Beef & Mushroom Panini (~$10): with chips and herb dip.
Aya E.

Ordered: Beef & Mushroom Panini (~$10): with chips & salsa but subbed herb dip for salsa. Large Fresh Lemonade with Mango (~$4) Coffee Banana Foster (~$6): coffee, yogurt, cream, cinnamon, sugar, and banana blended (no whipped cream added) Aya's take: Stumbled across this spot before a long drive back and it was a great decision! The Panini did the job of keeping me full for the drive but it wasn't anything extraordinary. I did enjoy the herb dip with the chips on the side. The Mango Lemonade was absolutely refreshing and not overly sweet. I'm a sucker for anything banana-flavored so the Coffee Banana Foster not only gave me that caffeine kick but was a nice sweet treat. Great customer service also!

Banana crunch bagel with vanilla latte... breakfast of champions!
Theresa R.

Great spot for breakfast (served all day) and lunch. I went with a peanut butter crunch bagel: plain bagel toasted with melted creamy peanut butter, bananas, and granola drizzled with honey. It was unique and delicious. Had it with a vanilla latte... both for under $8. Plenty of seating and free wifi. Street parking with meters.

Yogurt parfait!

Super little find in downtown Elmira! The iced tea - available in several flavors - was delicious and served in frosted mugs! The blueberry iced tea was yum! With frozen blueberries floating in your mug.... Although a bit too sweet for this unsweetened ice tea drinker. I'm guessing you could ask them to do it "light". The yogurt parfait was the best I have ever had! Slightly sweet yogurt with layers of granola, fresh strawberries and raspberries- it hit the spot on many levels. We will definitely return for breakfast and lunch as we will be in Elmira again. They also had a board full of yummy sounding smoothies!

This is a cute pub in Elmira Heights, right near Anchor glass. It has a selection of about 8 beers…read moreon tap, including Yuengling. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are dinner specials every day. Great hot dogs, and lots of pickle (get it, Pic for pickle) containing items. They have a pickle section on the menu. I liked their deviled eggs! My husband had a chili dog. The chili sauce is all seasoned meat, not runny at all. It was very tasty. Hot dog was cooked so it was a little brown--perfect in his opinion. I had the fish dinner with a broiled or baked haddock (excellently cooked with Cajun seasoning), coleslaw and Mac & Cheese. The Mac & Cheese was amongst the best I've ever had. Atmosphere in the main area of the pub was nice, dark. There's a lower level that sort of wraps around the main part of the pub (that's a little different) and it has dart boards for those who play darts. Service was excellent. I think there was only 2 waitresses on the night we went. Quiara(pronounced key-R-ra) was excellent and kitchen was prompt. Ok, not as prompt as a place that feeds kids, but pretty darn close!

My wife and I moved to the area in mid-2022. Prior to this, we lived in NYC (specifically in…read moreHarlem) for 14 years. The biggest thing we miss about our last home is the food - there's just not a lot of good restaurants around here (I don't necessarily even mean fancy - just good). We have a short list of a few spots we frequent that are decent enough - we rarely deviate from these because, often enough, when we do, we're disappointed by whatever new place we try. Last night we wanted to go out to eat, but thought we would try somewhere new. We found MarShell's on Google Maps and it looked great so we decided to roll the dice. Boy, are we glad we did. Firstly, the restaurant itself is a lovely space. It's relatively modern, well-kept and well-designed, but still comfortable and casual. Tashell was great - we had a wonderful time speaking with her and she took great care of us. She said that the restaurant opened 2.5 years ago, right around the time we moved to the area - we only wish we came sooner. The food is spectacular. Soul food is a "humble" style of cuisine, but their take on it is just the right degree of refined. I don't mean it's fussy in any way - I mean they really know how to cook and this shows in every dish through flavor and texture. Things like collard greens or sweet potatoes, which are often overcooked to oblivion, are just the right consistency, and exploding with flavor. Sauces are rich and velvety, not overly thick or gloppy. Even seemingly simple things like chicken wings or fried green tomatoes are perfectly fried so the inside is moist and juicy, with a light, shatteringly crisp exterior - something many other restaurants don't care to pay attention to. TLDR - this is a great restaurant serving uniquely delicious, rock-solid soul food in a well-kept space that stands out like a diamond in the rough.
