She took our order quickly, but we waited quite some time to get our drinks and food. Our drinks came at the same time as the food, so we sat there for quite a while without even water at the table. I also found it odd that the water cups were styrofoam...just a bit inconsistent. Also not all the members of the group enjoyed their food. One of the plates was completely cold. Not sure I would go back.

We went on a Saturday for late breakfast and was trying to determine what we wanted from all the options. I ordered the corned beef hash (CBH) skillet and a side of pancakes. A country fried steak (CFS) was also ordered on the table, with a side of toast. The CBH was homemade, not from the can. You can see it and taste it. It was very delicious, well made, and wonderfully seasoned. The CFS was covered in sausage gravy, sitting on a bed of hashbrowns and eggs on top. I was told it was delicious. We ordered coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice to drink. The coffee was great. The orange juice had a taste that I wasn't accustomed to, which is odd because I love fresh squeezed juices. Service was attentative and our server was nice. Everyone ensured we were ok and our coffee mugs were full. Glad I went to Elly's. It's one of my favorite places to go.

Amazing Food, A1 Service & a Wonderful Birthday Celebration!…read more We had another amazing experience at Elly's Brunch & Cafe on Cumberland Ave. We were also there celebrating my wife Yesenia's birthday, and the staff helped make the occasion even more special. The food was absolutely amazing--fresh, delicious, and everything came out perfectly. The entire staff is always friendly, welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. I especially want to give a big shout-out to our waiter, Victor, for his outstanding service and for taking such great care of us. I also want to recognize Garcia and Sergio, the busboys, who are always hardworking, attentive, and make sure everything is taken care of. Every time we come here, Victor, Garcia, Sergio, and the entire staff make us feel like family. They always welcome us with a great attitude and provide A1 service from beginning to end. Thank you for helping make Yesenia's birthday celebration such a wonderful experience! Great food, great atmosphere, and an incredible staff. We will definitely continue coming back and highly recommend Elly's to anyone looking for a great breakfast or brunch experience!

Their playlist curates a cozy vibe, 90s disco with modern flair. The seating was very comfortable. If you're looking to do some work here, there's an outlet accessible booth on the left side.

I chose the turkey sandwich and it was kind of a let down. The best thing was the nice crunch from the toast it came on. There were maybe two slices of turkey on the sandwich. The rest was crisp lettuce and fresh tomato. The fries were great. The breakfast burrito was good but overly saucy it took away the flavor from the ingredients inside. The French toast was great if you have a sweet tooth but the bread was slightly smaller than I expected. The ambiance isn't anything extravagant but also homely in a way. It's a solid 4 and not a back to back ,but will consider going again in the future.

York Road can be VERY loud, but nothing they (151) can do about that. What put me off is I received a reminder of the res via text and was told to limit my stay to 90 minutes. I have traveled the world and eaten in restaurants high and low all over that world -- from fried cricket carts in Shanghai to multiple Michelin stars in Paris -- and this is the first time in my 58 years I was told to sit down, eat, now beat it!! I also grew up in the restaurant industry with our family business growing up, and worked through college in the industry. This is UNHEARD OF!! Yes, some guests overstay their reasonable expectation of a table's availability, but true professionals handle that situation in real time and with SKILL and GRACE. Not with some poorly composed text that essentially tells the person that once you've eaten, I'm not interested in conveying hospitality. All of this AFTER I had to put down a deposit for a table!! Who do these people think they are, Quince?! They sell salads and fried chicken sandwiches!! This was in very bad taste, 151. It smacked of entitlement to my patronage but no willingness to extend TRUE hospitality in exchange. I advise you to be careful as there is more and more competition in downtown Elmhurst, and that won't let up any time soon....and you've just lost another Elmhurst family.

I ordered the turkey burger at True Food Kitchen and when I tell you I heard the angels SINGING?! Baby, that first bite made me stop chewing just so I could properly process what was happening. The FLAVORS?! Whew! They were flavoring! I did a little dance in my seat. A tear almost formed in my eye. I looked at that burger like, "Now why would you come into my life and show out like this?!" Let me be clear: I don't normally get this emotionally attached to a turkey burger. Turkey burgers are usually just meat and bread however THIS ONE?! This was an EXPERIENCE. A testimony. A blessing between two buns. Seasoned perfectly. Juicy. Flavorful. Absolutely DELICIOUS. While typing this, i just learned that Adam made my burger today and he deserves a raise, a parking spot close to the door, and possibly his name on the building. 30 out of 10. I WILL be back and yes... I'm ordering the turkey burger again because I need to know if what happened between us today was REAL. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!!

The bread was warm, crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The dip was very much like baba ganoush. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including bowls, salads, sourdough pizzas, burger, sandwiches, steak, salmon, and poke bowl. Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl $18 - Great flavor and lots of fresh vegetables. The portion was big enough for me to have leftovers. All American Burger with fries $22 - Good burger, upgrading from side salad to fries cost $2.50 more.

They're fairly new so that comes with small hiccups. Nothing that ruins their reputation. I ordered the corn beef hash dish that comes with a side of sweet potato hash. I liked the dish quite a bit but I really wish they had given more corn beef and remove the cinnamon from the sweet potatoes. It was too much and the sweet potatoes could've been cooked longer. I enjoyed the dish and know I will return but those are things I would point out should someone choose said dish. I am anticipating them getting their liquor license to serve drinks that pair well with the dishes.

Did not enjoy. Food…read moreseems premade in bulk that morning as it is served out suspiciously quickly and the quality seems like it was sitting on a heater for a while. This would all be fine if they didn't charge prices comparable to most downtown brunch spots. The menu seems very limited and offers little to no substitutions even if you have dietary restrictions. If you order a platter that typically includes sausage but don't eat meat you cannot substitute and will still be charged full price even if you don't get the meat. The espresso/latte drinks are pretty bad and demonstrate little knowledge about espresso and basic café drinks. Though they are very well priced, the low quality makes it not worth it. The servers here all seemed great. Biggest L's are food/drink quality and the food price. Biggest W is location. The ambience and decor is not really my vibe - it gives a sort of middle aged interpretation of instagram brunch joints. Prices need to be lower or the quality needs to improved substantially (i.e. food should be made to order, seasoned, and well balanced for $16+ per plate.). Will probably not come back and would recommend. Very disappointing for a local community spot . Im rooting for the team here to improve and really show how great restaurants in our community can be!!

Deciding on a star rating for this one was tricky. The prices are kind of insane, so I was really…read moreleaning toward a 3. But, I'm a sucker for whimsy, so I decided to be generous. I met a friend here for brunch--I hadn't heard of the place but when we were looking for a halfway point, she discovered this restaurant. I'm glad that I took my preschooler with me because there were so many fun bits. The place is elegant, but playful and full of whimsy. It feels like a place made for a princess. The food was good, but overpriced, so you're paying for that fanciful meal. They only had one item in the kid's section, and it was more expensive than items for adults often are--$19 for a kid's item. Truly wild. Since it was questionable if my daughter would eat the ham or eggs, I opted to get the breakfast board for the table since it had waffles, pancakes, and fruit. She was ecstatic when she saw it, and I was charmed by the presentation--it's October, so they had decorated it in a Halloween theme. They also had a Halloween menu, and the witches brew looked good, but we all stuck to the standard menu for our meal. I ordered the enchiladas suizas and it was very good, but again, overpriced I think. Mocktails are almost always too high (why am I paying alcohol prices for drinks without alcohol?) but I got one for my daughter and I anyway. Again, this restaurant knocks it out of the park with regards to presentation. They had a lot of seating indoors, and there were tons of tables outside as well. I'm not sure if they were totally following the 90-minute rule today because even though it was a beautiful Sunday at the beginning of October, we were seated immediately and there were tables available both in and outdoors the entire time we were there. But anyway, be forewarned that they have a time limit for tables, so you don't want to spend forever making your decision. There's no dedicated parking lot for the restaurant, so you'll be looking at the surrounding streets or the couple lots that are nearby. No reservations accepted.

Absolutely nothing disappointed and everything our waitress Lauren recommended was spot on. She is a rockstar! For dessert we ordered two chocolate mousses, and Crème Brûlée to share. The perfect way to end our night.
