There's literally nothing else in Belmont like Nellie's. The first thing you'll notice when you walk in is the decor. How do I describe it, not being up to date on interior design terms? Upscale, southern chic? It's trendy but taps into Nellie's upbringing, a rural life in the south. It's incredibly cool, to summarize.
The food certainly matches, being upscale southern at affordable prices. The fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, green beans, mashed potatoes, all fantastic. What else have I tried? Oh, the desserts...if you like carrot cake, then definitely treat yourself to one of theirs. And all us southern folk enjoy banana pudding, so try one of those while you're at it too.
There's a bar upstairs too, and the view is nice. I can imagine enjoying this on warm summer nights. Nellie's is worth the visit, so go already.
