    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Love Love Love this place. Eat here once sometimes twice a week. Food is spectacular never ever disappointed. I’m such a regular they already know what I’m getting before I even sit down! But sometimes I change it up on them to keep them on their toes but they are always up for the challenge. Always attentive always having great conversation with the staff. Management is absolutely top notch. They really actually care about the customers. Love you guys and keep shining.
