I just get this general dirty feeling from Nellie's...
Maybe I've been tainted by the disgusting charges against the breakfast diner, but my dislike for the food started beforehand. Though I know people who have always & will always love Nellie's, I just do not like it. On more than one occasion after breakfast at this restaurant (especially the 17th Ave location), I have felt yucky and sometimes downright awful. It's just too heavy and greasy, the oil tastes heavily recycled and the eggs always have that yucky smell & taste that eggs can occasionally get. The food relies on grease and salt to make it taste good. We make far better breakfasts at home for a fraction of the price.
