The Jonas Brothers are setting roots in Las Vegas and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Saturday, June 4, marked the GRAND opening of Nellie’s Southern Kitchen inside MGM Grand Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
Nellie’s Southern Kitchen is a family restaurant created by the Jonas family in honor of Kevin Jonas Sr.’s beloved grandmother Nellie. The restaurant will “celebrate the comfort food, hospitality and Southern charm of the family’s 1760s roots in North Carolina” says MGM Grand in their press release. Nellie passed away in 2011, but her memory and recipes will live on for generations to come. The restaurant is located in The District of the MGM Grand which can be found across from the Blizz Frozen Yogurt. The 11,000 square foot restaurant will be a place for families to enjoy live entertainment, great memories and rich in flavor dishes. Kevin Jonas II said, “Our dad’s passion for family, food and music shines through at Nellie’s. It’s a beautiful tribute to our great-grandmother’s legacy, and we know Las Vegas will love it as much as we do.” This is the second location of Nellie’s Southern Kitchen with the first location residing in Belmont, North Carolina.
It wouldn’t be true Vegas fashion without a red carpet and step and repeat to welcome the southern restaurant to sin city. All three of the Jonas Brothers, Kevin, Joe and Nick attended the red carpet followed by their parents, Denise Jonas and Kevin Jonas Sr. and their younger brother Franklin Jonas. Danielle Jonas, Kevin Jonas‘ wife, their two kids walked the red carpet.
The restaurant’s menu will feature some of Nellie‘s classic plates including chicken and waffles, biscuits, chicken and gravy, southern meatloaf, and many more items specifically for the Las Vegas location. Their bar will also feature a wide variety of cocktails to plate with your meal. Nellie’s Southern Kitchen hosted a Jonas Brother’s Trivia Night the night before on Friday, June 3, where lucky fans had the opportunity to win Jonas Brothers‘ merch based on their knowledge of the brothers. June 10 is the next scheduled trivia night which is currently booked but they are taking walk ups on discretion.
The restaurant’s is open Tuesday through Sunday. You can learn more about Nellie’s Southern Kitchen HERE.
