Eli's is part of the Dolphin Seafood building in downtown Natick. We had a friendly waitress who promptly greeted us and kept my water glass filled. She recommended the French toast which was awesome! I was able to switch it for the pancakes and, if you like cinnamon, I would definitely recommend you do the same. I ate nearly everything so the picture doesn't do it justice. read more

Amazing food, great service, the seating area is a bit tight but it's still a great experience.

Good food and great atmosphere. Everyone in my party of 5 thoroughly enjoyed the food. It's unfortunate I won't be able to go back for a while. read more

I find it rare to eat at a breakfast place and get great coffee and great food. It seems like you get one or the other. Eli's has both.

This rating is specifically for breakfast and especially for THE MOST PERFECT eggs benedict. Since going to Eli's, I have raved four times about this place about...... Potatoes. Yes, potatoes. I usually ask for a substitution for the starchy stodge that is a common side dish but I thought I'd give this a try. The homefries were glorious, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked with crisp outside and fluffy insides. I enjoy hot sauce but I have a compulsion to protect this perfect eggs benny dish from all outside flavor invaders. Thank you, Eli (though I've never met you). I'll be back.... A lot. And until then, I'll still be talking about your super cute nook with it's homey staff, chic surroundings and dedication to fantastic food. read more

Everything about this place is fantastic. The staff? Awesome. The service? Prompt and kind. And the food? Have you ever eaten a meal that was so good you called your mother who you haven't spoken to in months? I just did. Fantastic restaurant, not to be missed! read more

Delicious and out of the ordinary omelettes among many other choices for breakfast and lunch

Food is out of this world, especially the loaded tots!! Service is quick. What more could you ask for?

Perfection! Everything was delicious. Had a pumpkin cheesecake muffin (special) which was outstanding-not too sweet and you could actually taste the pumpkin! Bacon, carmelized onion, Gouda omelette was to die for! I substituted arugula for the standard spinach. Home fries were done perfectly and very fresh. Even the toast (marble rye) was toasted perfectly, actually warm with just the right amount of butter. read more

I had the Spartan breakfast and it was incredible. Large portions. Generous price. Friendly staff. We were served by Surgeon and he was friendly, caring, and accommodating. The atmosphere here is great as well, they accommodated great for Covid and just overall. Easy easy 5/5 start. Visit if you have a chance! read more

Cute place, friendly servers. Delicious blueberry pancakes and hot coffee in a cute mug. Very busy with a waiting line.

My husband said these were the best blueberry pancakes he ever had! Service was fast and polite. Menu was unique but not weird.

Great place for breakfast/brunch/lunch! Their menu has some very unique items! I got the Island breakfast and it was so good! Also got an iced coffee and a chocolate milk, coffee was good! They also have beers and alcoholic beverages like mimosas! It can get busy on the weekends, I went late on a Saturday morning and there was a 20 minute wait, not too bad. read more

Great place if you are ever craving amazing pancakes and waffles. I normally try to stick to healthier, less sugary breakfasts, but I like to indulge every once in a while. Their Belgian waffle with strawberries + whipped cream is to die for. Service was friendly, but unfortunately they forgot the coffee I ordered. read more

I did a take out breakfast today from Eli's. The bacon was cooked to the perfect crispness, the eggs and rye toast were on par and the portion of properly seasoned home fries was huge. I could only eat one third so there are leftovers for tomorrow. The owners are very nice. Consider Eli's for breakfast or lunch. You'll be glad you did! read more

We found this place on Yelp. Little breakfast and lunch place- but I think they serve dinner ( and alcohol too). We went on Sat at noon. Had to wait about 15 min. It only has 15 or so tables. Everyone was pleasant and working hard. Food took a bit longer than your usual diner, but it was terrific. Home fries were a favorite, but eggs were all perfect. When we return to this area, we will definitely eat here. read more

Looking for a great cozy breakfast spot? In Natick Center, you can't go wrong here. Food is fresh, very tasty with big portions at a reasonable price. Plate sized pancakes and omelettes that will leave you stuffed. Staff is welcoming and friendly. The place is jammed on the weekends and its first come first serve but worth the wait. read more

Great for breakfast and brunch, but also for lunch! Delicious items for breakfast include the granola parfait, blueberry pancakes, and many other choices such as Turn Two where you get two eggs, meat, and three pancakes. Lunch is also amazing! The B.Y.O.B has a large amount of ingredients to build the perfect burger to cater to individual taste, and the bean burger is a great choice for vegetarian eaters. Will come back regularly! read more

Excellent, 1st time trying here. Waitress was Carol, she was very pleasant, brought me cold water as soon as I sat down. Had a hard time choosing between breakfast and lunch. Decided on the grilled cheese with bacon, tomato and grilled onions on a hearty rye bread. Enjoyed it very much. Got a side of cole slaw, plenty of it, just okay. Also got an iced Chai tea. It was very refreshing, delicious. All in all a great place and a great lunch. read more

Wow incredible a little pricey and a tad bit noisy but food is very generous and wonderful! I just moved to Natick and the complex where I live is updating the apartment above me so lots of banging going on so I escaped and am discovering downtown Natick. A lot of interesting shops and dining. My waiter was very nice and prompt. I got breakfast for lunch and its amazing!! I'm gonna try to post a pic. read more

Best fried pickles I've ever had - light, crunchy batter. I don't like spicy sauces so had them with a side of ranch dressing and they were yummy. The breakfast burger was delicious. The sweet potato fries were also the best I've had! On an earlier visit I had the eggs Benedict which were good but I didn't particularly care for the home fries - the potatoes were too big and not crispy at all. The servers are very friendly and attentive. The owner was there all 3 times I went - taking orders, serving, cleaning tables, which was nice to see. This is a great restaurant and I highly recommend you try it - you won't be disappointed! read more

Breakfast is really good here. Would like the home fries to be cooked with onions though. (Personal preference.) Service can be hit or miss. Flagging down a waitress is not always easy. And the place can get quite noisy- even when not busy. But the quality and quantity of the food puts them in the top tier of diners around here. read more

Enjoyed a great breakfast with my sons after their lacrosse game. With big appetites, we were not disappointed. Not your regular breakfast place...upscale food choices with a unique twist on breakfast options, without higher prices. Only downside is the wait due to the small dining room. read more

Went in this morning and the place was crowded, but the restaurant God smiled down on us so there was no wait at all. In search of tea over coffee, were offered 7-8 different tea flavors. We happened to love the Tazo Wild Orange today. Other times they had a great Hibiscus flavored tea that was pretty yummy too. The breakfast bowl with pit ham, bacon & cheddar cheese over the house potatoes were so flavorful. If you like a little heat, get a side of Pico de Gallo to add over these- uhhh-mazing! One of my fav dishes here and always more than filling with some to bring home for later The service was speedy and professional. The setting is that of a community and a homey feel. Great place to have repeat visits for couples and families. If you haven't popped in, then you should. This place rocks and the breakfast and burgers are so delicious! read more

Found Eli's on yelp when we realized our other brunch choice would be an hour and a half wait and boy are we glad we did! I had the buttermilk pancakes with wild Maine blueberries, yum!, and my parents had veggie omelets which were also excellent. Oh and the hot chocolate comes in a cute cozy mug. Service was friendly and reasonably fast. Local family feel ambiance was perfect. We called ahead to put our name in when we were on the way, so there was no wait. This was a great find and we will definitely be back! read more

Eli's - KP's Avo Toast... To die for! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

Hello friends, have you been to Eli's yet? No? Do yourself a favor and get over there. As much as I would love to have this place continue to be a semi "hidden" gem in the center of Natick for my wife and I, I can't help but say good things about them. The service is absolutely fantastic. Fast, and friendly. The food is wonderful. My wife a breakfast sandwich gal, and they have a plethora of options that are all filling, unique, and delicious (guilty of stealing large bites). For me, I generally get their omelets and eggs benedict. All are prepared wonderfully, with lots of flavor, and generous portions as well. My only minor critique is the cold brew, as it is not (I believe) free refills, and is a little on the pricier side. However their regular coffee is still reasonably good. read more

Eaten here many times and have to applaud the consistency. I've tried both brunch and lunch and everything is always delicious, great portions, and very reasonably priced especially compared to other places nearby. Go-to are the omelettes, high-quality toppings wrapped in a huge eggy blanket. You definitely won't leave hungry. Only compliant is that the service can be slow and waits can be long, though the nitro cold brew and porky pig make it all worth it. read more

What a nice find! We were in Natick coming back from an appointment when we decided to stop somewhere for brunch. Not a big restaurant but luckily we didn't have to wait for a table for 4 on a Saturday morning around 11. Cute and homey decor and the service is super friendly. The food took a little longer than expected but time drags when you are hungry and you have impatient little ones lol. The food is good. We got the Spartan and Island Breakfast but I think I will try something else next time. And their lunch menu looks good too. read more

Love this place. I wish I had written this before the pandemic. Consider this a love letter to one of the best most awesome places to eat in the area. May we all be lucky enough to eat there again soon. You can get started with the crispy Brussels sprouts or deviled eggs. Have a mimosa too! Then on to burgers or sandwiches or salads. Order whatever you want, it's all good. But where my own heart lies is the omelettes, toast, tater tots. Yes. At last, someone has realized that tater tots are simply the highest form of breakfast potato. We miss miss miss Eli's. The people, the fun atmosphere, the food. Stay safe! read more

Delicious french toast and excellent atmosphere! The cinnamon butter topping took it from a great dish to an AMAZING one! Such a cute gem in Natick. Definitely pay them a visit! read more

We've been to Eli's three times now and I can safely say it's a great burger/breakfast place. First time we had breakfast and were blown away. The last two times for lunch and the burgers are amazing. The place is always busy and the wait staff is friendly and very aware of your needs during your dining experience. The restaurant is clean, food always hot and we'll be going back again! I've attached a few images. read more

I love this hidden gem in downtown Natick adjacent to the Dolphin. The menu serves breakfast and lunch. They have the most amazing avocado toast. Eggs Benedict, French toast pancakes etc and burgers and fries are amazing ..just to mention a few ... and the Tator tots are so yummy!! They did an awesome job stepping up and making Covid dining outside possible. So safe and so clean. Made reservations and enjoyed each time I've eaten there. Never disappoints read more
