    Coffee (in a cool Nellie's mug that you can purchase) & OJ.

    This place is fire!! If you're a BIG breakfast eater, this is your spot! Prices are fair and there is WAY too much food. I had a ham & cheese omelet with hash browns and it came with toast or pancakes. I thought it might be one pancake, but nope, it came with three huge pancakes. Needless to say, I barely made a dent and had enough left over for two more breakfast. Service was super friendly & prompt. The dessert case looked amazing, but we definitely didn't have room to try any.

    Delicious food and FAST service! Highly recommend this spot! Sit at the height tops over looking the kitchen and see the staff working in sync as they push food out at an incredible pace! Watch the to go orders fly out the door and the fresh squeezed OJ machine works over time! Wish we had a Nellie's in Missouri but we now know the must breakfast spot when we come to froggies every year! GREAT JOB!!

    Was recommended by some of the locals so we gave it a try for breakfast. Loved the hometown feel of the restaurant. The service was great as everyone helped each other. The food wasn't bad, it just lacked seasoning, just bland. The pancakes are as advertised, very fluffy and the star of our breakfast. If back in town I will give it another stop, maybe this time for lunch.

    First time here.. there was a 10-15 min wait, but it was worth it.. the breakfast was really good. I had the fruit French toast, with a side of 1 biscuit and gravy. We also had eggs Benedict , bacon and fruit. The food came out really fast and was delicious. Would recommend, and will be back.

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

There was so many things as part of this platter. I'll post pictures. Decorated with lots of local decor and a sign that says "Metro dining serving locals who serve" - It truly feels like an old-time diner, but with a modern feel. Food review: Im Checking out what appears to be a very local favorite. The dining room is packed but only a five or 10 minute wait at this diner. they turn the tables rather quickly. Very friendly and attentive wait staff. I ordered the French toast croissant meal with scrambled eggs, bacon grits, a biscuit and I can't remember what else I ordered. There was so many things as part of this platter. I'll post pictures. Very tasty hot served you could tell a lot of it is scratch made, and made with love. French toast is very unique very fluffy just like a croissant. The grits were amazing eggs made to perfection. Bacon was nice and thick and smoky no complaints here I strongly suggest you check out the metro diner in Evansville. Chris the manager go and ask how everything was I told him great on everything he told me it was a very fun job.
