Nellie’s On 90th

It wasn’t busy at all when I went (3 other tables tops) yet I didn’t see my waitress for 20 minutes after she dropped off my drink. My food came out quickly and was pretty good, however the waitress didn’t write down my order so she got some of it wrong, and didn’t come check on me until I had finished eating. Well as soon as I was done eating she didn’t take my plate away, just brought me my bill– with the extra charges for stuff I didn’t get– and immediately brought the machine over. I asked her if she could take off the extras since I didn’t get them and she rolled her eyes at me but did so.
Overall, not impressed with the service at all, the only reason I even gave this location 3 stars was for the food.

I recently went to Nellie’s with a few friends and it was okay. I was not overly impressed with the food and the service was very slow (but it was Sunday morning and very busy). I have been here in the past and I feel like it used to be better than it currently is. I will try it again but if the service is the same next time I will not be back. Thanks

I remember Nellies on 90^th being this charming kitschy restaurant and looked forward to returning for a delicious generous breakfast. I quickly realized this restaurant was under new management.
Drink order was offered and served immediately but I was soon forgotten. There were 4 tables being served, this was at 11:30 am. I waved the server down and ordered the eggs Benedict with spinach which comes with melon and orange and home fries.
The eggs were beautifully cooked and the hollandaise was light and tasty. The spinach was not quite raw and not quite cooked and quite stringy. The potatoes were laden with seasoning salt. Couldn’t eat them. Couldn’t catch the servers eye to tell her about the potatoes until I finally had to hail her for the check. There was absolutely no connection between customer and server and no comment when I explained the over salting.
Over all I left feeling that the pride and character of the Nellie’s on 90^th I remember is gone and a very mediocre diner has taken its place. I won’t be back.
My bill was $ 16.01 plus gratuity. Waste of time and money. Very disappointing.

Horrible service from the beginning… Waitresses didn’t offer water or coffee refills. They brought our food at the beginning and we didn’t see the server again. Will not be going back… also, the food was horrible!

this place under the new management is awesome. simple good breakfast. all the bad comments and ratings are a joke and so old. great food and great service.

We had a good experience. Had the three cheese Mac n’ Cheese. It was really good. Close to home. I recommend this place.

Not bad. The service is always great but the food can be hit-​or-​miss. Fruit and veggies are always fresh, but the eggs often come out wrong, over or under cooked. And it’s can be a little pricey for what you get.

went on a sunday for breakfast. we just missed the rush as shortly after we were seated there was a line out the door. it’s a cute little place but very cramped. we were at a small table being only 4 of us but there was very little room between us and the people on either side. so not much for privacy or noise. its has a bit of a 50’s style to it which I thought was cute.
the food was good. I had the French toast and it was cooked perfectly. the coffee was refilled as needed and service was quick. really besides the atmosphere I got no complaints.

Missed it by a hair — the one that was in my breakfast.
No need to spend any more time on a review. If you want breakfast there are plenty of other places nearby. Pâtisserie Du Soleil in Woodbine is far superior for both food and service. Do yourself a favour and forget about Nellie’s. They have had food code violations and are either unwilling, or unable, to clean up their act.

The food was just ok. Nothing special and I believe portions getting smaller with more potatoes and less sausage/​fruit etc in the Ukrainian Break the Fast. Coffee was nothing special. Kinda watery. Bagel was burnt. And my daughter told me there was a beetle in the bathroom sink (hope it was just a beetle). She just wanted to go. I guess the new management has not been able to replicate the original Nellie’s food and feel. I’d recommend driving south on 24 th till you hit the Safeway in Woodbine. They have two much better Breakfast places in that strip mall. One a crêpe place and the other a French place.

Pathetic.
Not only was our food completely bland/​overcooked/​missing key ingredients, the service was completely terrible. We literally waited the best part of an hour to get to even GIVE our order (despite flagging down staff and saying we wanted to order NOW twice before the waitress bothered to come by).
They then left my Mum’s meal sitting on the counter without delivering it for about 10 minutes. They also forgot part of the order my Dad made.
The bathrooms were filthy; my shoes literally were sticking to the floor in there.
As my sister put it; it might be right around the corner from her house, but we’re never going there again!

Although Nellie’s has a fairly bad reputation for health code violations, I personally haven’t had any bad visits. The food is ok and the atmosphere is cool, plus service is always good. The value isn’t great but as an independent location it’s as good as could be expected. Their menu offers many different choices and my kids absolutely love the place. Sometimes it’s a little busy, but if you’ve never been I’d give it a chance regardless of the wait.
