Everything was good: Service, food and cleanliness. Came in for breakfast with a large party of nine. They allowed us to make reservations even though they usually don't take reservations. However, since it was such a large party and the place is relatively small, we are glad they made accommodations for us. Our waitress Becky was super sweet and attentive. We ordered a variety of different dishes and everyone loved everything. The bacon was the bomb! And the portion sizes were huge. I am glad they allowed me to subsitute the home fries for fruit instead. And I'm usually not a fan of American cheese, however, it went so well with the omelet... I loved it. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast. You won't be disappointed. read more

While staying at the Abbey recently, we got our day started a little later than expected and unfortunately missed the breakfast cut off. You know the moment when you say... F'this! I'm on vacation and if I want eggs at noon.... I should be able to have eggs at noon! While on our adventure to find such an establishment, we were told about Elizabeth's. We plugged it into GPS and seated with coffee only 20 minutes later. They have a lot of options. I went basic eggs, bacon, toast, hash browns and a side of biscuits and gravy. The BF went with steak and eggs. Wow, I was impressed! Something so simple and they just knocked it right out of the park! Eggs perfect, bacon perfect, coffee overflowing and the BF had a nice steak that I enjoyed a bite of. Highly recommend this hole in the wall!!! read more

One of those good small town gems, Never had a bad meal in all the times i have eaten at Elizabeths, Great breakfasts, good lunch and dinner specials. No complaints on my end, Fast and friendly staff good food at great prices. read more

Good small town restaurant and incredibly friendly staff. Even our family of 8 found room. Soup tasted a bit bland but that's often the norm in the Midwest. Patty melt was amazing. Kids loved the pancakes. Great sized portions for good prices. Definitely a place we will continue to come back to. read more

A hidden treasure! I was recommended this small diner by a local and I had never been more glad to ask a stranger for advice ! The food was so good and the prices are very wallet-friendly. The service was super friendly and fast. we got extra water refills even when we didn't need any. Their coffee was a tad watered down but made it up with all the countless refills. My boyfriend whom doesn't like breakfast food loved this place and had been talking about it for weeks now. We tried their skillets with basted eggs and it was so yum . I wish I lived next door to this place! We would definitely visit again if we ever drive by again. read more

Excellent food and good prices service is always outstanding highly recommend this restaurant

Looking for a cute old fashion diner in a current updated beautiful setting, this is the place to go. Fast service, friendly staff and delicious food for low cost. My family of four ate here for $38 which is really reasonable for a sit down restaurant. They do not have gluten free breads or pasta, but let me exchange my bread for any other side I wanted (I ordered breakfast). Next time I will be trying dinner here! read more

TWO WORDS: FISH FRY. I come here for the fish fry when I can it is always legendary. The fish is amazing, potato pancakes amazing, DESERTS AMAZING, service is always wonderful. 10/10 read more

Great food with reasonable prices. Service is fast and friendly! They also serve breakfast all day long which is a plus.

Love this place!!! Very solid food and a great friendly staff. Usually a wait on the weekends, but worth it. Great value and a very big portion. I always get an omelet . They come out puffy and very tasty. Have never gotten a bad meal here and go out of my way when I'm in the area read more

I stopped here because of the Yelp reviews. It lived up to the hype. I will return if I want diner food next time I'm in town. There were 5 of us and everyone's orders were right in the first try. Serving sizes were plenty for any adult. Veggie breakfast burrito, hash browns, pancakes, grilled cheese, and 1x1x1 were all tasty. Service was friendly and fast. The menu was large. We were there on a Monday morning. read more

Good good, nice waitresses. Food comes out pretty fast and correct. Only ever had one issue and they took care of it!

We were in town for Thanksgiving and were out doing some shopping the day before. We stopped in for lunch. I have a cheeseburger on a croissant and it was really good! I added bacon as well. It was a nice change up from a normal burger with the croissant bun. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a good meal. read more

After reading reviews and recommendations from local shop owners we stopped there for lunch. Unless the reviews are based on breakfast , the lunch/dinner is average at best. The soup ....chicken pasta tasted like canned broth with overcooked shells. The salad the cucumber wasn't peeled. Bread basket... the bread came wrapped in plastic bags. Entrees... son had chicken Alfredo tasted like pasta with milk, I had the fisherman's platter the shrimp tasted like they were sitting around for awhile , last had a bite of my wife's chicken Italiano... it was dry. Sorry but have to say... ..Pass on it read more

I came here with my parents and husband for a Wisconsin Fish Fry on the Friday of the 4th of July weekend. We got to Elizabeth's around 6:45 or so, and i expected a long wait. Much to my surprise (and delight), we were seated within minutes. A waitress appeared shortly to take drink/food orders. We all knew we were having the fish fry dinner. My parents got the senior deal, which was the fish fry, but not unlimited. My husband and I got the all you can eat version, not that I needed it. After the generous portion of fish, fries, and corn on my plate which was preceded by a cup of soup of the day, I barely had any room left for the dessert that came with the meal! Service was great. We were checked on often, and the hostess even came by a few times to ask if we needed anything and to see if our order was taken. The wait staff is nothing is not extremely efficient. My only knock is that there was no malt vinegar to put on the fried fish. Isn't that a thing people do? Maybe it's just an Irish pub thing? Prices are extremely reasonable too. My parents frequent here often, and I'm glad they brought me along that night for dinner. read more

Cute little cafe in the Delavan downtown strip. Came here for brunch with my boyfriend today. Wonderful service and delicious food for a low price! I had the meat lover's skillet with added red and green peppers and a side of toast, and he had a gyro breakfast burrito with hash browns and bacon. We also tried their chicken noodle soup-amazing! Come here for a delicious meal. Going home with leftovers. read more

Stopped in based on all the yelp reviews.. We waited 10 min for a table..not bad at all during breakfast time on a Sunday morning... Food was fresh! Husband had some skillet with hash browns with diced green peppers and ham etc. Veggies were fresh! I had biscuits and gravy..the biscuits could have been done a bit more but gravy was delish! No complaints! Clean...staff were friendly..the hostess was doing a great job getting folks signed in and to their tables when they were ready! Will be back again! read more

Excellent service, polite and courteous staff, and the food is wonderful! I love the eggs benedict (original) personally, but have had many things off of the menu. Great for breakfast and lunch items. Only drawback, no waiting area, you feel a little awkward and tend to send an apologizing "sorry" look to the person's booth that you are hovering over at the entryway. All in all, it gives you that mom and pop kinda feel - warm and cozy :) read more

Lovely small town diner with a homey atmosphere. Hubby and I had soup and sandwiches with fries. The food was tasty and the prices were economical. The service was great. We've been to Delavan many times over the years but always stopped at McDonald's just off of the highway. We will make a point of going the extra mile to eat here again. read more

Very nice restaurant. They were busy but we got a table within 10 minutes of waiting. We figured the food was good because of how long the wait is and how packed it was and we were correct. I got the cream of broccoli soup and it was delightful. They have cool bread in a plastic bag. It was good, but not very environmentally friendly. Next to eat I had a deluxe hamburger so that i got french fries. It was quite delicious. Overall, my family and I will be coming back. read more

I freaking love this place. The food is great. The service is good. The prices are decent. I could eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner here everyday if I could afford it lol read more

Always delicious, even though it can get quite busy the wait is never long. Omelets are always fluffy and full of fresh ingredients!

I used to like this place much better but things have changed in the last year there- idk what happened but the food is now very greasy and fries taste awful. And there are more than 3 types of soup you know? Seems like they always have the same ones and they're mostly disappointing...sorry I don't normally give bad reviews but I miss the food as it used to be! read more

By recommendation of my fiancé, we went here for breakfast Sunday morning (weekends are the busiest). I was amazed at the quality and quantity of food you receive. The 3 egg "House Omelette"was fluffy and delicious. Served with crispy hash browns, and toast. It was busy, but our order only took about 10-15 minutes. Word is, they have a fantastic Friday fish fry, which we will definitely try. read more

A great little family restaurant! Good service, good food, and the location is in the historic downtown. So afterwards, you can explore some more local shops! read more

If you are looking for a great place for breakfast you want to go to Elizabeths. Great options for lunch and dinner as well.

My wife and I were in town for Phish. We liked this place so much we went two days in a row for breakfast. Super friendly staff and the breakfast staples were very tasty. This place is solid, go. read more

They offer the best and most affordable sit-down breakfast in the area. There's usually a line on Sunday mornings; however, the service is extremely fast and worth a little wait. My boys love it here! read more

We had read good things, and it was worth the 15 minute wait for breakfast! Great breakfast food in a bustling but cute atmosphere.

Our first time here and we were not disappointed! The omelette was fluffy and delicious! Hash browns tastes like they were cooked in butter. So good ! Great location , great service , great prices,great food . What more do you need ? We will definitely be back. read more

We go to Elizabeth's quite often. Everything has always been great, including the staff and cleanliness of the restaurant. The food comes out extremely quick and you never have to ask for coffee or soda refills because the staff is always on top of it. It's a small town café, and so nice to have in Delavan! read more

This diner is always one of my first choices when picking some where to eat. Their food is always good. This service is usually pretty good is well. I feel like breakfast is their specialty. read more

Food is always delicious! Best place for breakfast in town. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is super friendly... you might have to wait to be seated especially on Sunday mornings, it's worth the wait though that's for sure! I love their lunch combos, it comes with a cup of soup... I absolutely LOVE their cream of broccoli soup Which I believe is only available on Saturday's... it's a nice "homey" restaurant, we've been eating here for years... read more

I WOULD GIVE 6 STARS IF I COULD!!! We love ELIZABETHS! They are the poster child for the All American Diner. If you get tired of the same plain chain restaurants which we do and want a delicious home cooked meal, that consistantly tastes out of this world every single time.... GO TO ELIZABETH'S..... We eat there about 3-4times per month. VERY VERY BIG FANS!!!! (Omlettes, patty melts, gyro, fish, everything is tasty!!) My wife loves the soups too! read more

the place was packed, with a line outside... but we only had to wait about 15 minutes, and it was well worth it!! There was a party of 9 waiting to be seated, which was a bit difficult b/c they had to put several small table together for them.. it's not a big place. I had the broasted chicken, and my hubby had the meatloaf. Excellent, and the price are even better.. Generous portions... cute small town diner.. read more

My wife got us a Groupon Lake Lawn Resort, and we had a great time, we ate there one night and went out one night, and we met a great guy from the area, Kent Miller, who told us to check out Elizabeths Cafe for breakfast, my only problem is that I didn't know about it sooner. The hostess and the staff treated us like we were locals, and Becky was a joy, and the food, I'm thinking of making the over 100 mile journey back just for the broasted chicken, because if it's anything like breakfast and the other postings here on Yelp, then I'm sure it will be worth the trip, either way we will be back in the spring read more

This is without a doubt the top five fried chicken (actually broasted chicken) restaurants in the continental u.s. I have been on a 30 year search for the best fried chicken and elizabeth's definitely is in the running for the best fried chicken. Also super friendly, helpful and cute staff (even the rockford transplant). Nobody knows for sure what the picture on the wall (with sailboats and mountains) is from but rumors have it being great lake, colorado. read more

This is exactly the kind of place you're looking for when you are away for the weekend! Huge plates at breakfast, good coffee, lots of options and done to perfection. Get here early! read more
