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! read more

Delish sandwiches! Every couple of months we grab a sandwich here for lunch and they are always yummy. I honestly haven't been inside as my husband always does the pick-up so I can't speak to the service or atmosphere, but he can be grumpy and I've never heard a complaint. The order has always been correct and there's never been a delay. I wish they had later hours, at least late in the week like Thursday-Saturday. There's been occasions where we've wanted a simple quick dinner and they are closed already. read more

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! read more

Ellie’s Place - Veggie Pita - Sandwiches Near Me - Warrenton, Virginia

The food is excellent, the staff/owners are charming and helpful, and you will get your "steps" in at this restaurant. The building and the interior is in need of some serious maintenance. One even gets to meet Miss Ellie, when school is not in session. They do have the best French Fries I have had in a long time and you get a very generous portion! See you there. read more

The federal sandwich was delicious and loaded with meat. Seating is scarce so get in and get out! Great customer service and chill vibes.

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!! read more

Ellie’s Place - The Leftcoast - Sandwiches Near Me - Warrenton, Virginia

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 read more

Do I want to give this place 5+ stars? Yes! But the limited hours grate on my nerves. The fries are AMAZING but they may run out near closing time so get there on the earlier side to enjoy them. The place is nothing fancy, but the food is excellent. For dessert I highly recommend the Graham Central Station ice cream. If you like the taste of buttery graham crackers with bits of chocolate in it, you won't be disappointed. read more

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. read more

Stopped here on way to Shenandoah National Park. They start serving lunch as soon as they open. My wife enjoyed scrambled eggs and bacon. I had one of the best club sandwiches I've ever had (and I've had a LOT of them). The potatoes (cut into cubes for breakfast, mine were French fries) were fabulous. The service was excellent and the restaurant was very spacious. I'd definitely return. read more

Stopped in for breakfast before our weekend grocery shopping. It's a cute little place with seating inside and outside. We came in right when they opened so it was a little slow especially with just one waitress. More help arrived and once the initial rush was under control, the service was much better. We later found out that it was their first day open after being closed for a couple of days due to water issues. We had the breakfast platter and eggs and toast. The food was pretty good and the prices are very reasonable. Overall not a bad little place. Wouldn't mind going back to try some of their ice cream. read more

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. read more

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. read more

delicious food and good service. whether breakfast or lunch it's yummy! Have had their delicious fries, burgers, and sausage and gravy

Good was tasty, service was friendly and accommodating. Hometown feel in environment.

My family has visited Ellie's every weekend over the past 2 years and ordered pretty much everything off the menu at this point. After visiting 100+ times the food quality and has always been reliable and excellent. Ellie's is a local restaurant and the atmosphere is welcoming to any that stop by. The owners will be in most days and will greet you. I highly recommend visiting this gem in Warrenton! read more

Great place. We stopped for sandwiches and fries after a hike in the Shenandoahs. Highly recommend. Very fresh!

My first experience coming to Ellie's Place was excellent. The great service was immediately met at the front door and continued throughout. The Rueben was fire and I'm definitely going to be coming back. 5/5 and great job ya'll read more

Wonderful family sandwich shop - food is great and service is lovely. Highly recommend!

My second love (after pizza) is sandwiches & fries, but the food at Ellie's is in no way a second choice. I'd put a ring on it in a heartbeat. And though we didn't try the milkshakes, I'm sure they're bringing all the boys to the yard. Small but with plenty of room for our family of 5, the cute decor was fun without being distracting. The service was excellent - friendly, fast, and familiar. Sandwiches and burgers are the menu items, all accompanied by hand cut fries. The portions were large and all the usual accoutrements like ketchup were at our fingertips. There were salads on the menu, too, but we don't like vegetables. The open kitchen is a nice touch so the patrons can see their food is being prepared in a clean manner. The French Dip was delicious, with tender, flavorful beef. Unlike many gristly French Dips I've had elsewhere, this beef was mostly lean with just enough fat to make it juicy. The Federal was the best sandwich I've eaten in months, and that's high praise since I eat sandwiches every day. The meat is clearly high quality and fresh. And who doesn't love hand cut fries? These, however, were exceptional. Big Daddy almost always salts his fries, but he said the salt on these were adequate. Oddly, I always think fries are over salted in restaurants, but I too thought the salt to potato ratio was perfect. If we ever find ourselves in this cute little town again, we'll definitely stop at Ellie's again! read more

Great food, great people, and a great place! My wife got French toast and I ordered a Pimento with bacon burger/fries and both were awesome! The hand cut fries and thick hamburger were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the French toast was outstanding! We were so impressed with the food quality, I ordered a burger/fries and my wife got a BLT to go! Highly recommend!! Kyle T. read more

Ellie's parents are very nice people who are willing to go an extra mile to make your visit more enjoyable. I visited the place after a cold weather hike. Needed warm nourishment and I got it, with plenty of kindness. Food is excellent, just right amount of spices. It comes in amazing bread loaf that can be eaten by itself. I left satisfied and in better mood then I was when I arrived. The owners transformed me from a tired hiker to a gregarious visitor. I will make sure to visit it again at my next hike in Shenandoah Mountains. read more

WOW! What are the odds of finding a most excellent and exceptional Cuban sandwich in rural Virginia? In fact, it was so good that I can skip the fact that it wasn't Cuban bread ( the really nice cook brought it up)... but the super generous pork slices more than made up for it... it was very, very good and super friendly folks and a nice hometown feeling to it... my highest possible recommendation! read more

Ellie’s Place - Cuban sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Warrenton, Virginia

Stopped by for lunch with hubs and pup. I ordered the Cuban, comes with fries. The fry oil and potato quality were excellent but the fries themselves were a tad under. The cuban was good! Esp for not a cuban joint. Ample amounts of meat, it'd be a bit improved with thinner crisper bread and thinner pickles. Hubs got the federal (i think?) and really loved it. Check this place out! read more

First time at Ellie's place for a Sunday brunch. Interesting place combination ice cream, sandwich and lunch shop. Pleased to see they have a breakfast menu and serving brkfst after noon. The menu was fairly basic with all sides ordered as separate items. My cheese omelette was unremarkable but the everything bagel and generous portion of cream cheese helped add flavor. The wait staff was very kind and attentive. I even got to meet THE Ellie of Ellie's! The place was quiet and suitable for a nice quiet repast and conversation. Another quaint Main Street USA place with good food and great service. $16.74 for omelette, bagel and coffee. read more

Came here for a quick lunch based on other reviews. It did not disappoint. We ordered the turkey club on a baguette and the French dip. Both came with their delicious fresh cut fries. It was amazing! They were loaded with a good portion of meat and all toppings were fresh. It's a cute little place and the managers and/or owners were very welcoming. We look forward to going back and hoping to try the wide variety of ice cream they offer in the front of the store. read more

Friendly service. Good sandwiches. Nice to sit outside & people watch on a beautiful day.

Such nice people, quality food, and such a cute ambiance. Great spot to stop at for a yummy lunch and good conversation.

Great place for lunch. The owner was very kind and attentive. She helped us configure a table to accommodate one of our elderly guests. The menu offers a variety of dishes to satisfy everyone. They even have cute dishes for the kids. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. I believe they serve breakfast and have an ice cream counter as well. The atmosphere is very comfortable and inviting. It's apparent this place is a favorite of the locals as several people came in that were on first name basis with owners. So nice to see that connection these days. We plan to go again and if you haven't visited this place you need to. read more

We have tried most of the places on Main St so we thought we would try Ellie's Place to round out our sampling. I had the French Dip and my wife had the BLT. They both came with fries that were pretty good! There is not a lot of inside seating but we did get a table pretty quickly around noon on a Saturday. We would definitely go back! read more

Was in the area for work. In the mood for a burger. Ordered the pimento bacon cheeseburger. It was more expensive than the price I saw online. Also there were additional local taxes, so be aware. However, the burger made me forget all of that, because it was amazing! I'm still thinking about it, and had to go write this review. read more

Definitely eat here! Freshly prepared food with a smile. Quality ingredients. Have ice cream first!

My girlfriend and I found Ellie's Place tucked under Wells Fargo on Warrenton's historic Main Street and we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly service and excellent food at what is sure to become an old town staple. I ordered the Rachel, Ellie's take on the turkey Reuben sandwich. The sour dough bread was light with a satisfying crunch that complemented the melt-in-your-mouth, house-made turkey. The slaw, creamy thousand islands dressing, and thin cut swiss cheese didn't overpower the turkey and left the sandwich tasting light and satisfying. I have to also note the side pickle was possibly the best I've had in years. We wrapped up the meal with a home made chocolate chip cookie, equal parts chocolate chunk and dough. It didn't disappoint. read more
