Regional American (Southern)
Visitors to the Las Vegas Strip in the mood for authentic southern cuisine need look no further than the just-like-Grandma-used-to-make dishes of Executive Chef Mario Nichols, a transplant from the kitchen of this restaurant's North Carolina original location. Grandma is real, too: Nellie was the grandmother of Kevin Jonas, Sr., "Papa Jonas" to the fans of his famous sons, and the founder of Nellie's. The food - including freshmade biscuits, shrimp and grits, and chicken and dumplins, shares top billing with Nellie's hospitality and decor. The gorgeous venue, located within the District of MGM Grand, opposite the Grand Garden Arena and close to Wet Republic, Top Golf and the MGM convention center, is open 7 days for lunch and dinner. As you would expect from a Jonas Family Experience, there is free entertainment nightly.

    We meet Leo the end of April. He welcomed us into Nellie’s at the tail end of their service. He was so kind and caring, and made my party and I feel so special and honoured. I left saying- this is my new favourite place! Fast forward for about a month later, and my husband surprised me to Vegas again and supper at Nellie’s. This time we meet Jose! He was spatular- we learn him and Leo were a duo from the beginning - from rebrand to rebrand! I absolutely love Leo and Jose! They are truly to face and value and sprit of Nellie’s

    The food was just OK, definitely not worth the price. Highly overpriced for the quality of food you get.

    The atmosphere was nice. Lots of room between tables (not overcrowded). Chicken and gravy: Chicken was too dry. Mashed potatoes were cold. Coleslaw was really good. Shrimp and vegetables: Shrimp was overcooked (rubbery). Veggies were ok. Pulled pork sandwich: Good for the value. Fries were nice and crispy.

    Our waiter Leo was superb and very friendly and knowledgeable about every dish! The food was delicious except the greens could’ve been cooked longer and the macaroni and cheese could’ve been creamier, it was very dry!! The catfish, shrimp and grits cake , beef shank and meatloaf was excellent! We fell in love with the soul rolls!! Definitely would recommend this place 🥰🥰
