This is my girlfriend and I’s new favorite spot. We were in town and it was lunch time so we decided to stop in.

The food is excellent, always our choice for mexican cuisine. Staff is friendly and attentive. We would prefer a restaurant atmosphere over a pub because of the noise level, but you can carry on a conversation without problem. We’ll definitely go back.

Nelly’s pub and Grill is a comfortable spot for pub style food. I had brisket poutine which they were very willing to accommodate my special order for —no gravy and barbecue sauce instead. The barbecue sauce by the way was amazing! My husband had shepherds pie, which, despite lacking peas was very tasty, and a friend had the ribs which fell off the bone. All in all the food was quite delicious. Service was friendly, but a little bit rushed and not 100% attentive. The place is a little noisy but one might expect that in a pub!!

Have you ever travelled with unadventerous picky eaters? You know those that are scared of chicken or those that are scared of spices. Well, this little pub has just enough of everything to satisfy even the pickiest/pain in the @ss eaters. Friends of mine just moved to St Albans and are in walking distance of this hidden treasure. I had their fish and chips, which they upgraded to Fish & Pulled Pork Poutine. The margarita no salt was wonderous after a busy day of moving boxes, furniture and driving back to Plattapusburgh. This place is awesome, please don’t let the hipsters ruin it. Wonder if they had hard apple cider. Awesome place, chairs aren’t super comfy but everything else they do is just right.

The food here is exceptional, especially the pulled pork items. The staff is friendly, and the service is great. Very relaxing and soothing atmosphere. All the styles of poutine are delicious.

The staff and management unapologetically violated the ADA this evening when I entered their establishment. I was carrying my service animal and after identifying her as a service animal they informed me they had to talk to management. Management was behind the bar and rolled her eyes at the request saying that because she wasn’t wearing a vest identifying her as a service dog, they wouldn’t allow her in. My animal has been with me the past 12 years and provides support to me due to my anxiety. Anyone that knows me knows she goes everywhere with me. The staff at the bar were rude, unkind and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable after trying to dine at their establishment. I will not be back and I’d avoid this place if you are against establishments that violate the ADA.

Nellys is one of our favorite places to eat at in ST. albans. We went the other day ( a group of teachers out for the summer)…the service was excellent, the food was hot and delicious. Nelly’s nachos are the best nachos around…I won’t even order Nachos any where else now. The server/bartender was busting his butt with two large parties and a ton of customers. I highly recommend this place! I have NEVER had a bad meal here ever!!!!!!

Nelly’s is goated for serving us food just before they closed the kitchen at 10 pm. Every other restaurant has denied us food, closing the kitchen one hour earlier before their closing time which is ridiculous. After a long day of work late night, it feels good to have some place to eat. I definitely to eat out and drink at Nelly’s. Very calm ambience and a great place to chat

Starters were yummy, main entrees mediocre. 3 of us came on (not realizing) trivia night, and there were some extremely obnoxious customers, seemingly overserved or, just plain obnoxious. Considering how open and small the space is, it was extremely disruptive and really made the vibe distasteful. Better suited behavior for a bar on a late weekend night but not a Monday or Tuesday evening.
