“ My wife and I have been going to Elly's for the past number of years and we would give it 6 stars if we could. Rarely can someone find excellent service along with very good (and consistently good) food at reasonable prices. The staff is exceptional from a friendly and efficiency standpoint. Pete, the manager and a member of the ownership family, is wonderfully personable and always greets us with welcoming warmth. I'm fairly boring in what I order (scrambled eggs, crispy hashbrowns, and pancakes) but I know that they will be done to perfection. We decided to go this morning knowing that on a Sunday at 11 it would be crowded. Indeed it was packed but we only waited 10 minutes for a table, our server arrived immediately, greeted us in a very friendly manner, took our order, and our food arrived about 5 minutes later. Astounding!!! If you want a great food experience, you won't beat Elly's in Mundelein. ”

“ Elly's is always warm and inviting. The staff is pleasant and quick but thorough. I have tried most everything on the menu and have had good experiences with all of the food and drink. I love having breakfast with the fresh squeezed orange juice, a dark roast with a shot of espresso! The eggs, omelettes or French Toast top it off perfectly. ”

“ Breakfast place that always has good size breakfasts for fair prices. Service attentive. Large menu selections for breakfast and lunch. ”

“ Excellent breakfast place Fast service, staff friendly very busy place shows the appreciation of those who come on a regular basis Recommend highly ”

“ Everything was great. My wife and I went for a late breakfast. Walking in we were greeted by a very nice host. We were seated immediately. The place itself is huge very roomie. Out server was great very tentative. The food was great. I will definitely come back. The place was very clean. They have some gluten free options. Prices weren't bad. ”

“ Look how cute these pancakes are ! The kids loves them. And as always the food was delicious!! ”

“ The breakfast was awesome! They had specials which included 2 eggs, bacon, 2 sausages and a brioche French toast for only $10! You can have your eggs cook any way you like, mine was over easy ! The French toast was very tasty, not soggy! The wait staff were very friendly too! ”

“ This is a good breakfast spot with a pretty loyal following. The portions are substantial in the price is fair. If you are in the area, this is solid options for breakfast. I don't know what type of ambience I would say it has but it's a pancake house. The service I have received has always been great. ”

“ Becky dragged me out here to try Ellys (under New Management now). WOW has this place really turned around! We were greeted by the Manager when we entered and Left the restaurant, and the kitchen service was SO Quick! even the server was surprised how fast we got our food! I got the berry marscapone French Toast and Becky ordered the Morning Sunrise Omlette. Becky was FLOORED by the explosions of flavor in her breakfast! She also got toast with homemade strawberry Jam and loved it! Nothing makes me happier than a Happy Becky. Now onto the french Toast. OH BOY do they need a sweet meter on the menu, like how those Indian restaurants have their little spicy meter peppers. Maybe a symbol of Honey or something. The whole toast/Marscapone/Berry/syrup combo was too sweet for me, but we'll made and delicious. I'm sure we'll come back someday... ”
