Ellie's 50's Diner

We chose this restaurant because the atmosphere and menu sounded like fun from the website. In person it was really disappointing. The 50's atmosphere was not as strong as I expected from the description, but the big let down was the food. My husband was apparently satisfied with his burger, but everything else was mediocre at best. The mozzarella sticks he ordered for an appetizer were clearly the pre-packaged, frozen kind, not fresh. Same with my chicken strips dinner, which was also not even actual chicken breast strips, but that "particle board" compressed chicken stuff which I could hardly force myself to eat and certainly did not finish. I'm pretty sure the fries were frozen too, and probably the veggies I had as a side as well. None of it seemed freshly prepared at all, although I wouldn't have minded that so much if it had at least been good, but it wasn't. The honey mustard dipping sauce was good, but it could in no way compensate for the rest of the meal. The service was okay, certainly not great, and definitely seemed slow for how quiet it was in the restaurant when we were there. more

this was the worst night out in a long time. they had a party in the back, the service in the diner was awful, and the waitress kept on saying "i cannot help it there is a party in the back" do you think we cared or that it was our problem that there was a part y in the back.. we waited 20 min for service in an empty diner. one hour for the food that was for my husband tasteless... his potato pancake was fried mashed potato which was more like a sauteed mashed potato... i am enclosing a picture of it that is how awful... we had to take a picture.. gross... will never go back again.... more

Have been going there for years. A great fall in place. Priced right, good food, friendly service. more

The food isn't enything spectacular. It's way overpriced for what it is and they don't take credit cards. more

Ellie's is that place with the Pink Caddy out front. They sell Elvis ties, the staff is nice, and you can get good diner-type food and sandwiches for a good value. They'll make you food for take-out as well, and they've been known to make up a sandwich that's not on the menu if you ask for it. Pros: good diner food, cute, good value more
