I loved the food , but the cust service is something that is lacking here.The waitress just tossed the silverware on the table. Didn't bother explaining anything. And didn't smile once. But customer service aside this was delicious. I'm not really a burger person but mine was juicy and flavorful. I had the Frisco burger (Texas toast with Swiss cheese, onions, thousand island dressing, and 1/3 patty. I think I'm missing something) Onion rings (that's right you have to order separately) Ice tea (strangely it numbed my lips, maybe it was the lemon) and Rhubarb pie ( VERY good) I also tried a bite of Carmel Apple pie (DELICIOUS! i couldn't get anymore the owner of the slice was being stingy , cant blame her) a bite of Sour Cream Raisin pie (it was good, its my grandmas favorite, shes looking for the recipe, so i am looking for the recipe of course)

If You Build it, They Will Eat: Joey & Carol Johnson are the owners of a restaurant called "Nellie's Café, a.k.a. The Little Café on the Prairie." It's the kind of place you can easily pass by as the outside isn't real fancy. It's a simple, clean, plain brown building with a smaller than expected sign as compared to more gaudy attention getting eateries. In fact, it's one of my all too seldom "happy accidents" that I found it. I'm very glad I did because more than the excellent service and food, I dined in a historical landmark. I was never aware that the TV show "Little House on the Prairie" was based on a real family, in a real location. One of the staff was very patient with me as I displayed my out of town ignorance but with eager persistence to learn the story of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her childhood home of Walnut grove MN. The food is as excellent a value as its taste. For a tourist attraction, the owners of Nellie's are definitely not over-pricing as is typical with some vacation/tourist spots. When the celebrities come by for the many related Little House activities, Nellie's is their preferred stop. walnutgrove.org

This place was disappointing. My husbands BLT and onion rings were good, but the rest of the 5 meals weren't great. It's nothing special and it's not a cute and quaint restaurant-it could have such potential given the location. Skip this town, pack a lunch and head to the Ingalls homestead in DeSmet, SD!

We found this little roadside diner to be friendly and efficient. My husband and I both had the burgers with grilled onion and thousand island dressing. The burgers were juicy and tasty, and the sliced tomato was fresh and flavorful. The best part of the meal was the fresh cut French fried potatoes - the best French fries I have had in a long time. We almost avoided Nellie's because of other reviewer's comments, but I'm glad we gave it a try and would recommend it!

This place was a classic of example of missed-out potential. You'd think with the Little House on the Prairie museum across the way and the restaurant's moniker, they would try to be at least a little more creative in decor, themes, and menu items. Other than a few autographed pics of some of the LHOP actors hanging on a wall, it seemed like little if any effort had been made to capitalize on its proximity to all things Laura Ingalls Wilder. If I were Alison Arngrim (who played Nellie on the TV show), I'd want to sit down with the owner and say, "Let's talk about a couple ways we could add some pizzazz to this place..." That said, if you simply take the restaurant at its face value -- a small-town family restaurant where locals sit around and jawjack during their morning coffee breaks -- then it is probably about as good as things get in this part of Minnesota. I had the pizza burger, which wasn't bad, but also lacked anything memorable. Yeah, the waitress was grim and no-nonsense and acted a little stressed out by the presence of our 4- and 1-year-old, but you'll have that. Apparently I should have tried the pie. Even though they don't take cash, they took our out-of-state check. I guess that qualifies as an act of the "Minnesota nice" we've heard so much about.

We stopped here on our way through Walnut Grove. We had eaten here before and found the food to be good on our first visit. Our second visit was just ok. Our daughter ordered the Chicken Wrap and said it was delicious, and I ordered the Frisco Burger which was also tasty. However, our fries were a bit on the greasy side. Not that thrilled with the fries that we received. My husband ordered the daily Commercial special and he said it was okay. Overall, it was ok but not fantastic food, but the atmosphere of the small town cafe is always a welcome sight. We did enjoy browsing the wall of autographed photos the cafe had on display of the stars of the "Little House on the Prairie" TV series that had visited the real Walnut Grove. One word of warning is the restrooms are VERY small here. Would be very difficult for anyone with a handicap to use these restrooms and there is virtually no room for diaper changes of small children. Be prepared if someone does have a need for a restroom.

Cute local family run cafe to stop by for lunch. It is what it advertises, "homestyle" meals. Burgers are the main attractions here. There were at least 12 different Burgers to choose from. You could also choose various potato sides, from tater-tots, to sweet potato fries, to seasoned wedge fries. I enjoyed the meal thoroughly. Great burgers and potato wedges. By the way, they only take cash, so be prepared.
