About us

Neli's Family Restaurant

South Beloit American diner classics

Family-run and proudly local, we cook with the kind of care that never goes out of style. Our kitchen starts early, simmering soups from scratch every morning, and keeps the griddle busy with made‑to‑order comforts. Breakfast plates, stacked sandwiches, crisp salads, and homestyle dinners share space with from‑scratch specials. Portions are generous, mugs stay warm, and our crew treats regulars and first‑timers with the same neighborly warmth. 

Kid-friendly picks and special-dietary selections on request make choosing easy for everyone. We take mindful steps behind the scenes, too, because good food and good sense belong together. Settle in a booth, and let us serve the food you crave, the way you like it - straightforward, hearty, and made in a place that feels like home.
