    This is one of my favs spots to go for breakfast & lunch! Service is always good and quick. I like sitting in the booths. The chicken cordon bleu croissant sand which is amazing!! They make homemade soup that I haven't tried yet but am excited to next time! Follow me for more reviews on Instagram at Yelpershawn.

    Quick service. French toast was delicious! Coffee was too watery for me and taste burnt.

    This has been a regular spot for us the past couple years. Good food and great chili! Good friendly service, and nice seating. Unfortunately the last time we stopped for lunch the chili wasn't the same, still very tasty but the beans were hard, waxy & a bit chewy. Hope to be back for the original chili soon!

    Friendly staff! I was seated promptly even when the place looked busy. No frills place but don't be fooled. They have an expansive menu with many different options and side choices. GF bread was only $1 up charge. They also have soups of the day. Eggs, bacon and GF buttered toast were cooked near perfect. I was disappointed with the hash browns, hoping they would be crispier. They were kissed on the grill and not browned enough. Next time I'll ask for extra crispy!

    Love supporting local businesses when we travel. Ellie's was the perfect mix of breakfast for lunch and lunch for lunch. I had two pancakes smothered in whipped butter and syrup. Nice and fluffy and so good. Husband had the chicken bacon ranch salad. It was huge with lots of toppings. He thought it was very good. Service was excellent. We found a nice booth in the back. Cozy diner vibe here. Lots of other patrons enjoying the experience. Gotta love a place that proudly shows their 'People love us on Yelp' sticker on the front door. We agree!

    While there's nothing outstanding here, they get the job done if you're hankering for a reasonably priced breakfast. The portions aren't large but about right given the lower than average prices. Service was efficient and friendly. And based on the clientele, pretty sure this place is a "regular" haunt for many. Typical decor for a clean, unpretentious breakfast diner. Plenty of seating with lots of booths.

    Food was good for the price. Service was not great. Was not busy and the focus was on cleaning tables rather than refilling coffee etc.

    Kinda basic, but popular and service is great. Be prepared to wait for a table if going at typical mid-morning times.

And because of this, we will think about giving it another shot. But it was a Thursday lunch that me and my husband decided to stop here. There were only a couple other two tops in the restaurant. We were hopeful, because we didn't have a lot of time during work hours. We were seated right away with menus. The server neglected to come back for about 10 minutes, took our drink order and another 10 minutes went by until I got my drink... My husband never got his. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and Brussel sprout salad. It took another 20 minutes or more for our food to arrive and we did not have silverware. The bartender comes out a few minutes later with silverware and apologizes. It was another 10 minutes before we saw the server again, at which point we wanted our check. It took another 10 minutes for that! To say the service was disappointing is an extreme understatement.

We've always had good food in Madison and even though we wanted to get home after a long day, we thought it would be worth the delay. Unfortunately, this time, it wasn't worth it. I feel like it's time and money wasted. I'll get to details, but I'm mainly basing this review on the quality of the food I received. Before getting to the food, our service was great. Our server was a bit slow considering there were only 3 tables (including us) occupied. Or it's more of a relaxed atmosphere, so she was just giving us a lot of time to look over the menu. But aside from that, she was friendly, helpful, and kind. Atmosphere is on the dark side. There are two screens to play games (golf, etc) on two corners of the building. I think there are plenty of options, but we were mainly in for food, and didn't really get much info on the games. I did ask whether they were run on a reservation basis, and the hostess (who was also our server) said yes. She didn't mention any pricing, so I'm not sure what the details on that is. Margarita special $5 This was great. Not overly sweet, and just the right amount of booze. It came in a whiskey cup rather than a margarita one. 3sheep chaos pattern on draft Price for draft beer is not cheap, and the beer was great. The glass it came in was super clean, but also warm. I think it just came out of the dishwasher... So clean, but beer glasses should be cold on principle. Wings The description says these are baked, and then fried before tossed in their sauce. The sauce is yummy. The wings are a fairly large size. But I think they forgot to fry it. The skin on the wings weren't at all crispy, but kinda mushy. The meat was well cooked, but also on the dry side. The celery sticks and carrot rings on the side were super fresh and crispy. Blind burger with side salad I ordered it done medium. It came out very well done. For a wagyu, it lacked fat content, and cooked for too long, so it was very dry. We had just hiked 4 hours at Devil's Lake and quite hungry, but I couldn't finish it. Seasoning was great though. And the side salad was also very fresh. Brussels sprouts Something I haven't done in the last 15 years... I had to ask them to redo it. It came out with underdone Brussels. Interestingly, after I asked them to heat it up more for me, it came out perfect, with the right amount of searing on all the cut sides. Overall, it feels like the kitchen was having a bad day and bad timing - wings needed to get in the fryer for longer, burger should've been out of the pan sooner, Brussels should've stayed in longer. For the prices I paid, I expect better food. Especially since the kitchen knows how to fix their stuff! It was like they put 70% into all the dishes until I spoke up. Would I go back? Nope. Not convinced that the 4.4 rating is justified for me.

It was pretty busy at lunch time on a weekend, but luckily we were able to snag seats at the bar. The staff were very friendly and attentive, kindly offering recommendations. I loved that the menu offered both elevated takes on classic dishes in addition to a rotating seasonal menu. Eventually, we decided on the kimchi reuben and the Vindicator, which was essentially a turkey club. There was a great selection of sides to choose from as well, so we went with the wasabi green beans and seasonal lemon zucchini pasta salad. The turkey club was served on sourdough from an amazing artisan bakery down the street, and was absolutely stacked with delicious, high quality ingredients. A large slab of melted cheddar paired perfectly with a smoky chipotle aioli, which almost tasted like bacon. The reuben was also super unique- all of the flavors came together very well, and I loved the contrast of having refreshing kimchi to cut through the decadent Swiss and pastrami. The pasta salad was dangerously addictive and had the creamiest lemon Parmesan dressing. I thought the green beans were crunchy and well cooked, but didn't really taste any wasabi. We left full with leftovers, and felt that the value was great given the quality and quantity of the dishes. I would absolutely be back given the chance, and highly recommend paying a visit!
