Fries are greatly salted but not oversalted. A lot of places undersalt their homecut  fries and are hard to eat.
Jodie C.

I had the Best lunch here, with my family, today! -Upon walk-in it feels like you're walking into a soda shop or candy store from long ago. The Hershey's ice cream counter plays into that a lot. - We came here to get a quick sandwich and fries for lunch but little did we know, the jewel we found! -My French Dip with home cut French fries was absolutely fantastic. The sandwich was huge and no skimping on meat or cheese, either! Au jus was magical. The home cut fries, which I normally don't care for, were probably some of the best French fries I've had! Seriously! -My daughter and daughter-in-law felt the same with thier lunch! My grandson was handed a colossal peanut butter and jelly sandwich! -The servers were very nice and the food was amazing. Not breaking my bank either. Nicely affordable for the large portions they were. -On the way out, I got Hershey's Classic Chocolate gluten free Ice cream in a take out bowl. It hit the spot. I was happy all day! I highly recommend Ellie's Place!

What a delightful find on Main Street in Warrenton! We were detouring through the area after a morning of apple picking and the photos on Yelp reminded me of sandwiches my mom would make growing up, so Ellie's was our lunch choice. There was plenty of side-street parking around 1pm on a Sunday afternoon. If I had more time, I'd have loved to walk up and down Main Street, browsing the boutiques and shops, but we only had time for lunch. Ellie's was not at all crowded - only 2 other tables seated when we arrived. It is definitely a unique set up. Upon entrance, you are greeted by the ice cream counter, which may prompt you to save some room for dessert! Behind this, there were 2 levels of small seating areas just in front of the small, open kitchen. We were greeted by a server immediately and sat just adjacent to the kitchen, which was enjoyable for our daughter. She loved watching the cook do his thing! She was having a rough time that afternoon, so he (I'm assuming an owner) came and sat next to us to take our order and joked around with her. She perked up and was excited that he could make a much-desired grilled ham and cheese. I ordered the Veggie Pita and hubby got the BBQ burger. He was so kind and continued to chat with us while he cooked. The warmth and friendliness make it easy to see why locals may enjoy a stop into Ellie's. When our orders arrived, the portions were HUGE! If I had more stomach space, I could have devoured every bit of my pita and all of the fries! I just love hand-cut fries with coarse salt and these were delicious. The pita was really good with super fresh veggies (some of the best tomatoes I've had!) and tasty hummus and avocado spread. Hubby and daughter devoured theirs as well. The ham was thick cut, breakfast-style ham and the burger was cooked well. It's definitely a hometown joint with friendly service. The staff all pitched in to help each other out - one of the young ladies serving went into the kitchen to hand-wash dishes during a lull. We left with full bellies and happy hearts!

Nice little joint for breakfast in Old Town Warrenton! Stopped in for breakfast on a weekday morning. Ordered a breakfast burrito and coffee. While I was waiting - as I looked around - I noted the inside is rather oddly configured - in that the farther one goes back in the building - it's like one is going down a series of steps. I asked the staff what was in this space prior to Elle's moving in - apparently it was some sort of antiques/furniture store. Burrito came out nice and hot. I asked for some hot sauce - I was presented with a bottle of Cholula hot sauce - better than Tabasco - but I'd prefer some spicier options heat-level wise! The Burrito was tasty and filling! I'll definitely be back to try out some of the other breakfast options! Paid with Apple Pay. #ElliesPlace

We had an amazing experience today at lunch!! Everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful. I have a gluten allergy and they were extremely accommodating! Both of our meals were extremely fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back!!

Ellie's mom was great (and this is coming from the mother of another Ellie). She was friendly, and her service (and this goes for all the employee's, including Ellie's dad) was very good. Two BLTs and one Cuban- delicious bacon and lots of good tomatoes. Sandwiches looked huge when they came out and each of us thought we may need to bring half home BUT the tasty, crunchy bread was surprising light. French fries are cut fresh every morning and you can tell. They deserve the Faquier County award they have received. Yum! And, the coleslaw was so good I got the secret ingredient from Ellie's mom (it is Ellie's mom's mom). You can eat inside and outside, table service in both. There were two tables "on the street", but we passed them up for the one closer to the door, a buffer from the Harley's driving by. Save room for a scoop of ice cream and a coffee. Coffee's fresh and Ellie's has LOTs of varieties of Hersheys.

Such a cute gem of a place with yummy food! We stopped in on a road trip and loved driving through the historic town. On a Saturday, it was fairly easy to find street parking. When you enter the cafe, there is an ice cream counter and you can walk further in to a small dining area. The staff is very friendly and we're always attentive to our needs. Our order even came out fairly quickly considering it was freshly made. (They weren't busy during 2:00 time period) My husband ordered the French dip. It came with fries and he said it was really good. I ordered the left coast and really enjoyed the toasted bread, avocado, red pepper aioli, and tons of fresh Turkey. It came with fries and I added Cole slaw too. The fries were good and reminded me of boardwalk fries. Our waitress gave me vinegar when I asked. The Cole slaw wasn't too wet and was good too. I will definitely return here if I'm in the area and would order some Hershey ice cream next time too.

A 4.5-star Yelp rating directed me to Ellie's Place in historic Warrenton. With an ice cream shop that sells Hershey's ice cream in the front, there's a restaurant in the back that sells sandwiches, burgers, and salads. The moment I walked in, the woman in the front greeted me with a kind of friendliness only found in small town America. Once seated, the chef came over to my table and insisted he makes my burger exactly the way I like it- well done. Upon learning it was my first time in, several loyal customers guided me through the menu. The entire experience felt like I was welcomed into a family dinner. I ordered the BBQ burger, which comes with jalapenos, cheese, and bacon on top of a bun. Somehow the chef kept the patty juicy while also cooking it well done. It was tasty as were the well-salted fries it comes with. If you want a truly local, friendly spot in Warrenton with good food, come to Ellie's Place.

I'd say their location is a bit tough since it's in the back corner of a shopping center away from the street, so it's not getting a view as you drive by. We hadn't seen many (any?) Mediterranean restaurants in the area and wanted to give it a go. We went very classic: I had the chicken shawarma and my wife had the gyro. Both came with fries and some pickled veggie on the side. We dined in and orders came out quickly. Flatbread was pretty well filled with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and onion, plus some kind of sauce. Same for the gyro except it had 3 long, flat pieces of gyro meat. Fries were fresh, hot, and crisp. The garlic sauce on the side was quite good... Not something I'd usually go for, but I used it and my wife used all of hers plus what I had left. The location was quiet, prices weren't bad. There's not an extensive menu, so I'd be interested in trying some more of the Mediterranean options. I saw they also have burgers, steak & cheese, etc., but that didn't appeal to me. I wouldn't say it's a go-out-of-the-way place, but considering I haven't seen anything comparable, I'd go back if I was craving some Mediterranean food.

Others in our group got shawarma sandwiches and spinach pies, and everyone was raving about their food. We wrapped up with a baklava sampler for dessert, which was the perfect ending. The food alone would've made the night, but our waiter really took it to another level. He was warm, personable, and clearly remembered my grandparents from past visits. He greeted them like old friends and was genuinely helpful throughout the meal, steering us toward dishes we'd love based on what we were in the mood for. That kind of attentive, personal service is hard to come by. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great Mediterranean/Middle Eastern meal with excellent service to match.
