Breakfast was good, but the doughnuts were not what I had read about and were fried dough coated with cinnamon sugar. Still tasty, but I was disappointed they were not the ricotta doughnuts. The rest of the meal was good and there was plenty of food!

Breakfast plans in Everglades City, FL? Now you do! Nely's Corner is the perfect breakfast stop before going on an airboat tour. They are friendly, priced reasonably, and the food is awesome! Thank you Nely's Corner for a great meal in an unsuspecting location. …

It was an unbelievable great place. It's located inside a bait shop, gas station comb. The food was excellent and so was the service. The fish was freshly caught the same morning before we arrived. The whole setup was simple but great. We were in the area a week and I would put this as the best dining experience of the trip!

We ate here twice in three days we were in the area & thought it was great. Good food, good service & reasonable prices.I only wish you could get shrimp & grits at lunch time. It's fabulous.Oh, and the key lime pie rocks, too.

We were on our way to visit Shark Valley and we were super hungry. Stopped at this place to grab a quick bite to eat. The restaurant was inside the convenient store and they have a good selection of food on their menu to chose from. Staff was super friendly. Food was very good will be back for sure when we head that way.

This great little spot is hiding in the gas station. Locals are friendly and the menu is varied and tasty! Had a shrimp “flo” boy and it was delicious!

It is a treat to feel so welcomed at local cafes - it makes the food taste even better!!! Best way to get a sense of the community. I like to support local economy whenever I travel, especially in areas that have been affected by recent hurricanes.

Really cool spot. It's somewhat of a hybrid bait and tackle shop, convenience store, and cafe, with some higher end fishing supplies, amazing food, a cool atmosphere and decor, and great selection. We had breakfast burritos with some of the best pico de gallo we've ever tasted, and some great coffee and hot tea. Definitely worth a visit.
