headed west), landing you on otherwise relatively useless Conestoga Rd. If you need another reason to go, envision the conversation with your mother in law: "I'm taking your daughter out for sausage at Nudy's."

Jae R.
Mm. I don't know what was the big deal about this place. It was nothing special in terms of food. First the restaurant was filled with generic tables. I think IHOP would look so much better. Mind you... I love restaurants with old, simply look that makes you feel like either you are away from home, or you are transported to somewhere interesting. I traveled this far to eat this generic breakfast...not a fan.

This place is just OK. If there is a line for a table (common on the weekends) I will eat elsewhere. They have a solid selection of pancake options, including a decent pumpkin pancake available year-round. However, if you want my repeat business, your coffee has to be AT LEAST decent. No so at Nudy's....very weak. The small-sized juice is seemingly smaller than a dixie cup, which is annoying. if you go there during a busy summer morning, be prepared to sweat off a few pounds as the 5000btu air conditioners don't cool the joint very much.....blah

It's hard for me to only give Nudy's one star. The food is amazing! We used to get up early on Sunday mornings so we could beat the rush and secure a table here. Then it happened. We sat down at a window table and noticed ants. Not just one or two...a huge infestation of them. We discreetly pulled the waitress aside to notify her of the problem. She acted like it was a non-issue! She offered to move us to a different table, but did nothing about the huge ants running everywhere! While I understand that this is a common problem, it's the reaction that made me question the cleanliness of the entire place. Will never return.

I love Nudy's. It's my favorite place to get breakfast in the wayne area, but I keep coming back for the same thing. I get the banana walnut pancakes and have them add chocolate chips (and a side of bacon). They are the best, THE BEST! Their granny smith pita pocket is also good and my parents like their omelets. I only give it 4 stars because there are a number of items on the menu that really aren't very good, which is one of the reasons I just stick to my favorite every time.

Nice and cozy environment with quaint outdoor seating make this place enjoyable. Food selection is unique and it all sounds delicious. The entrees/breakfasts that I have ordered have been tasty but not amazing - but good enough that I will return when I have the chance. Coffee was decent and service was respectable.

Nicole C.
Nudy's has great breakfast and lunch food. Everything tastes homemade, not like a diner, and it is a very friendly and cozy environment. The owners are locals and the wait staff are always pleasant. It is a bit more expensive than a diner-type restaurant but the food is WELL WORTH IT. They also have outdoor seating year round that is temperature controlled which is a huge plus. I suggest the melba or the breakfast burrito.

I have been hearing about Nudy's for quite some time, but had never been until this morning. I had heard nothing but good things, and I arrived at around noon on a Sunday with an enormous appetite and optimistic expectations. We sat outside on the patio, nice wrought-iron furniture with gigantic umbrellas. The menu was incredibly promising. Great ideas, but in my experience, poor execution. I ordered the jumbo lump crab omelette with asparagus and bernaise and a side of scrapple. The asparagus was rubber and undercooked. The omelette was bland. My scrapple was undercooked and mush, but maybe that's my fault for not ordering it well done. Then again maybe not. Good toast, though. My girlfriend ordered eggs and bacon, a tough dish to mess up but very good nonetheless. My friend had eggs benedict and they were good as well. All in all, underwhelming would be the best way to describe my experience. I will go back, as there is tons to explore on their extensive menu, but first impressions are everything and Nudy's came up short for me.

Their banana pancakes...their french toast...yum yum. It is definitely crowded on weekend mornings, but it's worth the wait. This is fantastic breakfast food. The boyfriend and I loved it here.

Ahhh! Good old Nudy's. Oh no, no, no this isn't a strip joint but rather a great little breakfast and luncheonette with some belly filling meals made with soul and heart. We fell in love with this place when we lived in Wayne and luckily for us they now have one (3 locations) in Phoenixville's emerging downtown. Trust me this is some good breakfast food made with that key ingredient: LOVE!

Eric S.
Love this place. Get there early and allow some time because you are not the only one that knows about the pancakes. They are the best ever. Do not worry it moves fast, I would like some soy milk, but that is the only bad thing I can say.

Savannah H.
Excellent breakfast food!! Pancakes, omelets, etc are all delicious and the wait staff is very friendly. It can get very crowded on the weekends, but it is well worth the wait, and you can often be seated very quickly if you don't mind sitting at the counter. The food is SO much better than Minella's Diner down the street and the wait staff will not treat you like dirt if you happen to be younger than 30. Now if only Nudy's was open 24 hours...

This is my favorite spot for breakfast. I like the French toast here which is honestly the best in the area. They have a very good menu but I didn't really like some of the choices on there. The coffee is also a bit too strong for me. But they have great omelettes, so that's a huge plus going for them.

It's the quintessential no frills brunch place. The prices are decent, the service is very friendly, and the portions are perfect. We stumbled upon this place after my SO insisted on reliving his grad school days where he would eat a hearty meal at Nudy's before going to cram for an exam he should've been studying for a week before. To his surprise, there were multiple locations of Nudy's and they were "only 3 stars"???? He knew I was an avid Yelper and he was set on proving the other reviews wrong. We arrived around 10AM and the place was already swinging. There's parking in the back and the tables were already filled. I could see how there would be a long wait for a seat here. We were seated immediately, luckily. My SO ordered the seafood omelette which had shrimp, crab and fresh avocados. The seafood was plentiful and had big chunks in every bite. I ordered the ahi tuna florentine, which is like an eggs Benedict with spinach and seared ahi tuna. A good way to have a semi guilt-free brunch. Hearty but not to the point where I need a nap afterwards.

I read the previous comments and was aware of what I was walking into, hence why my review is 3 stars. The bees outside and the flies inside are nothing to laugh about. It's out of control. The food however is delicious. We were sat outside and got attack by one bee, it was probably the lovely syrup container on the table. Went inside and got attacked by flies. Great way to eat breakfast! I had the French toast with eggs and bacon. Best meal for a great price! Restaurant 3 Food 5

This place is terrible! Food- I couldn't finish my meal because it tasted so bad. I got the seafood omelette. Crab meat wasn't fresh and the hash browns were under cooked. Asparagus wasn't cooked properly either. Parking - there isn't any Waiting Area - it's outside in the cold. The place is really cramped

I do like this little breakfast/lunch place. They definitely make solid breakfast foods. I like being adventurous with my taste buds and experiment with foods I've never had, so I ordered the lobster benedict. Which is an egg benedict dish with lobster, obviously. I realized I don't like lobster mixed in with my eggs. Hey, sometimes that happens. But my friend loved her omelette, and the few bites that were shared with me were A-OK They get 3 stars for treating customers like sardines. Sure, we went there on a Saturday morning, but I still shouldn't have to stand in a light drizzle in the middle of March. Then when we were seated, I thought I was on some sort of weird double date with the couple sitting behind me. The tables were tetris-ed together. Besides that, though, the staff and food was lovely. Go on a weekday and it'll probably be 4-stars quality.

Bobby F.
the place is nice and small However the food was bland and they didn't know how to properly make eggs Benedict. The eggs were well done and the potatoes were burnt black. I would have forgot the fact that there are flies all over the restaurant(inside the restaurant) all over your table & food if the meal was actually good. I won't eat here again.

I'm on the constant lookout for great breakfast-brunch places on the Main Line and folks had been talking Nudy's up to me for awhile so on a weekday, I finally made it out here. The sweet little establishment is off the beaten path and straddles the line between standard and finer diner, which I think is pretty cool. What wasn't cool? The flies flitting about here, there, and everywhere. But they had a straightforward menu with plenty of breakfast options, including a handful of different eggs benedict selections. Because of that, I was of the assumption that their eggs benedict would probably be on point, and I opted for the standard version with Canadian bacon. It was a fine benedict, but it wasn't superb. For it to be amazing, the hollandaise would have had to really woo me, and theirs was just okay -- not quite the consistency I'd hoped for, with decent flavor. I can make better hollandaise at home, and I have. Additionally, I requested that my breakfast potatoes be well done and they weren't quite there yet. I can make better breakfast potatoes at home, and I have. The eggs were cooked properly, with just the right amount of run. The coffee was terrific. I think Nudy's had only recently changed their supplier to a company in West Chester. Our waitress (who had a lovely disposition and was very competent) informed me that their beans were exclusively available to restaurants when I asked about their coffee. Boo! *thumbs down* I might give them another chance if I was near one (and with multiple locations, there's a strong possibility of that happening in this life). It wasn't terrible food and it wasn't at all expensive, but they need to brush up on their benedict and get rid of those pesky ass flies. 2.5 stars. Dear Yelp, Please include a half star option so we reviewers can review accordingly. Sincerely, Everyone

Pros: Family atmosphere Reasonable price Good portions Service is decent Good coffee Cons: Nothing extraordinary about the food, typical breakfast- omelet, pancakes, eggs and bacon. Wait time was 34-40 minutes for breakfast Small/cramped waiting area, most people waited outside and it was 20* freezing

I just returned from a trip back home and I've got to say, when I go home I always try to make it to Nudy's for breakfast. While there is often a wait on weekends, my meals have always been worth the wait. I haven't really branched out with the menu, but my favorites are the french toast melba (mmmmmmm raspberry cream sauce) and the breakfast burrito. Fresh guacamole and salsa (rather than the jar stuff) would definitely improve the meal, but I always really enjoy the breakfast burrito anyway. It's enormous and I basically love anything that comes in a tortilla shell. The area for inside seating is small and cramped - if you're able to get it, the best seating is outside under the umbrella tables (not under the tent!) I've had really great service here and sub par service here, but overall it's a solid place to have a decent breakfast. If you've got a sweet tooth, definitely try some of their specialty french toasts. They all look amazing!

Had breakfast here a few days ago while I was visiting from out of town. The food was good but not all that special. The service was excellent.

Just came back from nudy's with our whole family including four kids. simple, consistently good food. Nothing too innovative but a great family place. It is not a "fancy" brunch place, but if you want good reliable food... Goto Nuddy's . It is always crowded and always simply good. Our waitress named Alice was very friendly and very talented.

Really nice quaint place in Wayne with limited seating. Staff was average this day with a few mistakes, but nothing fatal. Guy waiting forgot to bring the toast and had to be reminded... Happens I guess?? Orange juice was below average for a place like this. Tasted like a store brands attempt at matching tropicana and failed. We ordered 2 omelette-s that arrived in good shape, but mine was minus the cheddar cheese I added. This place could easily be a 4-5star establishment with better management , less socializing(staff), and a attitude to be the best cafe there is. Right now, maybe lower than a diner...wow, but really.

Megh R.
This is a cute little restaurant with mostly decent food. My partner got pumpkin pancakes, which he said were very flavorful, fluffy but not too thick, and came standard with whipped cream, which he fully agrees with. He also said they did a great job at presenting the pumpkin, whereas some restaurants serve pumpkin pancakes that just taste like cinnamon. I got a chicken salad wrap, but the chicken salad was just unseasoned mush. I guess they use shredded chicken, so it had no bite to it, and they definitely did not add enough salt, pepper, etc. I ended up throwing half of it out since neither of us wanted to eat it. The onion rings were great, though. Service was great. Parking is very scarce.

Chris M.
I've been going to Nudy's for a couple years now since moving to the Main Line. I've never had a bad meal, and only once was I upset with the service. (The waiter thought it'd be cool to practice his "long pour" while filling my coffee. Needless to say it ended with me buying a new pair of shorts and almost having to replace my phone. Luckily he is no longer there.) My only gripe is that recently, July / August '14, the bees outside have been TERRIBLE. Multiple times now I've had to box half my meal and leave because I just couldn't stand 3 or 4 bees hovering around my table at a time. Nudy's please do something about this or else my wife and I will not be returning until the weather is cold and the tent is closed off. I will gladly re-review and reward more stars once this issue is resolved.

Hannah G.
This is probably the only place that I go to brunch/breakfast in the area. For one, it's consistent. Although they have quite an array of options on their menu, I tend to always order two eggs, bacon, coffee and hashbrowns. My eggs are always cooked just how I asked and the bacon is always crispy. When I am in the mood for something for lunch, their salads are to die for and their Granny Smith wrap is just delectable. Because there is limited seating and parking, it can be a bit hectic on weekends. Don't be discouraged by the wait--people funnel in and out fairly quickly. With the summer months approaching, the outdoor area is a real treat and a nice place to sit. I gave 4 stars because it is nothing special but is very consistent. I've never been disappointed.

diane g.
Pros: The menu is very impresssive. Hard to decide since there were so many great offerings. We had a wonderful short stack of pancakes. I asked about real maple syrup and they brought it to the table. Excellent service and fast....maybe too fast? Cons: Outside under the tent was very loud... And not from traffic. Just horrible acoustics. Very disappointing lobster Eggs Benedict. Lobster was very fishy tasting and dried out scrappy peices. Hollandaise was flavorless. Coffee was weak. They dont offer espresso. Potatoes were fine. Friends scrambled eggs and ham were fine. Seems like this is a place for pancakes and french toast. Will return to try the french toast but they really need to do something about their coffee.

They have the best French toast. I order a short stack of their classic style and it's perfect every time. My coworkers and I frequent this place for late breakfasts and lunches. This is by far the best of the locations.

A small group of friends decided to go out for brunch one day and Nudy's was one of the suggestions. Having never heard of this place, which I'm really surprised about, I was really interested to check it out as a first timer. I have to say parking here is an adventure! if you can't find anything on the street, there's a tiny gravel lot you can go to. Follow the signs! It was really busy on a Sunday morning, so we put our names in and hung out. After a short wait, we were seated in the small, outside eating area and a waitress came over immediately. The menu has a little bit of everything on it, which is great. I ultimately ended up with the crab benedict and it was fabulous! My only gripe is that the asparagus that comes with it was way overcooked, so it kind of just fell apart when I was trying to cut it. Other than that, I was really happy with my order - the flavors were there, it wasn't a small portion, and eggs were cooked perfectly. Everyone else at the table had the pancakes (which are enormous!) and one had the hot roasted pork. Other than "this is too much food," the only thing I heard about the other entrees was that the roasted pork sandwich was bland and boring. Service was excellent, food was pretty good, and the pricing was extremely reasonable. I'd definitely check Nudy's out again!

This is by far the best breakfast place in town. Growing up in the area I used to come here very frequently and now whenever I come back home for even a night, I always have to go to nudys breakfast in the morning with my mom. When it comes to breakfast, if you can make a solid omelet then I'm happy and thats what Nudy's does. The consistently make a great omelet. I usually get the spinal and Feta. There is a good amount of spinach and feta in the omelet and its always cooked just right. Along with the omelet you also get a delicious side of home fries. They are shredded potatoes that are crispy on the top and then soft underneath so you get a nice crunch but not too crunchy. My mom always gets the red pepper and goat cheese omelet, which again is just a great constantly good omelet. Other favorites include the chicken caesar salad, hot roast beef sandwich and the chicken salad. Some extra tips: Parking behind the restaurant can be a nightmare. trying parking out front or on the street. In the winter they inclose the outside seating and it is actually warm out there and will most likely allow you to get a table faster if you agree to sit "outside"

Robin Y.
My favorite breakfast place in the Devon/Wayne area. Can be hard to get a table, especially when the outdoor seating isn't available. However, they have a great selection of things, and I love coming here for brunch with my friends. Highly recommended, especially when you can sit outside- the inside can get really cramped, loud, and hot. Prices aren't rock-bottom, but it's definitely affordable, and the food is worth it. They have some non-conventional things on their menu for breakfast, which makes this a more interesting place to go than Minella's, for instance. Good coffee, as well.

Stopped in here with the special dude for a late breakfast. As others have noted, parking is kind of a mess -- there are limited spots in the back and front, and the lots immediately around the restaurant are private. We ended up parking in the shopping center next door (where there were no ominous signs depicting tow trucks) and trekked on over. The place was hoppin', but we were offered a table right away. We opted to sit at the counter instead. Be advised that if you do this in 10 degree weather like we did, you will get a big, nasty blast of miserable air every time someone opens the door. I was in a "go big or go home" type of mood, so I opted for the banana walnut french toast with two eggs and corned beef hash. Special dude went a little less crazy and ordered cream chipped beef over a biscuit. Our food came out very quickly and was presented nicely, both pleasant surprises considering how busy they were. I was excited to discover that my french toast wasn't sickeningly sweet -- maybe even a little bland. But, that left me enough space to soak it with some maple syrup without going into a sugar coma. It was good, but didn't wow me. The rest of my meal was more disappointing. My eggs were super dry and flavorless, though, and my corned beef hash had a funky underlying taste that I couldn't place my finger on. On the upside, special dude really enjoyed his cream chipped beef. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. We were able to be in and out within about 40 minutes, which was great since we were on our way to an appointment. Overall, I'm glad we gave Nudy's a shot, even if I wasn't blown away by the experience. I'd consider giving them another try again at some point.

This place was an amazing surprise and a great final hurrah as my family and I traveled home from Philadelphia and Valley Forge after a Memorial Day weekend trip. Not wanting to eat at our hotel again, we did a quick search for breakfast stops on an iPhone and this place's name came up. We made the drive expecting to find a small greasy diner. We got something else entirely. When we drove in I realized I never would have picked this place just driving by; it has a very "old" feeling and look to it, and if not for the dining area outside of it you'd never know it was a cafe. It looks more like an old house. The place was busy and noisy, but there was no wait at all. Opening the menu I found myself completely torn between about five different items. In the end I got the Lox & Cream Cheese Platter, which was the last thing I spotted as the waitress asked me what I wanted. Everyone else at the table ordered the pumpkin spiced pancakes or pumpkin bread french toast, so I had ample opportunity to try those as well, and I promise: they were a little slice of heaven. But I'm so glad I got what I did! Everything on my platter was so fresh, and the way it was served I could put exactly the amount I wanted of salmon, tomatoes, etc. on my bagel. The result was that I enjoyed an amazing breakfast that didn't leave me feeling too full or guilty for eating an entire bagel with toppings. Our waitress was also a dear and extremely attentive; you'd never know how busy it was just based on the frequency of her interactions with us. This out of towner fully and highly recommends Nudy's, and I will be back again if my travels take me in this place's direction!

I seriously love nudy's!!!! It is a tight fit but the food and service are worth it. Sit at the lunch bar if you can, I love seeing my food cooked! When you can sit outside do it, it's lovely. Everything I have ever had there is amazing and I've been there like 50 times!!

Disgusting and unsanitary--Nudy's Cafe is a new stand at the Strafford Farmer's Market. You can watch them make your food, and I watched the cook prepare my lunch--without wearing gloves, and frequently wiping his hands on his clothes. When I brought this up, rather than prepare my food in a sanitary manner the cook opted to argue with me that he didn't need to. At least they gave me a refund.

We stopped in for Breakfast the other day. Was very crowded but the wait itself was not that bad. Gotta say I've become a fan. I had the Belgian Waffle which was light and fluffy, side of sausage and coffee, my GF had the Greek Omelet. Both were outstanding and the coffee wasn't bad either. Prices were reasonable no complaints. Only negative were the annoying Flies!! They really have got to so something about them. Food was good and overall would have been 5 stars if not for the pests.

Nudy's is getting an extra star for a couple of reasons. 1) I discovered during the winter, they put a tent over the side seating area that is usually open when the weather is nice. So much better than sitting inside and the heaters and everything out in the tent keep things nice and warm. I love it. 2) The pancakes. I like cooking and cook all the time, but I can't make Nudy's pancakes at home. I just can't. I'm sure they are a zillion calories, but I don't care. Sunday brunch at Nudy's is the best.

Had brunch at Nudy's for a second time and was even more disappointed than the first time we ate there. The food is nasty. Crab Benedict had canned dried up mystery meat on it with mashed hash browns on the side. Let's hope I don't get sick from the crab! Corned beef hash looked and tasted like I would imagine canned dog food tastes like. Never coming to any Nudy's again.

Nudy's is a great place to go for a quiet brunch or quick sit down lunch with your coworkers. I have had the pleasure of coming here for both occasions. Service is always great and fast. I've had their signature pancakes with sunny side up eggs and bacon on the side and their chicken quesadilla. Both were delicious. Definitely will be coming back again

Breakfast is at its best at Nudy's. The Apple Cake French Toast, however, was good enough to turn anyone into a "Nudist.' Think thick slices of apple and cinnamon pound cake, dipped and fried, covered in fried apples and cinnamon butter. YUM! I also tried the Tuscan Omelette, which had prosciutto, sharp provolone, tomato, and fresh spinach. It was real prosciutto, not just the cooked ham that some restaurants call prosciutto. The provolone was quality as well and all the vegetables fresh and delicious. I was told by others in my group that lunch was great too. I'm going to have to wait to find out as I have to work my way through the breakfast menu first.

I've been twice, and it hasn't failed yet. The best pancakes ever! Love their bacon. It's crispy but still chewy. Definitely need to try the pumpkin spice pancakes! They are amazing! The only downfall is the place is tiny so it's a bit cramped inside. Definitely going to check it out more on a nice spring/summer day and sit on the patio.

When we arrived there wasnt much seating inside so we were asked if we wanted to sit in the covered area outside, which we did. There are several tables outside under cover with heaters and fans. The service was great and we were brought coffee and water right away. We ordered and the food showed up pretty quick through a window from the kitchen. I had the farmers omelet with hash browns. The hash browns were a bit soggy for my liking but still tasted ok. My son didnt care for the chocolate chip pancake too much so I finished that too. Its a nice place and I look forward to eating again if we are ever in the area.

I and my wife visited this cafe on Martin Luther king. Our server was very kind and quick. The quality of the good was good and we enjoyed it a lot. Over all worth it experience we almost spent 30 dollars including tip..
(5)Olivia M.
Everything you would expect at a spectacular brunch place - amazing french toast, creative pancakes, folks who know how to cook scrapple right, good coffee, no-nonsense wait staff and occasionally a long wait. Highly recommend.
(4)Frank R.
Nudy's is one of my absolutely favorite places for breakfast. And if you get up early on the weekends in the summer (say, before 8), you can snag an outside table, enjoy the sun...and their fabulous banana walnut pancakes. Their swiss cheese omelet is great...so is the smoked salmon omelet. If you get there after 9, be prepared to wait a bit. But it's worth it. If we're only 2, we sometimes sit at the counter. It's tight...but convival. Bring cash. And an appetite. (But please don't go before 8 on Sundays...I still want my table.)
(5)Suzy G.
A great place to have breakfast! The first time I was here I had the banana nut belgian waffle. It came loaded with nuts, bananas, whipped cream and butter and was incredibly delicious! My companion wanted iced coffee, and instead of the waitress telling him that they did not have any, she immediately offered a solution that she could bring him a cup of ice with coffee in it. Why can't more waitresses think like that? I cannot tell you how many times we have encountered a sour face with a waitress exclaiming they have NO iced coffee. The next time I went there I had a sausage and cheese omelet with homefries and toast which was excellent. If the weather is nice, I would suggest you eat outside. If you have to eat inside, it is best to sit at the counter, otherwise you cannot carry on a conversation with your dining companion because it is incredibly loud in the dining room. The only major drawback to this place is the minimal parking spaces available.

Breakfast is a passion of mine. For 92 straight weeks I only ate breakfast. I have had everything breakfast has to offer. I came. I saw. I kicked breakfast's ass. Breakfast is comfort food. I remember being six years old, and despite being locked in a steel box out in the sun for 3 days...it was my fault...I coughed during The 1.98 Beauty Pageant...an offense I wouldn't have taken so lightly, but my parents...well...not technically parents...were much more kind than I..and they would slip pancakes under the metal door. I would use half of them to sooth the heat blisters and half would be the sweet treat I craved to eat so badly. My only friend. Now as an old man I think back on those happy moments during breakfast and smile. When forcefully relocated to this area I searched out the best breakfast joints I could find. Most were not good. Most caused me great pain. Most were very quick to throw someone out for standing on their chair screaming "I'll never let you destroy my memories you bastards!" Some people are very sensitive. As I was being dragged screaming and foaming at the mouth out of a lesser eatery someone suggested I go to Nudy's...then the obligatory pinprick and complete darkness. A few weeks after my release I went to Nudy's for a hearty breakfast, and I was not disappointed. Since my first time eating there I have gone back several times. Everything from their omelets to their pancakes are terrific. They have an excellent selection geared towards virtually everyone. People who want the sweet pancakes with syrup and whipped cream will be in their own personal heaven...people who just want a great protein omelet with their choice of meat and cheese will be thrilled...and people who want something more sophisticated like eggs benedict or a great hollandaise sauce will be very, very happy. The best part of Nudy's, and the thing that keeps me coming back is the service. Sure, it is cheap. Sure, it is good, Sure, they use great ingredients...but the friendly and accomidating service is what will always keep me coming back.

Friends recommended this breakfast spot. I have to say I was disappointed. We should have opted to sit outside, but instead were seated in the small dining room. The first thing that I noticed was the unpleasant smell inside. A dank smell that permeated the room which was being unsuccessfully masked by a heavily perfumed air freshener. Then came the over abundance of black flies that were unavoidable. Landing on the walls, food and on the diners. This really made me weary of eating the food. A trip to the restroom uncovered no toilet paper in either of the individual restrooms, and both were filthy. The food was well presented and the server was very pleasant, friendly and attentive. But after sharing the pumpkin bread French toast and prosciutto omelette I found that they both tasted average and nothing special. If this were a dive restaurant with dive prices I would have been more understanding. I won't be returning, but if you believe the hype, be sure to sit outside and don't discover what's behind the curtain.

After coming to Nudy's for a late breakfast yesterday, I'm a true Nudist! I came here once for lunch a long, long time ago and found it cramped and too busy to really enjoy. Thankfully, my friend talked me in to going again. On a beautiful Saturday, this place, tucked behind the main thoroughfare in Wayne, was packed enough that we had to wait for a table. Thankfully, my friend put in his name a little earlier and we were quickly seated. Not long after, the waitress took our orders: one set of chocolate chip pancakes and eggs florentine, both of which came out piping hot within five minutes. My pancakes were sweet and moist, with ample bits of chocolate throughout. Syrup, butter and whipped cream made this the perfect indulgence for a lazy Saturday. My friend's eggs were served on an english muffin with the usual accouterments and nummy hash browns. Both dishes were scarfed down quickly. The drawbacks to Nudy's are few. There's little to no parking and the other businesses won't let you use their lots, so take your changes with street parking. The place is SO loud that any chances of conversation are slim to nil, though it may be a bit better if you sit on the enclosed patio. Service also seems to fly quickly, making it a rather rushed experience. All in all, if you want good food at a reasonable price, Nudy's is a great breakfast and lunch spot. PS: Their breakfast options are available all day long.

Always a of Nudy's. It's a great breakfast/brunch place to meet up with friends or take family. I wouldn't recommend larger groups (greater than 6) since it's a cozy little place. I'm a big breakfast fan so I can't speak to the rest of the menu but I'm always torn between their delicious pancakes (pecan chocolate chip!) or omelettes. The service is fast and always been friendly.
(4)Melissa P.
Nudy's gets a solid 3 from me. It was very good, but I felt a little slighted by the lackluster stalk and a half of asparagus on top of my eggs benedict. Our French server was delightful and very prompt. One visit to Nudy's is worth it- I'm not sure I have an insatiable urge to go back any time soon. If I do, I'll order the gingerbread pancakes and some scrapple. The hash browns are good btw, request them well done for a little more crunch for your munch! :)
(3)Sheetal D.
We are regular at this place but today was disappointing. I had ordered a southwest omelet with egg white and they served be some weird scramble and probably wasn't even egg white. And my husband ordered a veg panini and he was served cold sandwich with cheese and tomato. This used to be my favorite brunch places
(2)Pinky T.
We love Nudy's for outdoor breakfast in the summer. Pancakes and omelets are all very good. Service is pleasant. Have also tried for lunch but nothing outstanding there. Breakfast is the thing. Enjoy on a nice summer morning.
(4)Brian M.
Best breakfast spot on the main line even if it's a little hidden it's worth finding
(4)S L.
Great cozy and friendly place but many flies.....
(3)Jeff M.
No idea why this place is on a wait for breakfast. Nudy's is OK - one step up from a dinner. They do offer interesting pancakes though.
(2)Chris W.
Great breakfast food. We made it for 10 am and there was no wait. When left at 11:30 on Saturday there was a long wait. Try to get there early to avoid a wait. It had a nice outside seating option.
(5)Betts C.
The gingerbread pancakes were amazing. Huge portion- way too much food, but delicious. And I may sound crazy saying this, but I love oatmeal. A lot. And this was some soundly good oatmeal. It's cute and diner-y, but with really sweet staff who actually know people (though not me, a complete outsider) by name. Seriously, I wish I could actually have eaten more than I already did. And maybe had actually been hungover so the coffee/pancake/oatmeal ridiculousness that I devoured could have soaked up booze instead of just filling me up completely. All I wanted to do the rest of the day was watch bad television and not move- and thus I did. Mostly, Nudy's also exudes charm but lacks the slight edge of back East money that most places on the Main Line includes. The kitsch is actually genuine and pretty easily appreciated.
(5)Kevin J.
The banana Walnut French toast are amazingly! Nudy's is a great place to take the family for Sunday brunch. Their bacon is very crispy and they gave you a good portion. It's kind of small so I would try to keep your party size small maybe a maximum of six people. Overall I can't wait to go back!!!
(4)Paul C.
Breakfast in Devon- Great food, great selections. Good coffee. large and attractive portions. Our waiter Joe got us in and got us out quickly without rushing us.
(4)Matt M.
Love Nudy's Cafe - we've come for breakfast and lunch, always leave having a great experience and wanting to come back for more. Their breakfasts are one of my favorite in the area. Definitely give Nudy's a shot but be ready to wait for a table if you come for breakfast/brunch because its a popular place, and rightfully so!
(5)Alyssa S.
The most amazing cafe for weekend brunch! My friends and I love the cozy atmosphere and delicious food--definitely try the banana walnut pancakes! Very affordable, generous portions, and great quality.
(5)Valerie S.
Just had lunch at Nudy's with some colleagues - it was the first time I'd ever been there. The service was really fast - our food was out before we knew it. I had the Tuscan Omelet (prosciutto, tomatoes, sharp cheese and spinach) which was good and some shredded hash browns. I was happy with my meal and I think the four people with me enjoyed theirs too. We sat in the outside patio area which would have been great had there not been HOT air blowing on us pretty much the entire time. But other than that, no complaints...
(4)Jordyn R.
So I was really excited to get the Crab Benedict and ultimately pretty disappointed in it. I have a feeling the crab meat was fake or canned and nothing was done to it to dress it up, which was sad. The fried home-fries were great though. My boyfriend got a breakfast sandwich with sausage on a bagel and it was really good. There was also a guy sitting next to us who got blueberry pancakes that looked absolutely delicious. I'm definitely willing to give it another try, but just be warned about the Crab Benedict.
(3)Nate H.
Loved the brunch me and my girlfriend had here today. Waitresses made us laugh and gave us great service. Very happy we went, and we will be coming back. The food was awesome!
(5)Danny A.
A charming and relaxed spot with fantastic breakfast /brunch options. I loved and highly recommend the pumpkin pancakes - just the right amount of pumpkin flavors with perfectly executed pancakes. Friendly service, too.
(5)Yasuji M.
Nice cafe/diner I love to have breakfast and lunch. Selections are good and staffs are nice. No surprise but consistent high quality foods. ---perhaps I am overly critical today. Quality of food is close to five stars. However, id like to experience wow for five stars.
(4)Willi H.
This was one of the worst breakfasts I have had at a restaurant. We weren't looking for anything gourmet or innovative in a breakfast joint, but what made this experience awful was that Nudy's screwed up the basics. The "home fries" were a mushy, tasteless glob. My omelette was dry, tough and tasted strongly of margarine. The coffee was weak and had an unpleasant flavor. I was with a party of four, and it only took about 10 minutes from the time we ordered to the food being on our table. I guess you shouldn't complain about speedy service, but this is extreme, and it's obvious that the kitchen puts little effort into making quality food. They have a huge menu, but they should just focus on doing a few things well. The ambience doesn't make up for the bad food. We sat under the tent on the concrete patio. It was loud and, simply, there's nothing nice to look at; Nudy's is surrounded by your typical Main Line parking lots. The service isn't great...lots of young waitstaff just hanging around, slow to bus tables and fill coffee. I should also add that I joined Yelp specifically to make this review! I wouldn't return to Nudy's or recommend it to anyone.
(1)Dave H.
Try Nudy's Lox & Cream Cheese platter ($7.95): Cuts of smoked salmon, tomatoes, capers, red onions, cucumbers, and cream cheese, served with a crunchy toasted bagel sliced in half. A delicious combination, it's worth every penny. Last I was here, we enjoyed brunch on the side porch, relaxing in the sun. Solid service, as usual.
(4)Jennie S.
Had the California Benedict and it was very good. Home fries are actually hash browns and be forewarned the Pumpkin Spice Pancakes contain no actual pumpkin. I'm glad i asked before I ordered them; I would have been sadly disappointed. And the coffee they serve is pretty terrible. Oh and they deep fry their bacon- gross!
(3)Sara A.
I went for brunch for my friend's birthday and had a delightful time! For starters, we went in early March, so it was still a bit chilly when there was no sun, and Nudy's had a covered tent outside, so that was awesome. The food was great - I had a southwestern chicken omelet with bacon and toast on the side. They kept the cranberry juice flowing! Every staff member there was really nice, and I appreciated that we were not rushed out of our seats. They didn't seem to mind that we chatted a bit after finishing brunch. I would recommend sitting outside, as the inside is a bit cramped and loud.
(4)Jason K.
Breakfast basics are respectable with above average pancakes. Outside seating area is buzzing with flies. There were plates of leftover food for at least an hour on one of the tables. Coffee was a bit weak. Servers nice enough but spend too much time socializing and not enough cleaning and checking on customers.
(2)Kamper G.
Amazing little sweet spot hidden away off the main line. Space is tight inside the tiny dining room, but that's what gives Nudy's it's character. You can taste the home, love and thoughtfulness in the breakfast food unlike some other diners that just produce and serve edible plates. It's probably the cheapest you can find in the area. They surely would be able to charge more for these heavenly experiences they serve. This was my first favorite place since moving to this area. Minus one star for the endless pack of ditzy hostesses.

Decided to meet up with a group of friends for brunch here - 5 adults, 2 kids -late on a crummy-rainy-bonechiller Sunday morning. I arrived about 10 minutes early and put our name on the waiting list for a table and was told it would be about 10-15 minutes. Perfect! Granted I had to wait outside under an umbrella and shiver because I would otherwise be hovering over someone's table inside, I was pleased we could be seated that soon. Two of my friends arrived, the family of four said they were running a little late and our names were called and I asked if it was a problem that our whole party wasn't here yet and they said absolutely not, we won't make you wait in the rain and cold. They seated us in the patio area which was covered with a plastic tent and heated with a propane heater that we were right next to which was very welcome. The server took our drink order right away and our remaining friends joined us shortly thereafter. It took us a little while for everyone to get settled in and since some of us were meeting for the first time, we were chatty and not focused on the menu. Never felt rushed. We all ordered and it wasn't long before our food started coming out. The kid's food came first, then mine and my two non-parent friends. And then nothing. The waiter stopped by a moment later, and we hadn't started eating because not everyone had been served - and he asked if everything tasted ok so far. We kind of looked at him funny and then he said to the two who hadn't been served, well you didn't order anything, right? And we all thought he was joking. But he wasn't. He seemed to have stopped taking orders afte the kid's had placed their orders. He apologized profusely for his mistake and said the food would be up shortly. It took maybe another 10 minutes. He apologized again and continued to be attentive throughout. About mid-way through the meal, the heater stopped working, so we began to get very cold very fast. Though our waiter said they were getting some more propane and appeared to be hooking it up, we did not see it's warmth again. When our check came he said we didn't have to worry about the kid's meals which I thought was well handled. Three of us had a Tuscan omelet which was beautifully done, and the hash browns were delicious. I had no complaints. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals when they eventually came. I would definitely give Nudy's another shot, maybe on a more pleasant day. Despite its flubs, they recovered well and the food was great.
(4)Greg S.
Bees, bees everywhere...not a place to hide. Clearly the owner can care less about the massive bees issue as this seems to be an ongoing problem. I guess it will take people getting stung to do something about it. We went today and left as soon as they sat us on the patio as were swarmed by bees. Don't know how the food was as we didn't get a chance to try it.
(1)Samantha W.
Went for an early Sunday brunch with the boyfriend's family and enjoyed our experience. There were 8 of us and it was only a 20 minute wait for outdoor seating. Each plate had huge portions and I was impressed with the fresh strawberries on my belgian waffles. Didn't experience the fly problems that so many other reviews mentioned, but we went on a crisp fall morning so that might have had some effect on it. Also, their website does not list all locations, as one of us headed to the location in Phoenixville while the rest of us were in Wayne...
(4)Brian M.
Ever wanted to have breakfast or lunch in Calcutta but didn't want to endure a 24 hr flight to India? Well now you can. It's not that Nudy's serves anything remotely similar to Indian food. Rather, its the swarms of flies buzzing about your Banana Walnut Pancakes and Breakfast Burritos and hanging off the walls and ceiling that will make you think you've been transported to the streets of Calcutta! I hadn't been to Nudy's in a while and was happy to find that they had done some major redecorating (as it was sorely needed). However, after ordering breakfast I was overtaken with the feeling that the walls and ceiling were moving. That they were reaching out and tickling my leg. Then I realized the walls and ceiling were alive with flies. There were flies everywhere! What needs to be said about the the food and service? Well it doesn't really matter - the flies are the thing you remember most!
(1)Steve C.
Rock solid service and food!
(5)Olive J.
Do not eat here! They have mice and cockroaches and the owner refuses to do anything about it. Inside is very dirty and the bathrooms are by far the grossest bathrooms I've ever seen. Food is mediocre at best.
(1)Keith B.
Wonderful food, great staff. Unfortunately the place gets super busy at breakfast time, and the seating inside is Very TIGHT. Be prepared to bet bumped into a lot. Most times your chair is touching the chair behind you.
(3)Siv L.
Came here for brunch with my boyfriend and sister's boyfriend who raved about the menu (salmon florentine). I ordered a simple 2 fried eggs with wheat toast, homefries, and a side of canadian bacon. It was a good but average meal. Didn't like how there was already butter on my toast (since I don't like butter). On my way out I saw the bacon and it looked sooo delicious I wished that I had ordered some. The prices here are very good (quite inexpensive compared to any dining places in NY!). I will order something more adventurous the next time I dine here.
(3)Richard K.
This is absolutely my favorite brunch place, in part due to the delicious, and sometimes hip interpretations of, traditional comfort food, in part due to its charmingly rustic ambiance, and certainly in part to the quick and attentive service (my coffee mug is always filled). Of course, it doesn't hurt that it's close to my homestead. I try to frequent this place as often as my schedule allows. Please, DON'T try it because I don't want my favorite local joint to become too popular/busy....
(5)Elisaina D.
Very solid breakfast spot. Ate here for the first time yesterday and will be back. I asked for eggs poached medium and that's exactly what I got. This is not a difficult feat to pull off, yet it seems to evade most breakfast places I've been. Decor could use some freshening up but love Nudy's for what it is - like I said before, a very solid breakfast spot. Will be back!
(4)Nathan B.
Breakfast is my favorite meal but I think I've been spoiled by some of my hometown favorites because Nudys didn't live up to my expectations. Nothing was bad or poorly executed it just seemed mundane, nothing to write home about.
(2)Michelle A.
everything is good, especially the french toast and pancakes but i jus really cant stand the interior.... its boring n uninviting... the spacing between the tables is weird...the arrangment of the tables just didnt look nice to me...
(4)KP R.
food was good, service and the ease of "check in / check out" process was a nightmare...strawberry cheesecake french toast was good... waitresses assume everyone is just a college student or something and will treat you accordingly...and good luck finding parking on a busy day.
(2)Netty P.
Spectacular breakfast. Best in area. Gourmet pancakes excellent eggs benedict and florentine. Highly recomend.
(4)Jessica M.
Very busy, but worth the wait - smoked salmon Benedict and the lox omelet are good. Nice & noisy and fun. Recommend, unless you are in a big hurry. On a nice day, can't beat the outdoor seating!
(4)Rob R.
It took some time to get over the awkward feeling I had about visiting a place called Nudy's. After all, brunch with the family should rarely involve anything so risque. Awkwardness in tact, I decided to stray from my normal brunch order. Normally, I'm a eggs and bacon kinda guy. If I'm feeling extra frisky, I'll spring for a side of yogurt. But not today... I went off the deep end and ordered Belgium waffles and turned out to be pleasantly surprised. The plate was well portioned with bananas and they didn't presumptuously add syrup or copious amounts of sugar. The dining room was filled (not surprisingly... because it's tiny), so we ventured outdoors. Fortunately, it was nice enough day outside. Overall, we were happy with our seating choice. The rest of the fam seemed to enjoy their plates and in the end, I'm happy I visited this little cafe.
(4)Papa W.
Food was excellent if you aren't on a diet. Atmosphere takes away the star. We sat outside in 88 degree weather because it was hotter inside. And flies become a problem. I had peach French toast and it was very good for a restaurant. Wife had blueberry pancakes. She really enjoyed them. Definitely a must eat place.
(4)Suzie G.
We think this place is great now that we've learned what to order. The service has always been good. Parking isn't fun, but we just park at whole foods now and nobody has seemed to notice thus far.
(4)Carolyn H.
Great breakfast food. Good, fast service. A little too crowded for comfort though. No wait area except outside which is okay in the summer but not so much in the winter. I understand it is a popular spot but they don't need to squish people in like sardines.
(4)Jillian N.
We've gone for brunch twice and have enjoyed it a lot both times. We were willing to sit outside and got seated immediately even on what seemed to be a fairly busy Sunday. They have a nice patio out front, as well as a covered patio over on the side of the building. This time, I had pumpkin bread french toast with a side of bacon. The french toast was awesome, but very rich and sweet; I didn't finish it. The bacon was cooked perfectly and was yummmmy! My husband had a burger, which he said was very good, as were the fries. Overall, the service was excellent start to finish and the food was delicious. All the food coming out around us also looked really good. I'm excited to come back here again!
(4)RT R.
Solid brunch food! We went on July 4th, so weren't sure if it was open, but they were. We went late so got a table easily - I had the fish tacos - quite yummy. My hubby had the crabcake sandiwch - his was much more flavorful. Seems like a great neighborhood place to grab a bite.
(3)Stephanie H.
Great spot for breakfast. Pancakes and French toast are the best. Usually busy so be prepared for a wait.
(3)Matthew F.
Keeping in mind this is the burbs, Nudy's is a great little place for brunch on the weekends. Its small and the interior isn't the best, however the food was excellent, came out ultra-fast (great when you have little kids) and the price was about average for the area. Servers were friendly college kids. Just remember the seating is really tight so if you don't like small places, eat outside on the patio. Wife and kids will be going back to Nudy's often.
(4)Meredith B.
While the food and service here at Nudy's for breakfast is usually ok, the outdoor dining room area is often filthy and unpleasant. Our tables often had dried food in the table metal mesh top. The sun barrels in the clear plastic windows the morning, and there's no way to block its rays while you try and eat and converse, rendering your meal a chore to finish. When its hot, they have a big, dirty fan that is loud and blows air across the room, and when its cold, there an equally unpleasant heater. So while the food is alright here, and the service is usually good, eat on the outside terrace or in the interior dining room and avoid the outdoor covered dining room.
(3)Kerry C.
I love going for breakfast/brunch here. They have so many delicious flavors of pancakes and French toast, but nothing compares to the pumpkin spice. Lots of outdoor seating which I love. Staff is always really great and very attentive even when it gets super crowded on weekend mornings.
(5)Michelle K.
Nudy's is one of my favorite breakfast places of all time. My friend and I often ask for substitutions and they are more than happy to accommodate us. I personally love the granny smith pita pocket or the banana walnut pancakes (just ask and they'll add chocolate chips). Sometimes it can get crowded, especially the parking lot, and they close by three so make sure to get there at a decent hour for brunch.
(5)Maureen V.
My friends and I met for breakfast Sunday morning. The hostess said the wait for four would be about 15 minutes and it ended up being around 30. When we were seated we immediately noticed the dozen or so flies buzzing around. Have you heard of fly paper ribbons?! Come on... To add to that, it was EXTREMELY loud and not a pleasant breakfast. It was a relief to finally get outside (even though the temperature was 93 degrees) as it felt like the AC must have been off in the restaurant. Our waitress was a bit aloof and not very friendly as well. We almost had to pull on the strings of her apron to get her attention. Food quality and taste are not the best and the portions are not as big as you would expect at a true diner. But hey, we didn't really like the food anyway. Have been to Nudy's twice and decided the sub-par food isn't worth coming back for in exchange for the negative experience we had. Definitely not coming back.

Yummy, fresh food! The omelette was great, very fresh veggies. Service was good. They seated us quickly even on a weekend morning and food came out fast! Pancakes were light and kids asked for more! Appe cake french toast was ok. A bit mushy for me but flavor was good. I don't know why we haven't gone sooner. It was a couple bucks more than a regular diner, but so much better!

I had to make a trip outside of the city this weekend, and I wanted to stop at a new place for breakfast. I had heard about Nudy's cafe, all the way out in Wayne, and I was excited to see what it was all about. Nudy's is off a small street, and there were cars parked along the side of the street; the parking lot was full and there were still more people pouring. Amazingly, Holly Z and I only waited about five minutes for a table. There are two really great outdoor seating areas, one is covered so you can still eat outside if it's drizzling a bit. Inside Nudy's is a bustling little diner scene as well. Immediately I noticed how cheap the prices are. Living in the city I have come to expect to pay at least $10 for brunch, but nothing at Nudy's topped $8. I ordered Crab Benedict, which included poached eggs, lump crab meat, and asparagus on English muffins with Hollandaise sauce. Holly ordered one of their "signature" omelets. Our food came out quickly, and overall the service was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and didn't rush us despite the fact that he was obviously busy. I'm not sure if it's because of my high expectations for this specific location, or the kind of bruncheries I frequent in the city, but I was disappointed with Nudy's. First off, the coffee was water flavored coffee; very weak. When my dish came out, I was disappointed with the meager two spears of asparagus, but it was even worse that they were limp and flavorless. In fact, my dish was bland on the whole. Holly seemed to agree for her meal as well. The best compliment we could agree on was that "It's better than Denny's." Maybe for the area, this spot is great. Maybe I've become too much of a critic. Either way, I was not impressed with Nudy's. I might go here rarely if it was around the corner, but there's not a chance it's worth any driving. Which is sad, because it would be great to find an amazing and secluded place. Nudy's was still hoping, so apparently they are doing something right. Just not for me.

Always a good breakfast at Nudy's. And there's always a wait for a table. But why are there at least one dozen flies roaming about the dining room? Breakfast should be enjoyable, not a session in dodging or swatting flies. Maybe Karate Kid eats here.

As a word to the wise, I recommend that when you attempt to find this place by plugging the name into your iphone, you 1)spell it correctly and 2)be sure to have the "cafe" part of the name included. Nuff said. We went for brunch on a Sunday, and the wait was about 20 minutes, which wasn't horrible considering the number of people milling around waiting. The food was adequate but nothing to write home about compared to some of the amazing brunches I've had in Philly. I had the pumpkin bread french toast, which came with cream cheese spread instead of butter. It was very sweet (as expected) and pretty good though I'd probably order something else if I returned here. I supplemented with a side of bacon, which was fairly bland and chewy. I love me some bacon, so this was quite disappointing. The service was efficient, and it was great to be able to sit out on the patio enjoying the 60-degree March day which is really the only reason I bumped this up to 3 stars instead of 2. Overall, if I was going to be out in the burbs again for some other reason and it was convenient, I might go back but I definitely wouldn't make a trip all the way out there just to go to this place.

I have been a long time fan of Nudy's. Generally, I have breakfast there about 10 or 12 times per year on special occassions. I must report an unsatisfactory experience yesterday - service was fine, but the food was not. I ordered the bacon and cheese omelet, with potatoes as a side dish. The bacon was pre-packaged "bacon bits" (obviously not cooked by Nudy's). The potatoes were the pre-packaged frozen type and tasteless as well. I had another breakfast there last week and ordered the short-stack pancakes, which were tasty but very small. I did leave hungry. Sure I will keep going to Nudy's because two disappointing experiences over 15 years is not enough to keep me away, but I hope this is not a trend..
(2)Sandra B.
I think this place is really an amazing value. When you compare the quality of the food to what you would get for the same price at a diner, there is actually no comparison. I have been here a few times, usually getting an omelette. They are all good. My husband is partial to the various french toast concoctions. Everything is exceptionally fresh and tasty!
(5)Danan R.
True to my word, I did make it here for brunch this morning and split an order of the crab benedict and apple cake frendh toast. As always, the crab benedict was delectable with perfectly poached eggs and savory hollandaise, topped with plenty of crabmeat and asparagus over a buttered english muffin; I requested the butter because it really does add an extra layer of creaminess. Just trust me on this. The apple cake french toast sounded really different and it was very very good. The cake itself was moist and stuffed with cinnamon apples; add a thin egg batter, whipped cream, more apples, and fresh cinnamon butter and you have a very yummy meal/dessert. It was a bit on the sweet side, though, so I'm not sure if it's a respectable, nutritious breakfast but it sure did taste good. Just make sure that you have some form of protein should you opt to order it so that you don't have a sugar-induced crash later on in the day. It was pretty crowded and busy, but we were pretty comfortable on the side patio and didn't feel rushed at all. We did have to wait maybe 15 minutes for a table, but that was to be expected. Service was friendly and efficient, and our coffee and water was consistently replenished.
(4)I.E. C.
This Update is for the lunch only. To put it simply, the lunch options at Nudy's are just not as good as the breakfast options. Nonetheless they are decent. I recently had the ham and cheese on marble rye, really tasty! However, today I just had the Italian Panini, which sounded excellent on the menu, but I was misled. It lacked in the flavor department and the focaccia bread was a joke and an absolute waste of calories. The prosciutto on it was good, but that was about it. I'll of course keep coming back here b/c I love this place, but I think I'm sticking to the breakfast options.
(3)Suzann S.
Best pancakes I ever had! I have tried all of them, plain, banana, blueberry and I had to try the pumpkin. It was fantastic. One of these days I will try an omelete, until them I am quite content with the coffee and pancakes.
(5)Joann Z.
Suggestion: bee trap for outside and take care of the fly problem inside and I will come back. Yuk! It's like my trips to Third World countries! Gross! All the flies sitting on utensils of unoccupied tables waiting for YOU to put it in your mouth and dig into your food! I counted 8 flies on one table. Yummy!
(1)Jackie R.
Favorite breakfast place on the Main Line - I've never had anything I didn't like there. The creamed chipped beef on biscuits is out of this world. Also, the crab and asparagus omelette is amazing. The place is small and a little cramped, but the food is just great. We always have wonderful service whenever we're there regardless of how busy it is. Looking forward to our next visit!
(5)Craig F.
A good breakfast. Service was very quick and friendly! We had the eggs Benedict and the crab tomato omelet. Both were tasty, but just needed something to take the flavors to the next level.
(3)Tim D.
Been hitting Nudys this summer and breakfast has always been very good. So give it a try!
(4)S C.
Great place for bfast. Excellent Service. Parking is a challenge at times.
(4)Dan G.
We've been to Nudy's many times and is excellent for breakfast... usually a little crowded during normal breakfast hours, but between times is not too bad... friendly wait staff, outdoor seating and great recipe selections make Nudy's more than just the usual Diner. Still talk about the Pumpkin Pancakes during last holiday season. Update Mar 02, 08: another visit to Nudy's... the best breakfast in the Wayne area... sat at the counter and service and food was better than good... very hot coffee... eggs over easy, bacon and hash browns crispy as requested and the Banana - Walnut Pancakes... heavenly!
(4)Lynn V.
Prices are good. Most items are under $8, $10 for seafood. Their parking situation is terrible, so make sure you go before the rush.
(3)Vinyasa G.
Heard good things about this place, so was very disappointed when we took family who was visiting us for the first time here for breakfast. Out of 5 people, the only one that liked their food was the 8 year old, who just got a fruit salad. The crab eggs Benedict had no flavor and was dry. potatoes were cold, even the yogurt was bad. The place was not that crowded. No plans on going back
(1)Angelique I.
This place used to be great, but has really gone downhill in the last year. Both my mother and I go seafood poisoning from the crab omelet. When we called them to warn them about the bad seafood, they did not even offer a refund. The cooks are just not as good as they used to be. The omelets were more like scrambled eggs that were tough and overcooked with no flavor and grease.
(1)J. C. G.
This place has fantastic breakfast/brunch foods and a wait to match. The only way to get to it is to have someone run you off Lancaster Ave (headed west), landing you on otherwise relatively useless Conestoga Rd. If you need another reason to go, envision the conversation with your mother in law: "I'm taking your daughter out for sausage at Nudy's."
(4)Jae R.
Mm. I don't know what was the big deal about this place. It was nothing special in terms of food. First the restaurant was filled with generic tables. I think IHOP would look so much better. Mind you... I love restaurants with old, simply look that makes you feel like either you are away from home, or you are transported to somewhere interesting. I traveled this far to eat this generic breakfast...not a fan.
(3)Meg S.
Great breakfast. Small, but worth the wait. And consistent.
(5)jeff o.
This place is just OK. If there is a line for a table (common on the weekends) I will eat elsewhere. They have a solid selection of pancake options, including a decent pumpkin pancake available year-round. However, if you want my repeat business, your coffee has to be AT LEAST decent. No so at Nudy's....very weak. The small-sized juice is seemingly smaller than a dixie cup, which is annoying. if you go there during a busy summer morning, be prepared to sweat off a few pounds as the 5000btu air conditioners don't cool the joint very much.....blah
(3)Emmy K.
It's hard for me to only give Nudy's one star. The food is amazing! We used to get up early on Sunday mornings so we could beat the rush and secure a table here. Then it happened. We sat down at a window table and noticed ants. Not just one or two...a huge infestation of them. We discreetly pulled the waitress aside to notify her of the problem. She acted like it was a non-issue! She offered to move us to a different table, but did nothing about the huge ants running everywhere! While I understand that this is a common problem, it's the reaction that made me question the cleanliness of the entire place. Will never return.
(1)Melissa V.
Try the pumpkin pancakes, delicious!
(4)Lisa G.
I love Nudy's. It's my favorite place to get breakfast in the wayne area, but I keep coming back for the same thing. I get the banana walnut pancakes and have them add chocolate chips (and a side of bacon). They are the best, THE BEST! Their granny smith pita pocket is also good and my parents like their omelets. I only give it 4 stars because there are a number of items on the menu that really aren't very good, which is one of the reasons I just stick to my favorite every time.
(4)Graham T.
Nice and cozy environment with quaint outdoor seating make this place enjoyable. Food selection is unique and it all sounds delicious. The entrees/breakfasts that I have ordered have been tasty but not amazing - but good enough that I will return when I have the chance. Coffee was decent and service was respectable.
(4)Nicole C.
Nudy's has great breakfast and lunch food. Everything tastes homemade, not like a diner, and it is a very friendly and cozy environment. The owners are locals and the wait staff are always pleasant. It is a bit more expensive than a diner-type restaurant but the food is WELL WORTH IT. They also have outdoor seating year round that is temperature controlled which is a huge plus. I suggest the melba or the breakfast burrito.
(5)Christopher C.
I have been hearing about Nudy's for quite some time, but had never been until this morning. I had heard nothing but good things, and I arrived at around noon on a Sunday with an enormous appetite and optimistic expectations. We sat outside on the patio, nice wrought-iron furniture with gigantic umbrellas. The menu was incredibly promising. Great ideas, but in my experience, poor execution. I ordered the jumbo lump crab omelette with asparagus and bernaise and a side of scrapple. The asparagus was rubber and undercooked. The omelette was bland. My scrapple was undercooked and mush, but maybe that's my fault for not ordering it well done. Then again maybe not. Good toast, though. My girlfriend ordered eggs and bacon, a tough dish to mess up but very good nonetheless. My friend had eggs benedict and they were good as well. All in all, underwhelming would be the best way to describe my experience. I will go back, as there is tons to explore on their extensive menu, but first impressions are everything and Nudy's came up short for me.
(2)Melinda L.
Their banana pancakes...their french toast...yum yum. It is definitely crowded on weekend mornings, but it's worth the wait. This is fantastic breakfast food. The boyfriend and I loved it here.
(4)David F.
Ahhh! Good old Nudy's. Oh no, no, no this isn't a strip joint but rather a great little breakfast and luncheonette with some belly filling meals made with soul and heart. We fell in love with this place when we lived in Wayne and luckily for us they now have one (3 locations) in Phoenixville's emerging downtown. Trust me this is some good breakfast food made with that key ingredient: LOVE!
(4)Eric S.
Love this place. Get there early and allow some time because you are not the only one that knows about the pancakes. They are the best ever. Do not worry it moves fast, I would like some soy milk, but that is the only bad thing I can say.
(5)Savannah H.
Excellent breakfast food!! Pancakes, omelets, etc are all delicious and the wait staff is very friendly. It can get very crowded on the weekends, but it is well worth the wait, and you can often be seated very quickly if you don't mind sitting at the counter. The food is SO much better than Minella's Diner down the street and the wait staff will not treat you like dirt if you happen to be younger than 30. Now if only Nudy's was open 24 hours...
(5)Varun R.
great place for brunch for a good price
(5)Hana L.
Their eggs benedict was mediocre and far from the best I've ever had, but it's nice for an easy affordable brunch if you're in the area.
(3)Jake A.
This is my favorite spot for breakfast. I like the French toast here which is honestly the best in the area. They have a very good menu but I didn't really like some of the choices on there. The coffee is also a bit too strong for me. But they have great omelettes, so that's a huge plus going for them.
(5)Julia L.
It's the quintessential no frills brunch place. The prices are decent, the service is very friendly, and the portions are perfect. We stumbled upon this place after my SO insisted on reliving his grad school days where he would eat a hearty meal at Nudy's before going to cram for an exam he should've been studying for a week before. To his surprise, there were multiple locations of Nudy's and they were "only 3 stars"???? He knew I was an avid Yelper and he was set on proving the other reviews wrong. We arrived around 10AM and the place was already swinging. There's parking in the back and the tables were already filled. I could see how there would be a long wait for a seat here. We were seated immediately, luckily. My SO ordered the seafood omelette which had shrimp, crab and fresh avocados. The seafood was plentiful and had big chunks in every bite. I ordered the ahi tuna florentine, which is like an eggs Benedict with spinach and seared ahi tuna. A good way to have a semi guilt-free brunch. Hearty but not to the point where I need a nap afterwards.
(5)Alicia H.
I read the previous comments and was aware of what I was walking into, hence why my review is 3 stars. The bees outside and the flies inside are nothing to laugh about. It's out of control. The food however is delicious. We were sat outside and got attack by one bee, it was probably the lovely syrup container on the table. Went inside and got attacked by flies. Great way to eat breakfast! I had the French toast with eggs and bacon. Best meal for a great price! Restaurant 3 Food 5
(3)Amanda M.
This place is terrible! Food- I couldn't finish my meal because it tasted so bad. I got the seafood omelette. Crab meat wasn't fresh and the hash browns were under cooked. Asparagus wasn't cooked properly either. Parking - there isn't any Waiting Area - it's outside in the cold. The place is really cramped
(1)Chris L.
I do like this little breakfast/lunch place. They definitely make solid breakfast foods. I like being adventurous with my taste buds and experiment with foods I've never had, so I ordered the lobster benedict. Which is an egg benedict dish with lobster, obviously. I realized I don't like lobster mixed in with my eggs. Hey, sometimes that happens. But my friend loved her omelette, and the few bites that were shared with me were A-OK They get 3 stars for treating customers like sardines. Sure, we went there on a Saturday morning, but I still shouldn't have to stand in a light drizzle in the middle of March. Then when we were seated, I thought I was on some sort of weird double date with the couple sitting behind me. The tables were tetris-ed together. Besides that, though, the staff and food was lovely. Go on a weekday and it'll probably be 4-stars quality.
(3)Bobby F.
the place is nice and small However the food was bland and they didn't know how to properly make eggs Benedict. The eggs were well done and the potatoes were burnt black. I would have forgot the fact that there are flies all over the restaurant(inside the restaurant) all over your table & food if the meal was actually good. I won't eat here again.
(1)Sam L.
I'm on the constant lookout for great breakfast-brunch places on the Main Line and folks had been talking Nudy's up to me for awhile so on a weekday, I finally made it out here. The sweet little establishment is off the beaten path and straddles the line between standard and finer diner, which I think is pretty cool. What wasn't cool? The flies flitting about here, there, and everywhere. But they had a straightforward menu with plenty of breakfast options, including a handful of different eggs benedict selections. Because of that, I was of the assumption that their eggs benedict would probably be on point, and I opted for the standard version with Canadian bacon. It was a fine benedict, but it wasn't superb. For it to be amazing, the hollandaise would have had to really woo me, and theirs was just okay -- not quite the consistency I'd hoped for, with decent flavor. I can make better hollandaise at home, and I have. Additionally, I requested that my breakfast potatoes be well done and they weren't quite there yet. I can make better breakfast potatoes at home, and I have. The eggs were cooked properly, with just the right amount of run. The coffee was terrific. I think Nudy's had only recently changed their supplier to a company in West Chester. Our waitress (who had a lovely disposition and was very competent) informed me that their beans were exclusively available to restaurants when I asked about their coffee. Boo! *thumbs down* I might give them another chance if I was near one (and with multiple locations, there's a strong possibility of that happening in this life). It wasn't terrible food and it wasn't at all expensive, but they need to brush up on their benedict and get rid of those pesky ass flies. 2.5 stars. Dear Yelp, Please include a half star option so we reviewers can review accordingly. Sincerely, Everyone
(2)Lannie L.
Pros: Family atmosphere Reasonable price Good portions Service is decent Good coffee Cons: Nothing extraordinary about the food, typical breakfast- omelet, pancakes, eggs and bacon. Wait time was 34-40 minutes for breakfast Small/cramped waiting area, most people waited outside and it was 20* freezing
(3)Jen L.
I just returned from a trip back home and I've got to say, when I go home I always try to make it to Nudy's for breakfast. While there is often a wait on weekends, my meals have always been worth the wait. I haven't really branched out with the menu, but my favorites are the french toast melba (mmmmmmm raspberry cream sauce) and the breakfast burrito. Fresh guacamole and salsa (rather than the jar stuff) would definitely improve the meal, but I always really enjoy the breakfast burrito anyway. It's enormous and I basically love anything that comes in a tortilla shell. The area for inside seating is small and cramped - if you're able to get it, the best seating is outside under the umbrella tables (not under the tent!) I've had really great service here and sub par service here, but overall it's a solid place to have a decent breakfast. If you've got a sweet tooth, definitely try some of their specialty french toasts. They all look amazing!
(4)Lori C.
Excellent breakfast choices with wonderful relaxing atmosphere, the food was very good. Not to mention best service we've had in a very long time. We are going to time our trip to stop back and eat lunch on our way home from vacation. Look for our next review! ;-)
(5)Patrice R.
Had breakfast here a few days ago while I was visiting from out of town. The food was good but not all that special. The service was excellent. Our waiter took our orders promptly, refilled coffees quickly, and cleared the table as necessary. It was a nice way to spend a dreary, cold, rainy Saturday morning.
(4)Andrew S.
Great experience...food, service - our waitress was very nice and took care of us, would definitely go back when I'm back in the area. Must try the cinnamon bun pancake
(5)David G.
Philly cheese steak omelette really great. Service very good. Plenty of room to sit and found a good parking spot.
(5)Paige B.
Solid reasonably-priced breakfast/brunch. The menu is huge and everything comes out fast. My only suggestion would be for them to keep Sriracha in stock instead of the Louisiana hot sauce currently available.
(3)Nick S.
Busy on a weekend Small and noisy but cozy Fabulous pumpkin French toast and lobster Benedict
(4)Ashley M.
The French toast comes in several varieties and is delish! It's a small venue that's usually pretty crowded but the service is usually fast and the food is pretty good.
(4)Lydia B.
Just came back from nudy's with our whole family including four kids. simple, consistently good food. Nothing too innovative but a great family place. It is not a "fancy" brunch place, but if you want good reliable food... Goto Nuddy's . It is always crowded and always simply good. Our waitress named Alice was very friendly and very talented.
(3)Bill W.
Top tier breakfast spot in western burbs. Great selection of sweet breakfast options (french toasts, specialty pancakes, etc). Great omelets as well. The coffee is pretty bad, however. Loses a star for that.
(4)Julia M.
Stop here for breakfast after visiting the King of Prussia area. Ordered the stuffed French Toast was delicious, cute place with good coffee not too strong like I like it.
(4)Todd S.
Really nice quaint place in Wayne with limited seating. Staff was average this day with a few mistakes, but nothing fatal. Guy waiting forgot to bring the toast and had to be reminded... Happens I guess?? Orange juice was below average for a place like this. Tasted like a store brands attempt at matching tropicana and failed. We ordered 2 omelette-s that arrived in good shape, but mine was minus the cheddar cheese I added. This place could easily be a 4-5star establishment with better management , less socializing(staff), and a attitude to be the best cafe there is. Right now, maybe lower than a diner...wow, but really.
(2)Megh R.
This is a cute little restaurant with mostly decent food. My partner got pumpkin pancakes, which he said were very flavorful, fluffy but not too thick, and came standard with whipped cream, which he fully agrees with. He also said they did a great job at presenting the pumpkin, whereas some restaurants serve pumpkin pancakes that just taste like cinnamon. I got a chicken salad wrap, but the chicken salad was just unseasoned mush. I guess they use shredded chicken, so it had no bite to it, and they definitely did not add enough salt, pepper, etc. I ended up throwing half of it out since neither of us wanted to eat it. The onion rings were great, though. Service was great. Parking is very scarce.
(3)Chris M.
I've been going to Nudy's for a couple years now since moving to the Main Line. I've never had a bad meal, and only once was I upset with the service. (The waiter thought it'd be cool to practice his "long pour" while filling my coffee. Needless to say it ended with me buying a new pair of shorts and almost having to replace my phone. Luckily he is no longer there.) My only gripe is that recently, July / August '14, the bees outside have been TERRIBLE. Multiple times now I've had to box half my meal and leave because I just couldn't stand 3 or 4 bees hovering around my table at a time. Nudy's please do something about this or else my wife and I will not be returning until the weather is cold and the tent is closed off. I will gladly re-review and reward more stars once this issue is resolved.
(3)Hannah G.
This is probably the only place that I go to brunch/breakfast in the area. For one, it's consistent. Although they have quite an array of options on their menu, I tend to always order two eggs, bacon, coffee and hashbrowns. My eggs are always cooked just how I asked and the bacon is always crispy. When I am in the mood for something for lunch, their salads are to die for and their Granny Smith wrap is just delectable. Because there is limited seating and parking, it can be a bit hectic on weekends. Don't be discouraged by the wait--people funnel in and out fairly quickly. With the summer months approaching, the outdoor area is a real treat and a nice place to sit. I gave 4 stars because it is nothing special but is very consistent. I've never been disappointed.
(4)diane g.
Pros: The menu is very impresssive. Hard to decide since there were so many great offerings. We had a wonderful short stack of pancakes. I asked about real maple syrup and they brought it to the table. Excellent service and fast....maybe too fast? Cons: Outside under the tent was very loud... And not from traffic. Just horrible acoustics. Very disappointing lobster Eggs Benedict. Lobster was very fishy tasting and dried out scrappy peices. Hollandaise was flavorless. Coffee was weak. They dont offer espresso. Potatoes were fine. Friends scrambled eggs and ham were fine. Seems like this is a place for pancakes and french toast. Will return to try the french toast but they really need to do something about their coffee.
(3)Jennifer J.
They have the best French toast. I order a short stack of their classic style and it's perfect every time. My coworkers and I frequent this place for late breakfasts and lunches. This is by far the best of the locations.
(4)Rita C.
A small group of friends decided to go out for brunch one day and Nudy's was one of the suggestions. Having never heard of this place, which I'm really surprised about, I was really interested to check it out as a first timer. I have to say parking here is an adventure! if you can't find anything on the street, there's a tiny gravel lot you can go to. Follow the signs! It was really busy on a Sunday morning, so we put our names in and hung out. After a short wait, we were seated in the small, outside eating area and a waitress came over immediately. The menu has a little bit of everything on it, which is great. I ultimately ended up with the crab benedict and it was fabulous! My only gripe is that the asparagus that comes with it was way overcooked, so it kind of just fell apart when I was trying to cut it. Other than that, I was really happy with my order - the flavors were there, it wasn't a small portion, and eggs were cooked perfectly. Everyone else at the table had the pancakes (which are enormous!) and one had the hot roasted pork. Other than "this is too much food," the only thing I heard about the other entrees was that the roasted pork sandwich was bland and boring. Service was excellent, food was pretty good, and the pricing was extremely reasonable. I'd definitely check Nudy's out again!
(3)Piper M.
Delicious, well-priced food! Service was incredibly quick! A fantastic bru I ordered the California eggs Benedict and the homemade cinnamon bun French toast. Both were excellent.
(4)Michele F.
This is by far the best breakfast place in town. Growing up in the area I used to come here very frequently and now whenever I come back home for even a night, I always have to go to nudys breakfast in the morning with my mom. When it comes to breakfast, if you can make a solid omelet then I'm happy and thats what Nudy's does. The consistently make a great omelet. I usually get the spinal and Feta. There is a good amount of spinach and feta in the omelet and its always cooked just right. Along with the omelet you also get a delicious side of home fries. They are shredded potatoes that are crispy on the top and then soft underneath so you get a nice crunch but not too crunchy. My mom always gets the red pepper and goat cheese omelet, which again is just a great constantly good omelet. Other favorites include the chicken caesar salad, hot roast beef sandwich and the chicken salad. Some extra tips: Parking behind the restaurant can be a nightmare. trying parking out front or on the street. In the winter they inclose the outside seating and it is actually warm out there and will most likely allow you to get a table faster if you agree to sit "outside"
(5)Robin Y.
My favorite breakfast place in the Devon/Wayne area. Can be hard to get a table, especially when the outdoor seating isn't available. However, they have a great selection of things, and I love coming here for brunch with my friends. Highly recommended, especially when you can sit outside- the inside can get really cramped, loud, and hot. Prices aren't rock-bottom, but it's definitely affordable, and the food is worth it. They have some non-conventional things on their menu for breakfast, which makes this a more interesting place to go than Minella's, for instance. Good coffee, as well.
(4)M K.
Great breakfast! Had the veggie omelette, and everything else looked delicious too. Excellent service, and nice patio out back.
(5)Lex M.
Stopped in here with the special dude for a late breakfast. As others have noted, parking is kind of a mess -- there are limited spots in the back and front, and the lots immediately around the restaurant are private. We ended up parking in the shopping center next door (where there were no ominous signs depicting tow trucks) and trekked on over. The place was hoppin', but we were offered a table right away. We opted to sit at the counter instead. Be advised that if you do this in 10 degree weather like we did, you will get a big, nasty blast of miserable air every time someone opens the door. I was in a "go big or go home" type of mood, so I opted for the banana walnut french toast with two eggs and corned beef hash. Special dude went a little less crazy and ordered cream chipped beef over a biscuit. Our food came out very quickly and was presented nicely, both pleasant surprises considering how busy they were. I was excited to discover that my french toast wasn't sickeningly sweet -- maybe even a little bland. But, that left me enough space to soak it with some maple syrup without going into a sugar coma. It was good, but didn't wow me. The rest of my meal was more disappointing. My eggs were super dry and flavorless, though, and my corned beef hash had a funky underlying taste that I couldn't place my finger on. On the upside, special dude really enjoyed his cream chipped beef. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. We were able to be in and out within about 40 minutes, which was great since we were on our way to an appointment. Overall, I'm glad we gave Nudy's a shot, even if I wasn't blown away by the experience. I'd consider giving them another try again at some point.

This place was an amazing surprise and a great final hurrah as my family and I traveled home from Philadelphia and Valley Forge after a Memorial Day weekend trip. Not wanting to eat at our hotel again, we did a quick search for breakfast stops on an iPhone and this place's name came up. We made the drive expecting to find a small greasy diner. We got something else entirely. When we drove in I realized I never would have picked this place just driving by; it has a very "old" feeling and look to it, and if not for the dining area outside of it you'd never know it was a cafe. It looks more like an old house. The place was busy and noisy, but there was no wait at all. Opening the menu I found myself completely torn between about five different items. In the end I got the Lox & Cream Cheese Platter, which was the last thing I spotted as the waitress asked me what I wanted. Everyone else at the table ordered the pumpkin spiced pancakes or pumpkin bread french toast, so I had ample opportunity to try those as well, and I promise: they were a little slice of heaven. But I'm so glad I got what I did! Everything on my platter was so fresh, and the way it was served I could put exactly the amount I wanted of salmon, tomatoes, etc. on my bagel. The result was that I enjoyed an amazing breakfast that didn't leave me feeling too full or guilty for eating an entire bagel with toppings. Our waitress was also a dear and extremely attentive; you'd never know how busy it was just based on the frequency of her interactions with us. This out of towner fully and highly recommends Nudy's, and I will be back again if my travels take me in this place's direction!

Excellent pancakes. Pan-Cakes. Whole different ball game - not your ordinary flapjack. Fluffy, cut with a fork goodness. Lots of varieties. Very reasonable prices. Relaxing outdoors. Try gingerbread chocolate chip!

I seriously love nudy's!!!! It is a tight fit but the food and service are worth it. Sit at the lunch bar if you can, I love seeing my food cooked! When you can sit outside do it, it's lovely. Everything I have ever had there is amazing and I've been there like 50 times!!

Disgusting and unsanitary--Nudy's Cafe is a new stand at the Strafford Farmer's Market. You can watch them make your food, and I watched the cook prepare my lunch--without wearing gloves, and frequently wiping his hands on his clothes. When I brought this up, rather than prepare my food in a sanitary manner the cook opted to argue with me that he didn't need to. At least they gave me a refund.

We stopped in for Breakfast the other day. Was very crowded but the wait itself was not that bad. Gotta say I've become a fan. I had the Belgian Waffle which was light and fluffy, side of sausage and coffee, my GF had the Greek Omelet. Both were outstanding and the coffee wasn't bad either. Prices were reasonable no complaints. Only negative were the annoying Flies!! They really have got to so something about them. Food was good and overall would have been 5 stars if not for the pests.

Nudy's is getting an extra star for a couple of reasons. 1) I discovered during the winter, they put a tent over the side seating area that is usually open when the weather is nice. So much better than sitting inside and the heaters and everything out in the tent keep things nice and warm. I love it. 2) The pancakes. I like cooking and cook all the time, but I can't make Nudy's pancakes at home. I just can't. I'm sure they are a zillion calories, but I don't care. Sunday brunch at Nudy's is the best.

Had brunch at Nudy's for a second time and was even more disappointed than the first time we ate there. The food is nasty. Crab Benedict had canned dried up mystery meat on it with mashed hash browns on the side. Let's hope I don't get sick from the crab! Corned beef hash looked and tasted like I would imagine canned dog food tastes like. Never coming to any Nudy's again.

Nudy's is a great place to go for a quiet brunch or quick sit down lunch with your coworkers. I have had the pleasure of coming here for both occasions. Service is always great and fast. I've had their signature pancakes with sunny side up eggs and bacon on the side and their chicken quesadilla. Both were delicious. Definitely will be coming back again
