Ellie's Breakfast & Lunch

When I saw how many reviews there were on this restaurant, and it was still almost a five. I was a little skeptical. But I must tell you the food was amazing! The only thing better than the food was the service. Small privately owned restaurants like this deserve, our patronage! Thank you so much Ellie for a wonderful breakfast! Don’t forget, we must support local businesses!

Elie's is Westchase's breakfast gem. It's got that awesome local diner vibe nailed down. I'm pretty sure the owner's a Philly native because his cheesesteak will transport you! We're hooked. Seriously, my boyfriend begs to bring me here every single weekend. It's quickly become tradition! Fantastic service, fantastic food, it's a 5/5 for us. See you next weekend!

We come here all the time! Ellie's is such a fantastic neighborhood staple. The staff is super friendly and even when it's crowded the wait is not very long. Everything is delicious! At this point I think we've eaten through the whole menu and nothing has been disappointing. The fries and eggs tend to be served under salted but it's easy to salt to taste at the table.

I had passed by Ellie's often without stopping in. I remedied that this past weekend when my wife and I went to Ellie's for Sunday Brunch before catching a movie matinee. The menu was chock full of beloved American favorites for both breakfast and lunch fare. My wife ordered a combination of eggs, bacon and a pancake. I eat a LOT more than she does, and ordered Corned Beef Hash, home fries, and grits. The Hash was cooked to PERFECTION with that perfect crispy glaze on top. The grits (NOT out of a packet) were creamy, and they had already added butter, to my delight. The home fries were likewise cooked to perfection. Our meals were whisked out to us in just the right amount of time to know that they were cooked (not warmed), but still quickly. The food was piping hot. The service was impeccable. Not only did our assigned server help us, but every OTHER server that passed our table asked if we needed anything. Our drinks were magically refilled without ONCE having to look around for a server. They are the epitome of a proud establishment that delivers "Old Skool Hospitality." 5 of 5 STARS!!!
