Nelson’s is just what one would expect from a small local diner. Good food served quickly. Good service. Plenty of coffee. Locals who are known by name. Friendly atmosphere. I eat breakfast here a couple of times a month.

Wow! Wish we'd found this place sooner. Have been staying at John Knox to clean out an apartment & needed breakfast. Food was great & quick. Loved the decor. Wish we were going to be in the area again. Would definitely go back.
