Cute little cafe with the small town atmosphere. Regulars are known by name and the service is prompt and friendly. Their biscuits and gravy over hash browns are a delight. Pancakes are big, fluffy, and with the freshest of blueberries. Open breakfast and lunch on weekdays and only breakfast on weekends.

They had great prices and great service. The food was excellent and huge portions! Definitely go only here in Decatur for your breakfast and beyond! Will be back when we visit Forest Haven again; a beautiful camp ground down the street. Thanks Nettie’s

What a fantastic breakfast! A small, quaint little diner with amazing food and service. The blueberry buttermilk pancakes were absolutely the best I have ever had, the sausage Pattie’s were lean and wonderful. Everything is made fresh everyday and it shows. The staff has their hands full with a busy place, but they’re rocking it! The place gets packed so bring your patience or go super early. It’s worth the wait.

The food was competent, but the service was awesome and the atmosphere was classic Midwest cafe. The waitress knew everyone by name and there was plenty of sass to go around.

Take a drive to Nettie's and you won't regret it. Katie was a wonderful server and the breakfast did not disappoint. Best biscuits and gravy I can remember (posted my clean plate pic), crisp bacon and fresh eggs. My friend said his blueberry pancakes were fabulous.
