In Short
Buried in a low-profile office building under the freeway in West Oakland, this cavernous restaurant still manages to pack its plastic-covered tables to the gills with finger-licking professionals and neighborhood families. The menu is crammed with soul food standbys, like pan-fried chicken, smothered steak and a wide array of side orders, including yams, collard greens and black-eyed peas. A jukebox pumps gospel tunes through the dining room and adjoining bar, adding to the community atmosphere.

The place has really changed for the worse. The pork chops we had were waaay too salty, but my dogs really seemed to enjoy them. When I first found this place years ago on 58th and Shattuck in Berkeley, it was fantastic.

The food here is great where it reminds me of my grandmother southern dishes. If you are in the West Oakland area and you are looking for a southern mean that will bring soul to your bones Nellie's Soul food is the place to be. And if you are feel a little thumb in your foot after eater your meal the bar area has a little area where you can get your grove on.

Nellie's Soulfood Restaurant & Bar has the best soulfood it taste just like the way my mother used to prepare her meals. You can eat it and not have to add any seasonings to it, it is just that good. My favorite meal is the short ribs, greens, rice/gravy, yams, and we can not forget the cornbread, you can not have greens and no cornbread. My goodness just thinking about it makes my mouth very watery. They give you more than enough, i can never eat all of my food, i always have some leftover for that late night snack. And you know what they say it always taste better the next day. Mary Maggieline Moore
