Jonas Brothers' Nellie's Southern Kitchen Closes Doors
25 May
Summary
- Nellie's Southern Kitchen in Las Vegas is closing on May 25.
- The restaurant cited lease expiration as a strategic decision.
- The restaurant was named after Kevin Jonas Sr.'s late grandmother.
Nellie's Southern Kitchen, a Las Vegas restaurant co-owned by the Jonas family, will close its doors permanently after service on May 25, 2026. The restaurant's spokesperson stated that the closure is a strategic decision related to the lease's expiration, indicating a refocusing of long-term efforts.
The 11,000-square-foot establishment first opened its doors in Las Vegas on June 4, 2022, near the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The restaurant was named in honor of Kevin Jonas Sr.'s grandmother, whose treasured family recipes form the basis of the Southern-inspired menu.
The original Nellie's Southern Kitchen opened in Belmont, North Carolina, in 2016. The family emphasized authentic Southern hospitality and comfort, with recipes passed down through generations. The Las Vegas location aimed to provide an "elevated" Southern dining experience, reminiscent of a family gathering, with an emphasis on music and good times.
While specific reasons for the closure beyond lease expiration were not detailed, representatives for the restaurant and MGM Resorts did not immediately comment on the closure.
