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

This is a little place right in the downtown area. It is always busy. We have had ice cream here, Sherman's of course! It was fine but to many people in too small of space. The service wasn't great. With Sherman's Dairy just down the road with all the selection we like the experience of going there instead.

Sherman's ice cream but not in huge portions as at the dairy bar itself and a limited selection. The gyros are very good. Small salad bar.

Stopping in the day before for Sherman's ice cream, Captain Nemo's looked like a neat little diner. We decided to try it the next day for breakfast. We could not have been bigger pains in the butts. They had stopped serving breakfast twenty minutes before we arrived, but when we asked if they'd make an exception for us, the cook... More
