Unique and old fashioned restaurant. Nu-Griddle has been around for a very long time. They allow smoking in the front, but they have a separate no smoking dining area. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. Breakfast is good, with lots to choose from. Their pancakes are good and their coffee is good, too.

I love this place I don't live in Plainview but I will sure be back there soon. Great prices and very friendly waitresses. Free music on the jukebox. And also have old fashion music players at each table.

I stopped by this place for lunch today, I was looking for a nice little breakfast place for lunch. The food was awesome, I especially liked the friendly wait staff. I was traveling from Amarillo and thought I left my wallet at the hotel, I explained to the nicest waitress I ever had and offered to pay via Venmo, Zelle, Google Pay, etc. They could not accept any of this, she told me she would pay the bill if I promised to "Pay it Forward". I ended up finding my wallet thank goodness. Thank you for your integrity and understanding, we need more people in the world like her.

What a great little restaurant run by great ladies and very thankful for their years of service here at this restaurant so glad that they are in Plainview. Great food great service fresh hot made to order. It is true if you are not a local person that eats there all the time they will wait on other locals first then the out-of-towners

Not from plainview, I took a wild guess for a place to eat and I'm glad we did!! My hubby loved the grits, my sister loved the eggs, and I loved the atmosphere!!! Old time jukeboxes, and our waitress was super sweet. We got our food the way we asked ""real food"" gravy was homemade, grits perfect, and watching ol timers laugh and joke!!! I sooooo loved it!!!
