Christy is easily one of the best servers I have ever had... it's like she's reading your mind in terms of when you need something or a refill. Personality was a 10/10 as well - my boyfriend and I went on a busy Sunday and it was well worth the wait for the food as well :)

The wait staff at The Nook are always wonderful! Rotating weekly specials make it unique and updated on Facebook which is very convenient. Another convenience is adding to a wait-list and checking the wait online. One option for a side is a pancake so make sure you arrive hungry! I've only had lunch once and the onion rings were delightful.

The food was excellent, first time having eggs Benedict on a corn muffin and it was so delicious. The place was smaller and quaint, the staff was really nice! I would recommend checking it out for sure!

This is a great breakfast place in downtown Dover. Friendly service and delicious meals every time. Never had a bad experience at The Nook. The menu is a little more traditional than some of the other breakfast places. It is absolutely worth a visit.

Me and my girlfriend eat here on the regular! The decor is always cute, staff are always more than helpful & polite & the food is delicious! I've never had a bad dish from this place or a bad experience. My only tip is call ahead because if you just show up it might be a bit of a wait. Also if you're sensory sensitive it might be best to bring ear plugs as it is a smaller eatery that is always hopping.
