Reviews of Eli’s Restaurant (Restaurant)

Anslem Fournillier

This has always been my favourite breakfast spot for as long as I can remember! Food is flavourful and service was awesome! If you haven’t tried this place, you’re missing out!!

Micha D

Regular here, come a couple times and they know how you like your coffee and preferred seating. Large servings, great quality and everything is homemade. Large communal table is nice for meeting people. Local favourite!

David King

So good. Homemade everything! Exactly what you picture a breakfast & lunch diner to be. Would go again if we are in town.

Wonderful breakfast dish I was served. They are also using quality meats from a local butcher. They are sticking with traditional breakfasts as well as adding a few a dishes that are up a level

Found out it will be under new management/owner. Different cook but being taught by Eli and given Eli's recipes.

Run of the mill. And if you want onions in your home fries, it's a dollar? Really? Are things that bad?

Glenn Campbell

Good breakfast! Efficient service.

Steve Cameron

Huge serving sizes, always delicious and always fast. Love the 6-egg omelette with peameal bacon.

Tony Sommerdyk

Went there this morning for Breakfast... Half way into the Omlette found a large piece of plastic wrapper in the eggs. Called the older Asian Waitress over who had served us....showed her She said quite loudly yes it's a piece of wrapper from the Cheese...no problem just plastic I said yes I see that it's in the food She said no problem...I said I think there is She said no no problem just plastic what do you want me to do I said Really!! She said ya so what. There's more but to idiotic to bother with. So take your chances here because crap in your food is no problem.

Brian Cox

Food was great.. Service needed work. All 5 meals came at different times... No toast came with eggs on time.. Had to wait.. Eggs got cold.

Kim Turnbull

Best fresh corn beef hash I have a had in a long time. Ordered a plate to go! French toast is to die for.

Matteo Pepe

Waffles!!!! You gotta get the waffles! The food is always on point and staff are always friendly. Couldn't think of a better spot to go grab some food. Definitely worth checking them out!

Mike Thain

Went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. Food came out in a timely manner and was very good. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Paying the bill was a little confusing but we had a large group so I guess I can't fault them for that. All in all a good experience. Would go again.

Ann Bouwmeester

Great home cooked meals. Friendly staff. One of our favorite places to eat.

Jason Arkley

Barb Patrick-Broadbent

Delicious food, decent portions, great prices.

Debbe Behnke

Very good mom n pop restaurant

Rob Macdonald

We were in town and stopped in for breakfast. They have a nice out door area just behind the restaurant. It wasn't too busy for a Friday morning. The omelettes were very good. Coffee was hot and the mugs were kept hot and full. The service was good as well. They have a good size parking lot and it is easily accessible from road.

Allan Congo

Great breakfast, nice atmosphere, waffles were amazing! Couldn’t be better!

Elis is unreal. Great breakfast and lunch options. Classic atmosphere and friendly staff give this place a welcoming neighborhood feel.

Sibyl R

Their food is good, a little oily but tasty and good portions!

Andrea Gillier

Only had the breakfast sandwiches but they were very good. Fast friendly service of basic diner foods. They're working hard to adjust to conditions during the pandemic shutdowns.

Michelle Mouratidis

Great menu and excellent food and service

Shawn Tang

Went in today had the hot Turkey and fries with soup. The soup was amazing! The hot turkey not so much at all...the gravy wasnt even turkey...the gravy and the turkey had an off flavor...when we told the waitress she went back and told the owner as I was walking up to pay...no apology from the owner and not even some money off the bill as we returned over half the food...so 32 bucks down the drain!!! Worked in culinary all my life and I have never served something and not take the criticism and apologize and refund some of the cost...if ur customers are not happy you do something to make them want to come back...I would feel bad being an owner and letting my customers have have to leave still hungry!

DJ Schwob

Tasty corned beef hash, cheery service, cash only.

Josh Benoot

Just tried the trackside eggs Benedict. So good! On feature every weekend. You won't be disappointed

Chris Eagleson

Quick, excellent tasting, wide menu variety, very friendly...Sunday morning comfy home tastes....half egg omellette! ( the day before i had the Belgian waffle) mmmMMMMmmmm!! Lol

Haley Mcrae

We went on mother's day and it seemed rather chaotic and unorganized but our service was fine. Not a fan of the omelette in terms of presentation - the egg and veggies aren't cooked together yet wrapped, it's hard to eat. The coffee is decent

Diane Brooks

My first experience was with my wife and I. We went there and was told by the owner/hostess to sit anywhere. We sat, placed our order and waited. The meals came out and my order was messed up by being short 2 eggs. Halfway done my meal the eggs came and she just flipped them over on my plate, the wrong side in a disgusted manner. They were even half cooked! The only upside to that visit was the chef came out who was a lot more pleasant and chatted with us a bit. Today I decided against all reason to give it a second shot and the visit lasted less than 5 minutes. This time she was quite rude towards me, a visible minority, and I just had to look at my wife to know we didn't feel welcomed there.

ann que

Had cold food, cold coffee and they said they would refill the coffee and instead they just talked to each other. The food is nothing special what so ever and not worth my visit ever again.

Taylor VR

Always a great breakfast! When you want some classic breakfast food, Eli's doesn't disappoint with delicious Schinkels meat, hash browns (ask for deep fried!) and other great sides. They've become my go-to!

Meg Ellacott

Lackluster & expensive..Scrambled eggs are fried.. over cooked. Sunny side eggs under cooked. But crispy on the bottom. Potatoes are soggy. Bacon is pre cooked and had definetly been sitting around for awhile. #dirtybacon #indegestion..Cooks are un accomidating; refused to cook home fries to our families liking. Decor and seating space is non existant. Wait staff is great. Seasoning salt was awesome. Coffee was also great. Regarding a previous comment about finding plastic in an omelette. I witnessed am older gent pull plastic from his omelette as well. Will never return.
