The food is sooo good! We had a larger party on a Sunday around noon and we didn't have to wait long at all. The service was great and the decor makes it such a cute brunch spot! We'll absolutely be returning.

Went to the Ellen's located at their second location and found that the service there is the same as the original spot in the historical spot. Food was good, although I should've went with the hotcakes instead of the biscuit, but that was my bad and not on them. Ellen's is Ellen's it's a nice spot, the customers are diverse from all walks of life.

For appetizers, we tried the Rack Balls. Crab and Cheese ones were our favorites! We ordered the Pancake Pot Pie, 100/10 recommend! The flavor and the stack were impeccable. Definitely a hidden gem if you're hungry!

OMG this food was so good! A friend suggested while we visited Dallas. No wait to be seated on a midweek late morning. Service was ok. Portions were huge. The pancakes fell a little short for me, but they were fluffy and the syrup was good. Everything else -- delicious. Definitely a hip, diner feel.

We arrived for brunch shortly after 11:00 a.m. and there was only about a 5-minute wait and we were quickly seated in a cozy booth. The dining room was bright with tons of natural light pouring in from the windows, I loved the color scheme of the restaurant and the beautiful tiles on the floor. The waitress quickly took our drink orders and the coffee came out piping hot, so perfect for this cold December morning. I ordered the Chilaquiles Verdes, which were one of today's specials and had my eggs prepared over medium and it came topped with skirt steak, Mexican crema and queso fresco and served with a side of refried beans. The beans were deliciously seasoned and the perfect consistency, not too thin and not too thick and also not completely pureed so they had a nice texture to them as well. The skirt steak was just a little tough and could have been marinated in onions to help tenderize it a bit and would have also lended it more flavor. So chilaquiles were perfection, the chips were thick and cut into bite-sized pieces and the salsa verde had the perfect balance of savor and acidity that brought a bright punch to the dish. Paired with the mellowness of the Mexican crema and the queso fresco, each bite was better than the last. Founded in Sandy Hook, CT, Ellen's also contributes a portion of their profits to support the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting and I think that is a beautiful mission that I'm going to continue to support. I can't wait until my next visit!

Oh my gosh people, is my world turning? This place never changes, simply the best, the menu is fantastic, try the French Toast and I still swear they squeeze their own orange juice. Such goodness, freshness and with that comes Happinespiness. I've eaten just about the whole menu and I was never disappointed. Always left satisfied, Try the Hevoes Rancheros/ ranch eggs. I find that my favorite. Come by, try this..you just might think your in a different world. Really. Friendly Fast service with a sunshine smile...Nice, relaxing, you might not want to leave.
