Nudy's Cafe Wayne

Tried for the first time today. Parking lot packed people waiting for spots. Wait person was Alice who was excellent. My breakfast companion is allergic to gluten. They do not have gluten free breads! I had a tuna classic sandwich on a kaiser roll that was the smallest kaiser I've ever seen. Tuna was bland. I asked for a slice of onion which was on one half and two slices of tomato on one half. I wanted a cup of soup but they only had bowls. My breakfast companion got the crab cake in a salad. That was delicious but probably had gluten in it the salad part did not seem fresh.

We were a group of 7, and despite the space being small, they accommodated well and quickly for our table. The service was fast and efficient; they were friendly as well. The food was pretty good and everything has a hommie feel to it. All the food was abundant and very good; so much food in big plates that the tables felt small.

Traveling with my Golden Retriever this week, I needed a pet-friendly spot—and I’m so glad I found this one! Cozy and inviting outdoor seating made for the perfect start to my morning. I’d been craving Eggs Benedict, and this place delivered on flavor. Brooke was an absolute gem—friendly, attentive, kind, and accommodating. She’s exactly the kind of person every restaurant owner dreams of having on staff. While my poached eggs weren’t as runny as I prefer, Brooke immediately offered to replace them without hesitation. I declined because the dish was still delicious overall. I’ll definitely be back. No doubt about it.

My daughter and I stopped here for lunch on MLK Day to see the new Nudy's. It was PACKED and the servers were hustling. We sat at the counter so we had a front row seat. Even though the phone was ringing off the hook and there were a lot of questions about the Toast POS, they were working together with smiles on their faces. The food was just as great as it is at all of the other locations. Great experience-hope this new spot crushes it!

While waiting to be seated, the hostess was on the phone so instructed us to find an open table outside. We waited at the table without menus and saw party after party be seated with menus, and wait staff take drink orders! I went back inside for menus and the waitress said she'd bring them by. She seemed annoyed when she finally arrived at our table to take our order, but we couldn't order because we *still never got menus*. This was a Tuesday at 11! Not a peak time by any means. Our food was so underwhelming that we didn't even finish. Pictured: Salmon BLT and Monte Cristo.
