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!

    Definitely putting this on our MUST list of places to eat in Las Vegas. First of all, absolutely love the Gluten Free Options. My son has Celiacs so it was nice to see so many Gluten Free Options like Catfish, French Fries and many more. The Chef even came iut and mentioned how he could make a gluten free sauce for our grits. The sauce was so good we were eating it with a spoon! We also ordered Chicken & Dumplings, Fried Chicken, Drunken Greens, Chicken & Waffles, Biscuits and Mac & Cheese. YUM, YUM, YUM and SUPER YUM!!! We went for Sunday Brunch but will definitely have to go back and try the weekday dinner menu. Being from Texas, it's nice to actually get a glass of sweet tea and some comfort food. This place is a definite MUST!!

    Felt rushed tried to order a cocktail felt like the waiter wanted to talk to my husband and not even go check with the bartender, I tried to order an old drink I had last time I was there , and he didn’t care about checking with the bartender they could of made me something close to what I wanted. Atmosphere was loud , could talk to each other or relax .
