nellie's kitchen

one of the best. we have enjoyed many excellent meals here. the newly renovated restaurant makes a very nice place to relax and enjoy a good meal. would highly recommend the noodle bowl and fish to name but a few, we have never been disappointed. we have always been treated with friendly and courteous service. thepieis one of the best around.
2 thumbs up :)

i miss the old owners of nellie’s kitchen. the new owners upped the prices for the food, the service is definitely not as friendly as it was before covid. also the hours have changed, i pulled up at 3:02 on a tuesday and they were closed. that’s disappointing that a place closes mid day one day a week but is opened later all other days. i just wanted to sneak in and snag an overpriced coconutpiebut couldn’t at 3:02 pm. it’s a shame that the new owners aren’t even close to being as impeccable as the last ones.

their beet borscht was good, theirpieis awesome and their breakfast is basic but delicious. i like the small diner feel and that you can tell it's run by a family.

greatpieand service. it's our go to restaurant. if we don't feel like cooking, this is where we go. an old school eatery, with great home cooked meals. they make their own sauce...yum.

must try cafe. large selection. great food. reasonable prices. friendly service. what more can i say?? best homemadepiein town.. got to try nellie's. j&d

first time at nellie's kitchen - wow! the best fresh rolls i have ever had, noodle bowl was outstanding and so big i barely had room for dessert! but... i tried thepieanyway and ate the whole thing too because it was just. that. good. definitely going there again!! service was great, and the place itself is nice and clean.

my family goes here, they absolutely love it! the lemon marangpieis voted top in saskatchewan! and i absolutely love the service and food. so good. great prices. great variety. love love love.

we will definitely be back. my husband and i visited nellie's for the first time today. we couldn't resist the deluxe burgers with fries (big steak-cut fries.) they were large, homemade patties. the gravy was delicious!!!
although we were already stuffed, we ordered applepiea la mode to finish. the filling was definitely made from scratch.
the owner, twee, was delightful and attentive. the service was great, portions ample and prices very reasonable. we look forward to returning to try one of her vietnamese dishes.

i took my friend to nellie kitchen today. it was his first time ever going there and he really enjoyed it. the food was really good and the staff was so friendly. over all a really great expreance and a must try for any one who loves good fresh food p.s the applepieis the best :d

today i went to nellys kitchen for the first time in my life. it was great, the service is awesome and the people working are kind and friendly! one of the best parts was that i was able to get just a piece of fish instead of a whole meal, which you wouldn't be able to do at franchises. also i had the applepiefor dessert and it was truly outstanding, by far the bestpiei've had in saskatoon. what made it so good was that it was home made and with that everything they make is home made and made from scratch. and to top it all off everything is at a great price!!

tastey authentic food that is friendly, affordable and fast. my first visit to nellies was truly a treat, as it surpassed my expectation of the quint little 'cafe' i had been overlooking for many years. i was welcomed by the owner who was genuinely friendly and hospitable beyond what i had anticipated the owner and head chef had time for. twee was a delight to meet and she took great care of us while managing the kitchen for all her guests. i watched as she made each person through the door feel very welcome.

my first visit i had one of twee s tasty variation of a simple classic sandwich. tuna salad. the sandwich was very tasty and the sides were both flavourful and beyond adequate in portion, especially for such a reasonable price. for desert my coffee was piping hot and my home made 'from scratch... no can' applepiewith extra ice cream 'because 'we' were sharing' (no charge)was perfection. as we were departing our gracious and honest host pointed to a poster of what was to be our next meal... vermicelli noodle bowls with spring rolls and your choice of meat.

this lead to my second visit when i discovered that twee was now making one of the best and freshest vermicelli noodle bowls in saskatoon... by far. i love these meals and so i have tried many in this city and they are all falling flat these days. most places are trying to shovel you full of noodles (cheap like borscht) and they do not give enough vegetables. twee prides herself in the quality and freshness of the vegetables served at nellies and the proof is in the noodle bowl. on this wonderful visit i explored saskatoon's tallest lemon meringuepiefor desert and it was definitely 'worth the climb'.

since these first visits i have been enjoying nellies comfortable ambience, twee's hospitality, and the freshest and fullest noodle bowls in saskatoon... as well as fantastic 'no can' pies all in the great location in the middle of so many neighbourhoods.

i know restaurants... i've dined in the best of saskatoon, i know good when i see it... and nellies offers good in a casual, friendly authentic atmosphere. my only hope for nellies is that twee develops a permanent eastern section in the menu and not just make them the specials to a menu that is primarily western. she is a gifted cook and i'd like the opportunity to experience more of her cultural flavour combinations.

cheers.
