When asked, they'll cook the crust well done, the way I like it. They also make a variety of very cool specialty pies that others in the house gravitate to. I like to order my toppings a la carté, usually pepperoni + roasted red peppers (or pepperoni + mushrooms; or all three). Roasted peppers--not raw--are a must for me.

Everyone loves food, and going out to eat. Especially for breakfast. Everyone loves breakfast there are so many yummy breakfast choices to choose from. Eli's in Natick is the best place to get breakfast because first of all there is not a chain restaurant they are a family restaurant and they have great food and service they also have a great friendly atmosphere. Elis has the best service. For instance, one very pleased customer stated, "The servers are very friendly and attentive. The owner was there all 3 times I went - taking orders, serving, and cleaning tables, which was nice to see. " Others say stuff like "Friendly staff, " "They are very generous about keeping your coffee full." This all proves that their service is awesome beyond all reason. Elis's food is outstanding and delicious. They have so many foods. From ones, you might not have known about to everyday faves. So many people love Eli's food for example, here are some comments people said about their food, "Enormous omelets lead the breakfast fare. But it goes so far beyond. Tasty tots, great specials, and coffee that tastes like coffee. Plenty of variety of breakfast foods, so there is something for everyone. " People easily love their coffee and tots. One mom of 3 kids said, "The coffee is so good I could have it every morning." Another person says "Have you had their tots there outstanding" This amazingly proves that people love the food and there are so many great foods at Eli's. Lastly, Eli's is the best breakfast place because they're a family restaurant, not a chain restaurant. Meaning Elis has special family recipes and there's only one Eli's Breakfast in the world so it's special to Natick unlike The Cheesecake Factory and Chipotle which are chain restaurants. Eli's even has backstories behind some of the meals and chains would not have that. For example, there's a meal named after each member of the family that owns Eli's. They are Hot mama (The mom of the family), Big Eli (The dad of the family), Little Eli (the son of the family), and Chrissa-Belle (the daughter of the family). There are also other cool names that chains would not have like G-force, and No name. This all strongly proves how Eli's (a family restaurant) is much better than any other restaurant especially chain restaurants. The Atmosphere is great. And more than likely you will see someone you know. There is a show called Cheers. where everybody knew your name when you walked in. Eli's is just like that. And if they don't know you, they will before you leave. The staff are very friendly and will get to know you quickly. Even the manager will get to know you. Every time you walk into the restaurant there's an 87% chance that you will see someone you know. That's because it's a great place to catch up with your friends. Eli's ultimately has a great apostrophe. Ultimately Eli's is the best breakfast restaurant ever and overall the best place to get breakfast because first of all there is not a chain restaurant they are a family restaurant and they have great food and service they also have a great friendly atmosphere. So when you are craving a yummy breakfast with buddies of yours or family go to Eli's. -Eva Casali read more

I recently visited Eli's for brunch, and while the staff and service were friendly, and the atmosphere was nice, I wasn't too impressed with the food. I ordered the cheesy tots and the Gold Rush omelette. Unfortunately, neither dish hit the mark. The tots had a slightly weird taste and felt a bit heavier than I expected. As for the omelette, it was on the bland side and really salty. The side of home fries didn't add much flavor either honestly, I could have made a better version at home. I'm sure they have a lot of great options on the menu, so maybe I just picked the wrong dishes, but based on this experience, I wasn't blown away. Might have to give it another try in the future. read more

We love going to Eli's for brunch. Their Cuban sandwich special is my favorite, followed by their Kali sandwich. It's not too quality per se, but the food is much better than anything else around for breakfast. The wait staff is super friendly and the vibe is cute. Their drinks are pretty bad though - definitely don't recommend getting their version of a Bloody Mary or mimosa. Though maybe they've gotten better. I recommend checking them out for sure! read more

I like this place. It feels spacious, and the brunch was well made. The food wasn't too greasy or overcooked. The pancakes were awesome. I want to try this place again to see if they are consistent. However, the potatoes were mushy and not crispy on the outside. The wait staff looked very young; I don't think I saw anyone who looked like an adult. Maybe the cooks were older. There was plenty of parking, and the inside was clean. read more
