Cuban & fries.  $14

- super quick service and a good price point. We came in for lunch on a Sunday and were promptly seated. Have heard about the Cuban on various forums for years, and finally made the point to try it in person. Not disappointed. Fries are awesome too. Will definitely be back.

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

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.

INTEGRITY ....not my normal review opener, but Drew & Julie of Cast Iron went above & beyond…read more After a wonderful burger ( flavor with amazing "depth" I had to pay & rush out to take my Bride to a Swing Dance lesson with Gotaswing in Warrenton, VA. Silly me... I forgot my credit card on the table. After an evening of dancing I went to pull out my credit card for a gas purchase and found my error. Upon arrival at the Cast Iron, Drew called me by name & pulled my credit card from the cash drawer. Was I ever relieved. Integrity... a character trait that will ensure my loyalty. Not to mention an inviting atmosphere, great service & food with a depth of flavor. Thanks Cast Iron

This was by far one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. We decided to get a table…read moreoutside as it was a nice evening and we had our dog with us. Our waitress seemed friendly enough as she engaged in conversation with us about our dog and asked if she could have a milk bone and we said . She went and got water for us, which came in a nice bottle, but was then served with two nasty plastic cups that had spots all over them and chips around the rim. It took a while for her to come back around to take our drink order but when she did, we ordered specialty drinks, my husband got the Southern Jam which, after one step I could tell by the look on his face, he was disgusted by it and I got the mocktail Farmer Tan which was spicy and hard on my throat, I guess it was the chipotle. We weren't super hungry so we only ordered appetizers. We got the melting pot fries and the hot shrimp and crab dip. I guess they're trying to be unique by using Chick-fil-A fries because that's exactly what they tasted like and you could barely taste the truffle or the Parmesan. The shrimp and crab dip came out and was a bright orange. It almost looked like it was supposed to be a buffalo dip. We've never seen any type of crab dip like this before. It had absolutely no flavor. We couldn't taste any crab it's only big chunks of shrimp, but again after three servings of it, there was no flavor and it was impossible to wash any of this food down with the nasty drinks. There were three other tables filled while we were outside, and the sun was beaming down. One of the customers got up and tried to turn the fan on with no luck. It didn't work and it seemed like the waitress had disappeared. We didn't see her in a while. I'm finally I had to go to the bar and ask for the check myself once she came out with it. My husband gave her his card and when she came back, we discovered that we had been rung up with someone else's bill, which was $30 more than ours. I then went up to the window again, and the bartender was ringing up somebody else so he couldn't help me and told me that the waitress would fix it. She then came out with the correct receipt, but we still had no evidence of the the wrong charge on our card which my husband checked his account and had already been charged for. So I went back up to the window again and asked for a receipt showing that the credit was made or avoid or something, and the waitress was getting flustered because she didn't know how to do that and had to call someone else over to help her. They said they've avoided the transaction, but couldn't print anything out showing it just said the charge has been made so now we have to monitor our account to make sure that this was indeed credited to us. After having a horrible food experience, and then being charged for the wrong bill, we will never be back here again. Oh and we never got the milk bone for a dog either. UPDATE: I see the owner has responded and I do understand how a bank works because I used to actually work for one. # 1) I have not been calling you. #2) The majority of the review was about the food, drinks and service. Get your facts straight before you do a public unprofessional response. All the more reason to not recommend this business to anyone. The right thing to do would have just been to apologize for the bad experience like any professional business owner which you're clearly not.

I'm also a big fan of prosciutto and arugula pizzas, and Licorice Pizza's version is my favorite. Somehow all the ingredients are arranged thoughtfully so the whole pizza can be eaten bite by bite, rather than getting large pieces of prosciutto or arugula that slide off. A drizzle of oil makes all the flavors shine. We were taken care of by Cheyenne, who did her best by us despite it clearly being a busy night. I appreciated her checking on the pizzas for us unasked when they took a little longer to arrive. She also had a great sense of humor that delighted our whole table. Despite the record-themed decor, something about the ambiance does seem lacking, although maybe I'm just remembering the way the Black Bear looked when I visited in the past. That's worth overlooking for such delicious pizzas. The daily specials and happy hour deals are worth looking into when planning a visit, too. Last thing I want to mention, I came here with my parents, who tend to get cagey at "hip" places, especially at bar areas that can get a little loud. They were totally on board with everything, and as locals I expect to hear them come back soon for more pizza.

The menu offers a wide variety of options, making it easy for everyone in our group to find something they enjoyed. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed night out.

Some table favorites were the pork belly and ahi tuna appetizers, the braised beef short rib farfalle and the bacon wrapped meatloaf (with local Whiffletree Farm meat). We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Denim & Pearls to anyone looking for a great meal and outstanding service in Warrenton!

Had potential but major misses in both food and service…read more Food: my pork belly app was over cooked and rubbery. I had the flank steak and ordered it med rare and it was med to med well. Flavors/seasoning were good but major execution errors. Service: don't let them seat you upstairs. They understaff that. It took almost 10 mins to get water and drinks. We observed similar issues with other tables. My wife ordered a second glass of wine that never came. I ordered the spinach side with my steak and that never came either. Fortunately, they did not charge us for these items. At this price point these are not acceptable outcomes. Will not be back here.
