Inside Nellie's Kitchen
Nellie's Kitchen in Saskatoon serves up a distinctive blend of homestyle comfort food anchored by both Vietnamese and Eastern European influences. Located on 22 St W, this restaurant is a spot where locals often find themselves returning for generous portions that balance familiar flavors with thoughtful house touches.
Stepping inside, you'll notice a warm, unpretentious atmosphere that feels more like visiting a family dining room than a typical restaurant. The service is friendly and efficient, fitting well with the no-fuss environment where the focus remains on hearty, satisfying meals rather than formality.
The menu reflects this approach, offering a range that spans Vietnamese noodle bowls—including grilled pork with spring rolls and vibrant, fresh vegetables—to traditional Canadian breakfasts like the "Hungry Man" plate or Nellie's homemade hamburger steak breakfast. The Egg Salad Sandwich with pickles, served cold, is a local favorite noted for its simple, classic flavors done right, suggesting this is the kind of place that takes pride in doing straightforward dishes well.
Portion sizes tend to be generous, accommodating those looking for a filling lunch or breakfast. Whether you’re in for a midday meal or a relaxed weekend brunch, the combination of comforting food and an unhurried dining pace makes Nellie's Kitchen particularly suited for anyone seeking a familiar, approachable meal without the crowd or rush of busier spots.

The atmosphere encourages casual dining with friends or family, and it’s easy to see why people come here for reliable, straightforward food that doesn’t try to be anything more than satisfying.
If you enjoy meals with a home-cooked feel that mix cultural influences comfortably and appreciate hearty portions, Nellie's Kitchen offers a down-to-earth dining experience that fits well into the 22 St neighborhood for both locals and visitors passing through.
