We went for lunch and everyone liked their food. I had a great chicken bacon ranch wrap. We were full so we went back the next night for ice cream. The butter pecan was very good.

Best Ice cream in town! Voted by the kids to visit every night we were there! Also their burgers are great as well. We stayed a couple of blocks away and enjoyed the evening walks to get ice cream.

While the service was fast and pleasant in this tourist town restaurant that really has only prime location going for it, the price of lunch was much too high for what we received. We ordered a couple of wraps (with chicken) which were served with no fries (which cost extra anyway). We also ordered two small cups of soup and... More

Kind of a little dive. Very good food though, and fun staff. This place has a cool small-town atmosphere.

If you're an early bird and looking for breakfast, this is the place!! Great portions, delicious food! And the best part is if you're downtown, there's no need to go all the way out to Sherman's, the same ice cream is sold here!!

On Thanksgiving Day, they were closed and were having a family party. We had to use the restroom and there were no public ones open. So we asked if we could just use the restroom. They let us in and after we went, they asked us if we would like some Thanksgiving dinner. So we had some and it was... More

Very classic with great food and ice cream unlike the factory ice cream dispensers. Not at all fancy, but you may have the owner for a waitress. Small so there may be a wait but sit down and relax!

WE were told that Captain Nemos had great ice cream and I hate to say it but, was terrible. The staff was not very friendly and she did not look like she even wanted to wait on us.

We always have a great time at Nemos. If you want to run into the locals, go to Nemo's. They all hang out there. Tom cooks up the best breakfast. Laura runs the front with local gossip at her finger tips. Great salad bar. Not to mention the Sherman's Ice Cream Bar. She has new flavors every year. Located close... More

Nemo's is open super early (important to me and hubby). We are frugal folks so this will tell you how much we love breakfast at Nemo's: we bypass the free breakfast at our motel to come here and pay. Order the Coby Special: eggs, bacon, pancakes, an orange slice and coffee is included, all for about 6.25. and if you... More
