Nelly's

Food was great! Price was fantastic! Portion was SUBSTANTIAL! I would recommend this small establishment for sure! Get the 1/2 burger with bacon 🥓 and dress it as you please. You can't go wrong.

Just had food here, fabulous. Has a micro brewery - Old School Brewing...Highly recommend here, if we were stopping longer would come back.

Stopped in here for the first time and I honestly didn't regret it. I needed to grab lunch while I was out here for work.

Got the Reuben, large fry and a mac & cheese. The Rueben sandwich was really good and the corned beef was tasty, but the bread could've been toasted a little less as it was super crunchy. My favorite type of fries has always been when the places had fresh cut fries and they were as good as they looked. The mac and cheese I ate later in the day, it reminded me a lot of a creamier kraft which was really good.

Definitely will be coming back even if it's a 30 min drive. It's well worth it for the quality of food.

Had the State Champ burger with a “Mango is Our Middle Name” beer; very good. I definitely recommend.

Wow!
You must treat yourself to Nelly's

Outstanding food and milk shakes.
Atmosphere is good fun and right on Route 66.
Go get some kicks in Wilmington, IL
at Nelly's

Three of us ended up at Nelly’s for lunch in the mid afternoon. Even late they had a pretty good amount of customers. From the counter we ordered a burger, a patty melt and a pork loin sandwich. I think the place is known for its burgers. The tenderloin was on of those pre-made frozen jobs but it was good. And big. Service with a smile and decent food. Cannot ask for much more.

This is a hot dog,, polish sausage with onions, and onion rings. We have been here many times, always great food.

Good food served quickly. Don't forget to put your name on the wall. Nice small place along Route 66 with some decorations worth taking a look at. Friendly service as well.

We visited Nellys on our way home. The food has always been great and now with the new location you can enjoy the same good food with a beer too! Our bartender Tammy was very nice, she offered us samples as it was our first time at the new location. We noticed that they have a pour it forward where you can pay for a teacher, veteran, etc. to have a drink on you! I thought that was very neat. They also had a special area for law enforcement to sit and eat in privacy. The food was delicious and it was a great atmosphere! I had the jalapeño burger, my mom had a chicken sand which, and we shared chili cheese fries. I have never been a beer drinker but after sampling the mango beer they had, I had to get a glass! The new location looks great inside and to my knowledge, they still have the same menu items food wise. We will definitely be going back! Thank you to the bartender Tammy and kitchen crew!

3 of us ate,food was great,I recommend the yard bird which was good, burger was good also.Fries were super hot 🔥. Also had kids meals.

Food has always been top-notch. I do miss the old location, but having it in a brewey just enhances the experience. Now I can have a beer with delicious food.

Excellent place, great staff, great food, great beer .. not much more to say really. Go along and sample the Malty Monkey beer.

Fabulous. Best Reuben I have had in years. Huge variety of choices on menu.

Nelly's is a fun local burger place. All our orders came out correct(we had 13 between two groups). Portions were generous and the food was delicious!

The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. We can't wait to come back and try a beer flight!

Made you feel at home beautiful people , great service food is off the chain the best burgers in town around Chicago the bomb Burger is it worth it or any choice or selection. Beautiful restaurant you must visit.

Great place, friendly staff, food is quick & the hambergers are great. My kids love signing the wall.

Cool 50s style restaurant on old Route 66. Great food and good service. Fresh cut fries were awesome!

Fun place to eat. Game room attached to bar/restaurant.

Every time we have been here the food is excellent! Really neat spot along Rt.66 in Wilmington. Right by the Kankakee river and other historic Rt. 66 stops.

Really cool place inside as well! Writing on the wall and lots of nostalgia automotive things.

Fries are TO DIE FOR. They are hand cut in the store every day.
