Plot Synopsis

Kevin Jonas Sr. and his wife Denise have spent the past decade helping to grow their sons' musical careers, and have now returned to Belmont, North Carolina to pursue their dream of opening a restaurant that pays tribute to Kevin Sr.'s grandmother, Nellie, as she was the perfect picture of Southern hospitality. Their vision is to create a true Southern country wonderland, filled with delicious food and live music. Kevin, Joe, Nick and Frankie Jonas head back to their Southern roots in Belmont to support their father's dream, but the family doesn't know a thing about opening and running a restaurant. With only seven days to complete construction, hire and train the wait staff, and test the recipes before they open the doors, the whole family must come together to get everything done in time. It is all hands on deck, as Frankie Jonas taste tests the dishes, Kevin Jonas lends a hand with the restaurant's construction, and Joe Jonas shares some helpful lessons with his dad that he learned from his experience opening a restaurant in LA. Nick Jonas also joins to support his parents and celebrate the milestone as Nellie's Southern Kitchen opens its doors for the first time to serve delicious Southern cuisine. To mark the occasion, Joe and his band DNCE give a special surprise performance for all the attendees to enjoy. Food Network premiered the "Nellie's Grand Opening" episode of JONAS RESTAURANT: FAMILY STYLE on Monday, December 26, 2016 at 7pm ET/PT, but the cable channel had no other episodes on its schedule at that time.
