What Peter C doesn't like about Nellies Break The Fast Cafe:
We had a breakfast here during a stay in July. The restaurant was a bit tired inside but clean tidy. The food was competent but not exceptional. Corned beef hash was plain unexciting View all feedback. What Ady JD likes about Nellies Break The Fast Cafe:
The receptionist at the Sandman Hotel recommended this place for breakfast and we were really glad they did. Reminded me of a New York diner, but much more polite. The service was wonderful, really attentive, and dynamic. The omelettes were wonderful , and just a great experience to set us up for the day. My wife 's first diner experience and she loved it.

Lots of choice in breakfast and service was really fast and polite. We loved it, shame we're only in Calgary for a day!

The cafe is pretty much comfortable, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious. The staff is also friendly and offers great service.

Nellie's Restaurant in Calgary offers a traditional breakfast experience with a no-nonsense approach that leaves guests feeling satisfied. While some may find the decor a bit tired, the cleanliness of the restaurant is up to par. The food, while competent and tasty, may not be exceptional in every dish. Some guests have found issues with undercooked sausages, missing accompaniments, and small portion sizes when ordering takeout. However, the service at Nellie's remains a standout feature, with friendly staff who keep the coffee flowing and make diners feel welcome. Overall, Nellie's is a solid choice for a hearty breakfast for those looking for a no-frills dining experience in Calgary.

Small but friendly, food was varied and good. From banana bread french toast to the belly buster the food was very nice. Waiter/waitress friendly and helpful.

The food is just so so. Nothing fancy. Add 18% extra fee when you pay and required if you are more than 6 people. But we are two families and pay separately. I...
