I want to kick myself for not knowing of this place. I visit Ossian once or twice a year but didn't know of this place. Wish I has! The food was fantastic as well as the service. Very reasonable prices. I will visit whenever I am in town from now on.

We always get the typical egg breakfast, French toast breakfast, and biscuits and gravy and all of it is delicious. We LOVE this place! Their current hours are 6a-1p. I wish they'd extend the hours a little and decor could maybe use a little sprucing, but regardless, Nel's is a wonderful breakfast/lunch diner! The staff is always so kind and accommodating too. We will stay Nel's fans for sure!

Quaint small Cafe. We stopped in on the way to a sporting event at Norwell HS. Both the Fried chicken sandwich and an omelets stuffed with sausage, cheese, and hashbrowns, smothered in sausage gravy were very good. The fresh made spiral fries were very good also.
