Elly’s at the Meadowlands

I've been wanting to try the new Elly's since they opened up a few weeks ago in the place where Beechie's used to be, and we finally had the chance tonight. The parking lot was jam packed but we were seated right away, as the dining room was pretty empty. They had a special list which included crab cakes, lobster bisque, and 4 burgers, but they were out of crab cakes and bisque. We ordered the pretzels and fried provolone, and for entrees i got the fish sandwich and my brother got the elly's signature sandwich. Food took a little while considering how empty the dining room side was but the wait was no problem. The apps however came out with our food and not beforehand which isn't optimal. They also accidentally gave us an order of fried zucchini which we didn't order but weren't charged for so win for us! Out of the apps, the pretzels with beer cheese were by far my favorite but still nothing to write home about. The fish sandwich is definitely huge, but it comes on a burger bun. The bun was good- tasted like bread works maybe- but was too small for the sandwich; a hoagie bun would be much better in my opinion. The sandwich was ok, most of the breading flaked off but the fish itself was good and mild. The fresh cut fries were seasoned nicely but seemed a little undercooked. None of our food was hot- it wasn't cold, but it was slightly warmer than room temp and tasted like it had been sitting under a hot lamp. I had a bite of my brother's signature sandwich which had roast beef, egg, coleslaw, and fries which I liked but again it wasn't hot at all. Our server was very nice but service was a little slow- she may have been busy on the bar side. I was charged $1 for ranch I didn't get- and didn't end up needing since I didn't eat many fries- but I ended up asking for extra tartar so it balanced out. Prices are a little high- for two apps, two sandwiches, and a mixed drink our bill was $68 before tip. Apps were $11 each. I was not wow-ed by the food for the price. The whole experience was just pretty mediocre- not bad by any means but certainly not excellent either. There are a lot of TVs to watch sports which is nice and there seems to be plenty of seating. The bar was jumping when we left and they seem to have nice happy hour deals. I would for sure come back in the future for happy hour or once they expand their menu and get settled a little bit more- they haven't even been open a month yet. Overall I wish them luck & prosperity in this new location.

Formerly Beechies Place in the Meadowlands, Pa. New ownership, New place, great food!!! Newly opened, a good restaurant, bar, a new menu, they just added some burgers, and of course, that means I had to try one. We started off with loaded Fries, crunchy fries, cheese sauce, bacon, cheddar, Ranch dressing drizzled over top. Very good, hits the spot as a lover of French fries. I had the Bacon Bleu Burger. Fresh Brioche bun, bleu cheese sauce, medium cooked burger, double cheddar, caramelized onions, crunchy bacon. Everything worked great together, as per usual, I pour Ranch dressing over my burger, mixed with BBQ sauce, excellent burger. A side of crunchy fries made for a great meal. Family had the fish sandwich. This thing was huge, flaky, white fish, fresh, american cheese, tartar sauce. I will be back to try something else.

I heard good things about their Wings so I came to taste for myself. I did standard "hot" wings. The wings I had will stand up to any wings in the area. I will eat them again. I had a side salad with Creamy blue cheese; the salad was fresh with a nice mix of extras. The service was outstanding and food came in a timely fashion. The dining room was simple but very clean. I suspect this will become a regular place for me... I just saw some awesome sandwiches delivered to the next table!

Stopped here last night with a table of 9. The waitress was very efficient taking orders from everybody quickly. Big glasses of draft beer were only $5 which is par for the area. My issue was the price. I don't think $17.95 for a fish sandwich is justifiable. And to top it off there was a mandatory 20% gratuity added.

Friendly staff. Great food. The burgers are huge. The bar is in a separate area so the noise is down to a minimum.

Great place for drinks, appetizers and a meal. We started with the garlic parm fried pierogies and soooo good! The pepperoni meatball sandwich was different choice and glad I tried so much flavor and served on garlic bread. Also had the Cuban which my fiance was skeptical but so pleased once he tasted it. Definitely be back to try more.

We tried Elly's again and figured they have improved from when they first opened. They have improved, but things still weren't like the old Beechie's as most remember. Our server was polite, but the advertising for $2.50 domestic beers should have included Michelob Ultra or we should have been informed because when we got our bill, the IC Lights were priced right, but the Ultras were not! When questioning our bill, a manager came over and said the sign should have read "select domestics". Ok, but it doesn't so we might have ordered something else if we known. Thought maybe an adjustment to our bill would be made, but nope! The sign still read the same as we left, $2.50 Domestics, I just hope others don't get taken like we did. Doubt we will give them another chance!

Plain looking restaurant inside but the food was excellent and a good price.I got a bacon chicken wrap.It was loaded with chicken and melted cheese.It was not dry Liike a lot of wraps are.My daughter got soup and salad and said both were really good.Waiter was very nice and he was there alone.It took time to get our food but he was very attentive.I would go back.They had many big screen tv's for sports watching.

Ordered the tacos with lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. There was not any seasoning on the beef, 3 out of the 4 tacos did not have any lettuce or tomato, and the sour cream was forgotten. The chips were burnt and smelled of old oil. After having a great hoagie at the Carnegie location, this was a huge disappointment.

Not bad if you don't mind eating besides a pool table and a dart throwing game. Italian hoagie and Reuben weren't bad but the fries were way overdone. They gave up customer seating for a pool table. I actually wish I'd just driven by...
