Had been here for breakfast. Ordered simple pancakes. They were good. The fresh squeezed OJ was one of the best ones that I had for a long time. The Tropicana guys should learn preparing OJ from these guys!
The food was nice, good on price.
Would definitely visit again to try out more!
Black cherry crepes were delish, great bacon. Hash browns just ok, little bland, I prefer crisper ones. Fast friendly service.
I get back to this part of country a few times a year and one of first stops is Elly's. Cheap, good eats for all. Wish we had one in Va. Bravo
Everything we ordered was good. The fresh made breads and biscuits just made everything so good. We had French Toast, biscuits and gravy and the classic eggs Benedict. The food came out very quickly and was made well. The eggs were poached perfectly.
The Restuarant is well kept, clean bathrooms. Ample parking lot available right on Rte 60. The staff was very welcoming, and checked on coffee fill ups often. They could have cleared tables more quickly but really the service was great.
Cant believe I havent left a review for this place before. Been eating here for the past 5 years! The food here is amazing and they have the best fluffy pancakes that other breakfast places cant seem to imitate. Omelette is huge and hashbrowns are crispy and perfect. NOT BURNT like Cafe Fourteen in Palatine.
Highly recommend!! This place is also newly renovated and looks much nicer than before.
Note that they now charge a 3% credit card fee.
I still think it is better than most places for breakfast but they definitely are not as good as they used to be. My wife had a spinach omelette and I had a corned beef sandwich. My sandwich was very dry and fry’s were cold. I will try it again soon and edit my review. Our waitress was the best
Elly's was a delightful brunch experience that I stumbled into by chance. It's an upbeat diner that's perfect for a morning nosh with friends or family.
I was desperate for a cup of coffee after dropping my car off at the shop, and Elly's was the closest spot. From the exterior, I honestly wasn't expecting much; the exterior sign has seen better days and the building is plain and gray. However, when you get inside, it feels like an entirely different restaurant. The interior has been recently renovated, with a vibrant southwestern style that compliments the menu perfectly.
There's standard diner fare (eggs, pancakes, waffles, and the like) to satisfy both your sweet and savory breakfast cravings. I ended up settling on the breakfast burrito, which was tasty. The coffee was only alright, but the servers were extremely attentive and service was speedy.
Wow! I just had one of the best breakfast dining experiences I have ever received! Kristina was my server and she did a great job at making me feel so welcome! Actually everyone did a fantastic job catering to me :) Im a first time visitor to Chicago and you guys def made my experience a memorable one! Great choice on renovating the restaurant! Love how open and bright it is.
Elly's was recently remodeled and looks very welcoming and bright now. The food was delicious and was brought out quickly perfectly cooked. The staff was well mannered and service was excellent. I would highly recommend this place as a regular breakfast place.
I absolutely will be back! Sunday brunch rush and the service was lightning fast and the food is just chef's kiss perfect. Highly recommended. The Spartan omelette is amazing! The hash browns are a perfect balance between crunchy and cooked just enough. And the pancakes are thick yet fluffy, so delicious.
Another thing I liked is this isn't one of those places that insists on staff covering up tattoos or piercings. People are allowed to do their job AND be who they are here. I applaud you Elly's of Mundelein.
Greeted nicely... sat us quickly.. nice waitress... the food came fast and HOT.. chicken and waffle was fire... clean area.. clean bathrooms... mens bathroom has baby station big plus..
This place is the best breakfast/lunch place in the area. They recently went thru some major changes in decor, menu, staff and more.
We have been going there for years. We were always loyal customers but with the new changes we love it that much more.
The staff is warm, efficient, down-to-Earth and professional. The owner (I think it’s the owner) is there every time and greets us warmly. We have been sat quickly.
The seating is comfortable. The food is delicious and they really care that it’s presented well. The food comes out amazingly quickly!
It’s a place that still believes in filling up your coffee when it’s half full. Water is filled swiftly when it runs low.
Check it out. No, I’m not getting paid for this.😂. But I do believe in supporting local hardworking small businesses!

Update!
Go in and see Pete! He's the copo, te amo familia 🫶
They've completely updated their digs! It is really an awesome place inside, and once again the bathrooms are spotless. The food was delicious, the wait staff was amazing! Our last visit today was worth every penny and more! I had the Steak and wild mushroom skillet, my wife had the loks platter. The coffee and their fresh juices are amazing. 6/30/2023🥇
We were out and about doing our doctor's visits for the day lol, and remembered Elly's, not to be confused with Emily's, from a few years back. We didn't even know if they were going to be open. They absolutely were open and the food was just as good as I remembered. I had four eggs over easy, chicken fried steak, hash browns with onions and cheese, wheat toast. My wife had the French toast, it was called The French connection. And, it was a huge production lol! Can't go wrong here. Special mention the coffee and the fresh squeezed orange juice! The wait staff was amazing also, everyone was extremely polite, respectful and engaging.🥰 6/29/2022
