Ok Cafe on the prairie. The only reason we stopped in was because of the Nellie’s sign. We were looking for the small town hospitality. But again it was OK. Just a heads up, this is a cash only cafe. You have to get cash across the street at the convenience stations ATM.

Great food just took quite a while to get it. 30+ minutes, Outdoor eating area if you like that sort of thing. Also a bit pricey $10+ for a burger and fries

We had breakfast on a week day and it was wonderful very good food and service. They said come back for the Sunday breakfast buffet. We did and it was awful, I’ve had better food at a cheap hotel free breakfast and not good service it was high school girls that you had to call over to ask for coffee. I was tempted to get it myself.

A step back in time, but in a good way! Ever been to a Old-fashioned diner and been disappointed by the dirty furniture and bad food? Nellies Cafe is GOOD. Clean tables, classic dishes, friendly service, and a charming atmosphere. My waitress was helpful and nice and always around but never annoyingly so. She must have refilled my coffee 7 times! Will definitely be back. Best breakfast around.

June 16, 2023. I stopped at “Nellie’s” for lunch while I was on a Laura Ingalls Wilder Road trip. I had never been to Walnut Grove and was excited to see places I had read about as a child. So, having lunch at “Nellie’s Cafe” was a bonus. I was very disappointed when I looked at the menu and it said Dorthy’s on it. I thought about getting up and leaving. But I was the only customer. So, I stayed… I suggest the owner changes the name back to “Nellie’s”. If I had known “Nellie’s” was actually called Dorthy’s. I would have had my lunch somewhere else.

If you love a quiet room with Little house on the prairie chatter than this is the place for you. I got a bacon cheese burger, and it tasted like Mom made it…A must go if you’re in Walnut Grove, MN.

This restaurant is a cozy small town cafe with 70’s charm. It has some old time memorabilia, and some great autographed pictures of the cast on the wall. The staff was friendly, and the food came out fast.

Little cafe with very nice people and a Sunday all you can eat buffet breakfast. Branded as “Nellie’s” however it is actually Dorthy’s. Part if the areas Laura Ingalls Wilder vibe.
