Nana’s

Nana’s is a charming breakfast spot that feels like a warm hug the moment you walk in. The inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and comforting menu make it a standout choice for anyone craving a delicious morning meal. The menu features both classic breakfast staples and unique house specialties. Their Nangiettes—delicate, golden-brown pastries with a perfectly crisp exterior and a soft, buttery center—are a must-try for anyone with a love for flaky goodness. The Potato Tart is another standout, with layers of thinly sliced potatoes baked to perfection, topped with a hint of herbs and cheese for a rich, savory bite. And for those with a sweet tooth, the Velveteen is an absolute dream—a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth treat with a texture as smooth as its name suggests. Beyond the food, Nana’s excels in service. The staff is warm and welcoming, always ready with a coffee refill or a recommendation. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or a leisurely breakfast, the experience at Nana’s makes it a place you’ll want to visit again and again. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with unique and comforting breakfast options, Nana’s is the perfect pick. Highly recommend!

My friend & I were visiting from Washington, DC. While reviewing a few brunch spots, we came across Nana's. I have to say that I had a wonderful experience as soon as I called this restaurant to ensure that they had easy parking. The ambiance was a vibe & we also enjoyed the music that was playing. As far as customer service, our server, Courtney, not only went above & beyond to ensure that our meals turned out to our liking, but she was also very accommodating. If you decide to go to Nana's, you won't be disappointed!

Loved this place. My girlfriend had been hyping it up ever since Ive known her, so I knew I had to eventually try. It greatly exceeded my expectations, the food was to die for. I got this HUGE chicken sandwhich with shoestring fries, it was amazing. While my girlfriend had ordered the Chicken and Waffles which also looked fantastic. We both ordered ice lattes which came in this cute glass, and those were delish. The service by the waitress was great as well, she did a great job of taking care of us. Will be coming back soon.

Nanas review Nana’s is truly a place of satisfaction and contentment. Upon entrance until my exit, the atmosphere demonstrated sophistication, quality service, and quality entertainment. Nana’s restaurant is a gift to the community. Customers, of all kind, are treated with respect and friendly conversation. Not only was the taste of the food exquisite, But the taste of the experience, was most memorable. This restaurant will be a top marker on my list, and one I am hopeful to see grow. It is well deserved. PS - to the young boy who played piano, I hope to see him again. His music blessed the ears of all who heard. -Tiara

A classy looking place with a beautiful piano in a chain of stores with parking right in front on Cross Bay Boulevard. I went with my best friends and we shared some Breakfast dishes. They also serve lunch and dinner. The pancakes were amazing and I’m a pancake guy.

First time at Nana’s! Once I stepped in I immediately felt like I was in a fancy hotel on vacation, the gorgeous piano at the entrance and the beautiful chairs and decorative pieces. The food came and it was very well presented. I had the Lemon ricotta pancakes and my husband had the brunch burger. The pancakes were so so yummy. They had the most delicious homemade whipped cream. The burger patty was so juicy and thick!!! The Service by our waitress courtney was above and beyond! She was friendly, attentive and quick! Couldn’t have had a better experience! Highly recommend Nana’s!

Great place! Parking in front, nice wait staff, and well decorated. I had the velveteen: great breakfast sandwich and very filling. My friend had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and she liked them. The almond milk hot chocolate was so good! It tasted like s’mores. I’ll be back!

Food was amazing, very fast and fresh. Martha was very friendly, amazing waitress. I had the Peach Melba French Toast. The other plate was a Classic Benedict and a fresh blend plate.

I can’t rave enough about the amazing service here! The staff is not only super friendly but they genuinely go out of their way to make you feel at home. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive service, and it just got better from there. Now, let me talk about the food—specifically the omelet called "Vermont." This omelet is out of this world! Packed with the perfect blend of cheese, bacon, and fresh veggies, it’s savory and delicious in every bite. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients, and the combination is just divine. The flavors are so well balanced, and it’s easily one of the best omelets I’ve ever had. If you’re in the area and looking for a cozy spot with top-notch service and food that hits the spot every time, Nana's is it! I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!

I was heading to NJ from Long Island and placed an order. It was ready in 20 minutes (exactly what I was told). The restaurant is beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. My food was in these adorable cartons with everything packed separately (fruit, fresh whipped cream, syrup and butter). It smelled so good and transported well. The lemon blueberry pancakes were perfect. My egg blt was delicious. The tomato had something on it that made it so tasty. The guacamole was a great addition. I wish they were closer to where I live but I will definitely travel back there for breakfast. Added bonus, the owner and staff were so nice. The owner told me If I was dissatisfied with anything to call and let her know.

This is a wonderful breakfast and lunch spot. Lots of fun and delicious breakfast items.

Best brunch in queens! Incredible food with such unique and delicious twists to classic breakfast/brunch staples. This is a must try place!

Love Nana’s. I can’t say enough good things about their food as it’s amazing. Service is fantastic. Love that this place is on my neighborhood and walking distance. Highly recommend this place.

We went on. Friday mid day. The place had traffic but not crowded. The service was phenomenal. The woman held it down and she was so pleasant. We asked for recommendations and she nailed exactly what we were craving. The crème brûlée French toast was amazing. My husband had the breakfast burrito he loved it. Drinks were on point. Will be going back for sure. I also want to add the space was immaculate from floor to ceiling.

Food, atmosphere, staff 10/10. Me and my boyfriend came for the New Years feast. There was so much food! The mimosas were so good and made with fresh pressed orange juice. We will continue to come here, this is our new spot ❤️

The universe sent me to Nana in my search for pancakes Saturday afternoon Thank you universe…. Job well done!!! The pancakes were delicious!! The customer service top tier. Don’t walk… run to Nana on Cross Bay Blvd. thank me later😊😋😋

The food was amazing. We loved all of our dishes. The service was also very helpful. They recommend all of the dishes we had and I loved it. The atmosphere of the place was kinda quiet but not a bad thing. I would definitely go back again if I was in the area.

Great neighborhood find. Always looking for a great brunch spot. The food was well thought out and very tasty. Everything was delicious and well portioned. Really attentive service. Good luck. Welcome and hope to have more brunch days with you guys. Go check it out everyone.

Diner place located in a strip mall off the Blvd. Parking during the week is tough. Park around the corner. Seats are mostly low, slightly uncomfortable and somewhat flimsy. Grab a bench seat if you can. The menu has a couple of interesting items described but overall it's a breakfast/lunch joint. The prices are somewhat high unfortunately but that's the norm these days it seems. Deal breakers are the 7 buck iced coffee and the fact that we were tagged with a mandatory gratuity for a group of 4 or more. Overall a clean place but it's a one and done for me and my crew.

This place was suggested as a local spot in Howard Beach for brunch menu items. The atmosphere was nice and inviting, lots of tables to choose from. The grand piano is a nice atheistic style. We try quite a few options on the menu. The only disappointing menu item was the chicken and waffles, it was soggy and the chicken was not fried properly. The coffee is not super hot either so adding cream makes it room temperature.Everything else we had was delicious. I would recommend this spot but not the chicken and waffles

Food quality was not great. Bland and cold. Food quality is small. Food to price ratio is lacking. Plates had chips in it and utensils were not well kept. The fork was sharper than their knife. The fork has a piece of metal sticking out that scraped my mouth. I ordered a simple breakfast so that’s my comparison point. Place is a decent size but seating space is limited.
