    In town, HAD to stop in for breakfast. Great as always, see you next time I'm in town!

    Cheeseburger

    Wow this place is delicious! Dunno if it's cause it's St. Patty Day weekend or what but it was an hour wait so we sat at the bar which was no wait. I ordered a burger and a sunrise mimosa and my husband got the California hash! Such good food! We think this is one of the best diners we been to on this side of town. It's a pretty small spot. Food tastes great and my burger was on point! They even have a bake potato soup that is so delish! Service was great and we left stuffed! Will definitely return! Loved it!

    Classic breakfast with ham & rye toast - good

    One of the best breakfast spots we've ever been to. Quality food, great service, local place - always busy but has the ability to reserve your spot online. Portions are pretty big and if you order anything other than a standard breakfast (2 eggs, potatoes, meat & toast) you will likely have leftovers. The omelets are pretty big. And the cinnamon roll is ginormous and delicious! I've had some of their lunch items as well which were also good. Great spot!

    I am maintaining my 5 star rating. Great food! Friendly service! Family oriented! It never disappoints! First time having a burger here. I had the Rodeo Burger. It was very good because it had a perfect ratio of all the ingredients that came together. I would order it again. The Stilly Diner doesn't compare to the others. They maintain their excellence with top notch food and a cup of coffee that's always topped off. It's no wonder they're always busy.

    Cute little place! Loved the hash brown plate, added sausage. Servings are huge! Great price since it ends up being 2 meals worth!

    Great place. The Stilly Diner is a boilerplate on how restaurants should be run. The staff is very kind and efficient to the MAX!! Always very clean. The food is delicious and arrives in a timely manner...which is pretty impressive considering the size of the portions. The bill always arrives on time and is very reasonable. Highly recommended!!

    Visiting from California and we were in the area and hungry. Quickly found this place on Yelp and trusted my fellow Yelpers reviews. There was a wait on a random Thursday morning but that just meant it's going to be good. 10minute wait, lots of good stuff on menu but we opted for breakfast. Portions were large and everything was delicious. Service was great as well!

    Tuna melt. Potato bacon soup was horrendous
    Marty M.

    Great food & service. "THE PILE" was delicious. Too big to even get through 1/4, though. Friend loved his tuna melt. Although he asked for them to add hot sauce to it and they forgot. Friend was not a fan of the Louisiana Hot Links. - it was more so just a red rubbery hot dog..not what he was expecting. His potato bacon soup was brutal. It was thicker than their gravy.

    The food tasted amazing, and the service was beyond great! Even for being busy, they were walking by every 5 minutes and making sure we got plenty of refills! It was a retro style, mom and pop cafe, with a cozy ambiance to the place. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a great new breakfast spot. I can't wait to become a regular here :) :)

    This place is conveniently located along the Centennial Trail at the south end of downtown…read moreArlington. It is a great lunch spot for those who are biking (or in our case, e-biking) along the trail. We all had burgers of one form or another - we ordered at the counter and then waited outside at a shaded picnic table. The burgers were large, delicious, and a bit messy. Fries were great, with very generous portions. I'm sure there are other great places to eat in Arlington, but we've done the bike stop here twice and we'll certainly continue to do so.

    Such a cool and promising restaurant to walk into. The decor is fun and inviting and the line was…read moreso long. My party and I stayed for about an hour and half and the line never went away. It was so crowded! The service itself wasn't great which is saying something given there are no servers. You wait in line and order at the front, then you find a table (if you're lucky) and they bring the food out to you. Last Saturday, our cashier was a young blonde female and she genuinely seemed miserable. An incredibly unwelcoming presence and that followed with similar service by the rest of the staff. It was odd given the very minimal interactions most people probably have with the staff to begin with. The food is good. If you want a burger and fries and some huge onion rings, this is your place. It's not an out of this world burger and definitely not a place I'd recommend because of the food itself but the atmosphere. It's really what makes this restaurant so fun. It wasn't the food and definitely not the customer service for me. It was the atmosphere. Therefore, I probably won't go back. Food service is one of the hardest jobs in my opinion and I don't want to ever take my family and friend back to a place where I felt like an inconvenience just ordering my food. Disappointing and at the same time, check it out. Maybe it'll be different when you go. I'm hoping so!

Even the young man who kept our water and bread baskets filled and boxed our leftovers, did an exceptional job. Reservations are highly recommended. You will need to leave that on a voicemail so try to plan ahead in case they're booked up. They have two dining rooms side-by-side. It gets busy and is currently open Thursday through Saturday for dinner. It gets loud as people are dining and enjoying themselves. The ambience is always delightful and fun. You can really tell the amount of pride and skill that goes into their service and meals. Tips: order all of your food upfront so that if your favorites are popular that night, they don't run out before you order. Popular items are Chilean Sea Bass and fresh-made desserts like the dreamy, white cake, just to name a couple.

So it's great to see planes take off and land. It's loud when it's busy but quiet early in the mornings. Some wait times can be up to a hour so suggest to get there early!

I've been in a serious breakfast place slump for a while now--most places around Marysville has either sub-par food, sub-par service, or sky high prices. Ellie's at the Airport is the complete package AND comes with a great view of the airfield where you can watch the aircraft come and go, something my kids LOVED. I ordered the B-52 and when the food arrived in a perfectly reasonable amount of time, I was literally doing a happy dance in my seat. Every element on the plate was perfectly prepared down to the sourdough toast which was impressively thick. They even had all 4 types of Smuckers jam packets on the table--I don't think I've seen orange marmalade in a restaurant in about 15 years. The service was fast and friendly, they use the twistable crayons my ham-fisted kids can't break. The pancakes were the size of dinner plates. For once, I had a $20 breakfast that felt like it was worth the price rather than the consequence of inflation. I can't say enough great things about Ellie's. I definitely found our new favorite breakfast spot. Slump is officially over.
