Best Southern American Restaurants in The Orleans Hotel & Casino

We honestly love Nellie’s! Since trying it out 1.5 years ago, we have returned about 6 times and it’s amazing. Service is top tier, food is amazing and consistent service brings us back every single time. We will be loyal returners for years to come. My favorite is the catfish and the greens!

The ambiance here is pretty cool. It has a very modern industrial look to it however the lighting is very dim. We are all in our 30’s and felt like we needed a reading light to see the menu lol. We did have a hard time finding the place but that’s consistent with every restaurant inside a casino in Vegas just make time for that if you have a reservation! We came here for breakfast. Our food was good. Nothing to write home about but overall good. Cons: The chicken (which is what they are known for) on all of our dishes wasn’t very crispy. It’s fried chicken so that was a little disappointing. the hash-browns look good but also weren’t crispy and flavor was 2/10. The Bloody Mary was good but seemed to have an off after taste. Pros: The mimosa with fresh squeezed orange juice was 10/10. Biscuits and gravy were delicious. Gravy had amazing flavor. The eggs were perfectly cooked, drinks were consistently refilled and empty plates removed in a timely manner. Our server was friendly and efficient. Overall it’s was a good experience.

It was our first time in Virgil's and the experience was great! It was Christmas night and we were able to book a table quickly. The ambiance was festive and there was live (Christmas) music which was a nice touch. Food was good, we had Beef Brisket and BBQ Chicken and they both were tasty and arrived quickly. The service was the best part. Hostesses were friendly and accomodating and our server was frequently checking in on us even though it was a full house. Great overall experience and would not hesitate to go back!
