The place was hopping at 930 Sunday morning. We had just about a 15 minute wait at that time so that's not bad. It got much longer almost immediately thereafter. The staff worked hard to get everyone in quickly and our server was great too. My friend and I both had the steak skillets. They were good but the steak in mine was kinda fatty. Huge portions and was entree was cooked correctly. None the less due to the fatty steak it was an overall good experience and if we lived in town we'd be back. read more

Nellie's Restaurant - Waffles Near Me - Newburgh, Indiana

The food is very big and heavy if I was to be completely honest. It feels like a chain is going on with the service. I mean I enjoyed it but it was loud in the restaurant but the servers were nice. read more

The food is wonderful. We each had a skillet breakfast with pancakes. The service was good and the atmosphere is what you may find in a southern style restaurant. read more

Nellie's is a popular restaurant for locals. Lots of parking and although the outdoor seating was closed due to high winds, it uses garden filled water troughs as borders. Pretty cool. After a short wait, we were seated and the place was packed and there's a steady hum of conversations going on. Placed our breakfast orders with our gal Suzy and soon after, we received our coffee and waters. I ordered the chicken fajita skillet and it comes with two large pancakes. The food arrived and it was a huge amount of food for breakfast. I managed to eat half of the skillet and one pancake but the everything tasted great. No room for a slice of pie of cake today. The folks at Nellie's are fantastic and very friendly. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast but be prepared for a hearty and filling me with great service. read more

Everything went GREAT. The food was AWESOME. The service was exceedingly WONDERFUL The servers kept our drinks filled up. I am recommending this place to everyone.. I have eaten here a bunch of times and I will continue to eat here. read more

Amazing food service and interior! Definitely recommend!!! Freshly made food, and my child loved the Mickey Mouse pancakes!

Not sure what the hype was about this place. Stopped in for breakfast, got the farm boy and they over killed the entire dish with way to much onion. My husband liked his chicken fried steak, can't mess that up. The cappuccino machine coffee is blah. For all the raving about I wasn't over impressed. The waitress was kind of a snob. Yes they were busy, we were not demanding. read more

The food was excellent--fresh and flavored just right. Service was tremendous given the fact the place was packed. It's obviously a local favorite as a lot of the patrons knew each other. It was a little noisy, but when every table is full of happy people, it's gonna be that way! I will go back every time I'm in the area! read more

Great service, tasty variety of meal offerings. The line on the weekends is worth the wait, it moves quickly and the service is super quick. I think their pancakes are the best tri-state. read more

We always enjoy going there. My husband likes the fish tacos. I like the tenderloins and hamburgers.

Really great diner food, I don't think I've had anything here I didn't like. Great breakfast options, a variety of salads and sandwiches. Large portion sizes and really decent pricing. New outdoor dining space looks great if that's your style - indoor seating feels a little dated at this point (especially in comparison) but the food is really the draw here. Definitely recommended if you're in town, and extra kudos for supporting local! read more

EVERYTHING was AWESOME ( except the service) this is why I can't give 5*... sorry, no refills of our drinks, no 5 stars...gotta have decent service and when you don't come back to the customer, until you give the check... that's not cool. Sorry guys. read more

Nellie's Restaurant - Benny skillet + pancakes! - Waffles Near Me - Newburgh, Indiana

Great food and service. I had the waffle with fruit. It was delicious . Will definitely be going back.

Ambiance is of an old diner nothing wrong with that. Service on a Sunday was average. Food got two different omelettes, pancakes and french toast. All of it was bland and below average. I can certainly do better at home. They were packed though, guess people like below average bland food. The OJ that is freshly squeezed is outstanding. read more

I have had breakfast and lunch here and would most definitely drive out of my way to eat here again! Great everything, including service!

Hearty meal with great service. Nellie's lunch lived up to its billing from the neighborhood regulars. Tenderloin sandwich was spot on.

Ate here for breakfast!No wait time when we arrived! I had a skillet meal! A lot of food! Took half of mine home! Great service! read more

Nellie's Restaurant - Garden omelet with Swiss cheese sub hash for fruit. Ask for their fresh squeezed oj! Mmmm! - Waffles Near Me - Newburgh, Indiana

Oh just go have breakfast at Nellie's!!! You will not be sorry!! The portions are huge, and the food is outstanding!!! Service was fast and friendly, a diner type atmosphere. The breakfast menu is extensive, with all the classics, and some Tex-Mex inspired dishes as well. They serve lunch as well, and the menu looked really good. read more

I have been here a few times with my family and also my friends. The 1st couple times all was good. I had the Pancakes which was way more than I could eat,I also ordered some hashbrowns asking for them to be WELL COOKED. I got them and they were just barely brown on both sides. Friends I had with me had the Chicken strip basket, the chicken was cooked way too long & was crispy hard !! The service was SO SO BAD !!!! Not one server stopped to see if we needed anything. I finally walked up to where they pick up your food and 4 servers were sitting on bar stools just laughing their Azzes off. I asked OURS if she could please come to our table & her reply was ' I'm on my lunch break sorry but I will try to get someone to you '. REALLY??? Well someone else did finally make it to us, I pointed out that the Chicken Stripes were WAY OVER COOKED & asked if they were able to give that back to get something different. WOW!!! To all of us at the table heard her say " I can take it back & show the cook but if order something different she will be CHARGED for all that she has ordered??? NEVER IN MY LIFETIME have we ever been told that!!! The LAST TIME I was there was still a HORRIBLE PLACE TO BE !!. There were 3 adults in our group read more

Went on a Thursday morning not terribly busy. Service was great.... The food wasn't. Got an egg breakfast with ham , hash browns and pancakes. Eggs were like slimey goop. None of the food had any flavor at all other than the pancakes. My significant other also got a croissant sandwich and it was bland and tasted not 10+$. Very well could've spent my 35$ at Walmart and had better cooked by me. read more

Five stars should go to our waitress ! I had the combo sandwich. Ordered the garlic potatoes and the dipping liquid on the side. The bread was weird and chewy. The Italian beef had no flavor. The Italian sausage was the best part and had a little flavor. The garlic potatoes were just mashed potatoes. I think the cook showed it a picture of a garlic clove. The sauce had no flavor except for some spicy heat. My wife asked if she could taste the dipping liquid with her spoon. I asked her if she needed a spoonful of water. She said no, I want to taste your dipping liquid. She did. She said it tasted like spicy water. I never season my food and I actually sprinkled salt, pepper, some ketchup and hot sauce on the meat. My wife said "WOW! You never do that. I told her it needed some flavor. Her pulled pork was decent. read more

Why I won't be back: Eggs Benedict are to have poached eggs, ours was at the soft boiled point Plastic in the Eggs Benedict Ants Coffee Should have not been charged at all for eggs, even if replaced Ants crawled on me The coffee should be a "coffee color" and not weak colored water. Didn't order today as poor coffee is the expectation. When we saw how it looked as the server poured for another patron, it was an easy choice to avoid. read more

We've eaten here twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Lunch was good - huge Italian sausage sandwich for me and big corned beef sandwich for him. The sandwiches were good. The potato salad was awful - it was basically mashed potatoes mixed with mayo and pickle relish. Breakfast was meh. The country gravy was flavorless. Actually everything was extremely bland. The coffee is essentially brown water. Service both times was ok, not great. read more

Food is great, service is great, ambiance is just another restaurant. But, a very GOOD restaurant! I have Nellie's on my list to take my out of town guests! And I have a few times! They love it, too! Only negative is that they don't tell you about the fact of you getting charged more for using a debit/credit card vs cash! Not cool Nellie's! One small notice on the window NEAR the front door telling you of this is NOT cool! Before you order, you should be told! I watched someone leave the restaurant when they were done to go to his bank and get cash to avoid the credit/debit charge! His wife sat at the table alone twittling her thumbs waiting for him to get back! Not cool, Nellie's read more

the best food! consistent! great value! excellent service! everything on the menu is good, you can't go wrong!

On the road traveling to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation area. Found this little gem & throughly enjoyed our breakfast on the road. As usual the portion sizes were too shareable! His corned beef skillet scrumptious-- my poached eggs fixed perfectly! Could find zero to complain about ....waitress & management very friendly & interested in making our visit great. Guess the only thing I wish they had was almond milk creamer! read more

Nellie's Restaurant - Gang gang - Waffles Near Me - Newburgh, Indiana

Definitely a solid choice if you're in the area and are looking for breakfast. There may be a line out the door, so be prepared, but once you are inside, they won't rush you, and the food is definitely plentiful, so if you're coming in hungry, it's definitely worth the wait. Came in right after Halloween and the place was still very cutely decorated and gave off that home-y vibe without being too kitschy. The servers were working hard to keep everyone happy with refills and prompt service. It wasn't perfect, but they were trying to make it the best they could with the ever-growing crowd. The food was delicious, and all three of us had leftovers (even though we were just staying one night, we all took them anyway). Even I, who was most skeptical about a breakfast burrito in the middle of America, was impressed by how great it turned out. The skillets, pancakes, everything... delish! read more

Delicious! We had to wait about 20 min for a party of five on a Sunday morning. They were packed but service was still fast and efficient. The food was delicious. I got an egg white veggie omelette. It was stuffed with fresh veggies and the hash browns were awesome. My dad loved his breakfast burrito and my brother loved the chicken fajita skillet. My mom and grandma were happy with their eggs and bacon too. The best part was hands down the blueberry pancakes. They were so light and fluffy and you didn't even need syrup. They were also bursting with plump blueberries! read more

Great breakfast and fast service! Food was special. They were busy but we didn't wait more than 5 minutes.

Just went to the new location of Nellies. Food was terrible. Ordered Biscuits and gravy. Was only room temperature. Asked for replacement telling server it was not hot. Brought me another plate of room temperature. Told server that I could not eat room temperature gravy. Her reply was I don't know what is the problem. Never offered me to comp my order. Service was poor as I had to flag down another server for second cup of coffee. My friend ordered the turkey dinner special. He also said his food was not hot.This is my only and last visit to this restaurant. read more

Great breakfast and a drive thru!! Cash discount but they take cards. We love the croissant sandwich.
