• Southern • The Strip

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. Come by to watch the game on our HUGE main screen, or to listen to some live music!

We honestly love Nellie’s! Since trying it out 1.5 years ago, we have returned about 6 times and it’s amazing. Service is top tier, food is amazing and consistent service brings us back every single time. We will be loyal returners for years to come. My favorite is the catfish and the greens!

Fairly good dining experience. Service was decent. Sushi was amazing. Menu was not really impressive. Shishito peppers were good until I got a super hot one. For the price I probably would not go back.
