This was not our first choice BUT should have been! The food, restaurant, server (Blanca), and other staff members were PHENOMENAL! Chose the catfish and it was incredible. The cook (Mr. Mario) knows what he's doing! The meals coming out of the kitchen are incredible, spectacular, phenomenal, delectable and so much more! If you're like me visiting Vegas you must stop by MGM and dine at this remarkable restaurant! You won't be disappointed!

Food was great. Tried the fried chicken and the short rib plate. Also enjoyed great biscuits with some of the best sausage gravy! Chef Mario spoke to us and shared some background on the restaurant and the food. He was incredibly gracious and we will definitely return next time we are in Vegas.

This place is a hidden secret!! EVERYTHING we tried was simply amazing. I don’t even eat Okra and it was good! 1/2 off if you show up in a VGK shirt on game nights too!

I was trying to decide between country fried steak and chicken and dumplings. The chef brought me out a sample of the chicken and dumplings, and I was all in!! The biscuits and fried okra were awesome as well. The staff was very friendly & attentive and refilled my sweet tea regularly. Love this place!

Our group of nine had a truly enjoyable dining experience at Nellie’s Southern Kitchen. The service was top-notch, and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a memorable meal I would definitely recommend this MGM restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a pleasant environment. Chef Mario's creative take on Southern cuisine is sure to impress even the most discerning palate. The collard green artichoke dip and southern eggrolls are hands-down, the best appetizers. I would highly recommend making a reservation beforehand.
