About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
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!

    My first time, everyone was extremely courteous and welcoming. The food and drinks were delicious and prompt . Our server couldn’t do enough to make our experience a fantastic one. I noticed a lot of team work between the staff in general.

    My first experience at Nellie’s was ok. My server was a bit slow and serviced the table next to me a few times before coming over to take my order. I ordered the catfish, green beans, and Cajun potatoes. The catfish was seasoned ok. The Green beans were barely cooked and greasy. The potatoes were done well. Overall, I had an ok experience and will try other restaurants for the remainder of my stay.
