Here’s the deal (in my opinion). You don’t go to drag show brunch for food. You go to be entertained. And these queens are fabulous. The food was perfectly mediocre. Protein was generally over cooked (I had pork chop and meatballs), veg was over cooked and stringy (asparagus). Carbs were pretty good (pasta salad, mashers, Mac and cheese). Dessert was good (banana pudding). Service wasn’t bad. Had to ask for water 4 times and had to wait a bit for drinks. But all of that said, I am 100% coming back. The show was great!! I LOVED the music. And some of the shenanigans were hysterical. And the drinks were STRONG (just the way I like them)! I had the Octopussy (because how could you pass that up) and it was tasty!!!!😂. Nellie’s is also very easy to get to from the metro station.
Today!!! I attended with my cousin to the Drag Brunch at 1. We had a blast!!! With the bartender upstairs to the transition downstairs for the food and Mistress of Ceremonies to the performers. It was absolutely wonderful. I WILL be back. Such a wonderful experience.
Nellies is always a good time but they r always forcefully putting some of the girls out. The happy hour drinks r strong and the music is good. We got the wings and fries which of the three flavors(Buffalo bbq n plain) we got it was tasty. There was a long line inside to get to the upstairs patio. We decided to just stay downstairs since it wasn’t a birthday or a special occasion.
They have something every nite sunday is drag brunch which is great entertainment(bingo game and performances) and good food.
I walked in trying to sneakily use the bathroom but someone was there pestering me about getting a drink. I don’t drink but I also don’t know drinks. I spoke to her about all the different types of drinks. She was polite, strong, but also very helpful. I learned that cognac is okay. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would come again if I didn’t need to pee.
