Ellie's Breakfast & Lunch

Ellie's Breakfast is situated off of Racetrack Road and one the few food joints you'll spot for a couple miles. They have a diner aesthetic which includes booths, tables, and a breakfast bar.I opted for the breakfast bar thinking it'd be easier to checkout if the server was directly in front of me. The menu they offer is quite sizable and the prices are on the lower end which are perks for a lot of people. The restaurant had maybe 3 other groups of people and was nowhere near capacity. Ellie's was supposed to be a quick stop for me on the way out of town due to the Hurricane. The food was alright, definitely edible but lacking depth. Great for a quick meal, but it's nothing to write home about.My bill came to about $14.When I ate enough of my food, I took my card out and requested my bill. My server left again for 10 minutes or so even though I placed my card down immediately after she placed the bill, as an indication that I would like to leave. Their service is not for the weak of heart. This restaurant unfortunately was participating in tip gouging and had the options for tip set at $5, $10, and $15 during Hurricane Milton. I was so disappointed in the behavior but ultimately ended up selecting "custom tip " and doing 10% tip on my little $14 bill.

This place has really good down to earth food. Whether it be a breakfast item or lunch. My friend had an omelette which he said was amazing, size and taste. I had the Philly cheesesteak, may be one of the best cheesesteaks I've had outside of Philly.Tammy, our server was friendly, outgoing, and helpful. Definitely a place to stop by for a quick breakfast or lunch.

We come here weekly on Sundays it today we decided to come on a Wednesday for lunch. Let's just say we won't be doing that again. The server completely passed us many times as we waited for 10 min. Then proceeded to take another party instead of us. I am very upset with the service. The lady with glasses(Ms Brenda )and refuse hair didn't even look at us. Skipped my son and I . I have been a very generous tipper over the last 5 years but today I am upset. As a matter a fact I am so upset now I don't even want to eat my plate. It's the principle. The lady is a bad server anyways so it is probably good she isn't taking care of us .Jamie is now taking care of us , took our order the food is rated as ok. It's the principle the restaurant is empty shouldn't be that difficult . Apparently we just realized she was catering to a customer whom has t be here in a long time. Again we were weekly customers now we won't be. Also roach by our feFood was delivered, looks good. Giving a 1 based on principle

I forgot to take a photo of my egg salad sandwich and I'm so sad because it was SOOOO good!! I will definitely be back for lunch, I had only been here for breakfast before. The egg salad was chopped up perfectly chunky and I got it on a croissant which was a 10/10 choice. It was one of the best egg salad sandwiches I've had in awhile!!

Food was very good. Service was great. Family friend place and relaxed diner feel. I would come back next time I am in the area.

It is located in a business park so you may miss it. Don't let the location fool you, the food is good here. If you come around lunch definitely get the Philly sub, you won't be disappointed. Full of meat and seasoned to perfection. Ask for your fries to be a little extra crispy because.... well just because I think they are better that way. Who wants limp fries? Service is spot on for a diner kind of food joint. I have yet to have anything bad here so that is why I give it 5 stars.

We tried Ellie's because it was halfway between our house and a friends that we are meeting for breakfast. It's located in an industrial-ish strip mall with plenty of parking. When we arrived, we didn't have to wait and we're seated at a four top immediately. I ordered the special which was a ham and mushroom omelette with cheddar cheese and opted for the house potatoes with it. The boys both had the hash skillet.The food was brought out pretty quickly, but mine was very overdone, but the hash skillets looked good and were devoured.This is definitely a no frills, breakfast spot, no Memosa and no bloody Mary... But if you're looking for a quick and inexpensive breakfast spot away from the tourists it's not too bad.

We don't live in the Tampa area but Ellie's was near where we were and looked like a good place for a quick lunch. We were right! It's not fancy inside but bright and cheery and welcoming for families. The menu is a cross between a New York Deli and a 1950's roadside diner. There will be something for everyone. We split the patty melt. This was an exceptional specimen. The hamburger patty was thick and juicy with good flavor. There were plenty of nicely caramelized onions and a tasty sauce. We had ours with French fries. They were crispy and nicely cooked but not greasy and no weird seasoning. Curiously, they were an extra-cost upgrade from potato salad. Never mind. The prices are very reasonable.We plan to come back next time we are in the area. Fair warning. If I like a restaurant I almost always give it five stars. You won't be disappointed.Oh, our waitress was great and the service was perfect!

The food is OK. Very busy at 11:30 AMMon weekday. The waitstaff is personable and helpful. Lots of good breakfast options.

I've been going here since moved in 2023 for Scrapple (east coast sausage)! I was there yesterday around lunch, decided to break tradition and try the infamous steak, onion, pepper and mushrooms sandwich. It was more than delicious, the bread is intricate to a great sandwich. All true, best sandwich I've had in a very long time. Thanks Donna
