Neli's Restaurant - South Beloit, Illinois

We met family here for breakfast and it was a good choice. They set up tables for our larger group and it worked out nicely. We appreciated the flexibility. Even though the parking lot looked busy, there was still plenty of room inside. There were also plenty of parking spots on the other side of the restaurant where they have a second door.

The food came out looking very good and tasted pretty good as well. There wasn't much of a wait for our food even though the place seems to be a popular lunch location. I added pictures of the menu since it has a lot of choices and I know some people - like me - appreciate having an idea of what they might order before getting to the restaurant.

The reason for the missing star in Service was because there didn't seem to be a lot of follow up after the food was dropped off. Could have used water refills or maybe a pitcher for a large group. It also would have been nice if the side plates came out with the main dish. For example, toast with the breakfast plates. Thought it was forgotten about but it eventually made it out.

Not a bad place to stop for a relaxed atmosphere and good food. The place was clean and comfortable.

We were out picking up some items and seen this restaurant, looked good from outside and there was a lot of cars, so I figured this is the place.. WE ARE SO GLAD WE STOPPED.. truly amazing, FOOD, SERVICE AND PEOPLE. Will for sure come back again...

We went to the antique store. Came out and smelled yummy food. So, we decided to try said yummy food. Well, I have to say it was a great decision. My husband got the hawaiian omelet with hash browns, and I got the garden fresh skillet. The food was fresh and very good. We will be back again.

A typicall Midwest-style diner with a diverse menu. Unfortunately, the vast amount of food options available leads me to believe most of it is not fresh, but is rather kept on hand frozen.

Decent salad, excellent skillet.

We love going back to Neli’s, they have good food, they always have a lot of customers when you pass by. Good service!

This was our first time going and probably the last. Coffee was very weak, but they did have Splenda upon request. The soups were not good, especially the clam chowder. They tasted canned and old. Hubby ordered a French dip. It had very dry meat and not much of it. I ordered the fried cod. I had to use a knife! to get a piece. That first bite was chewy, dry, and sour fishy. I had to spit it out. The fries were burned and hard. I asked to pay so we could leave and find a place to eat. The waitress was kind and said there was no charge. I didn't get her name, but if she's reading this, thank you for your kindness. You're better than this restaurant.

Packed house this morning (because the food is always so good!) but we didn't have to wait more than 2 minutes! Clean, friendly and attentive staff, large menu and wonderful desserts! As a tea drinker, I LOVE the large pots with long spouts....only downfall are the restrooms as they are single stalls, both men and women's. Next time we are trying the chocolate shake!!

We had a very good waitress this morning. Super friendly and they kept our coffee full. I ordered the Cinnamon French toast with fruit and the fruit was fresg cut bananas, fresh cut slices of strawberries and fresh blueberries. My order was very good. Everything is clean, including the bathroom.
