Review: The Nook
Shawn Stevenson, staff writer
The Nook, a breakfast and lunch diner has everything to offer from friendly smiles, great customer hospitality and the best bacon around Charlottesville, The Nook has made its mark in our community.
Starting in 1951, this traditional family-owned restaurant has great food at even better prices. The Nook continues to welcome individuals, couples and families. Retro in style like a 1950s diner, the owners strive to keep up with current food trends by making sure that everything is top quality and that they stay ahead of the curve. The Nook succeeds.
The staff at the Nook go above and beyond for their customers. The restaurant also works to provide for the community in a variety of ways.
The Manager, Jeff, explained how The Nook is a member of the community. “We’re very big in civic donations; we try to employ people that are in transit and give them enough to get back on their feet. We donate to the free clinic twice a year, we feed the entire staff there. We participate in a lot of charity auctions. We did the bacon festival two years ago and gave the money to Habitat for Humanity. We give a lot to the churches and the schools,” said Jeff.
The Nook not only makes sure that our stomachs are full, but also makes sure our community is rich and loved. The Nook is open Monday-Thursday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
