Ellendale Grill

Food is reasonably priced and very fresh. Try the BLT wedge salad, it is a meal by itself. I liked the Tomato Basil Soup - very thick and rich though could have used a little less salt (most people would find the salt content ok).

Try the Fried Pickles up front very nice crust - they come with Ranch but you can request a Wasabi Option which is good if you like your eyeballs to roll to the back of your head.

Atmosphere is intimate - good place for a special occasion. Good service! The staff and owners are friendly and the reason for the fifth star.

We plan on returning soon.

What a wonderful time!!! This place has it all!! Small town charm, beautifully decorated and the most adorable server!
When we walked in, we were greeted like long lost friends and given a tour of this simply charming place. For lunch, I selected the shrimp and grits and it was quite amazing. Possibly the most delicious I have ever had!!
I will definitely come back!!!

Omg! This place is amazing!!!!!!!! My stepdad recommended this place and I'm so glad he did. We had Patti as our waiter (come to find out she is the manager) and she was just as good and attentive as the food. I had the Ellendale pasta with shrimp and chicken and my BF had the chicken cordon bleu with homemade potatoes and greens beans. Everything was delicious especially the potatoes (we wanted to take some home). It looks bigger than what it is and is nicely decorated. I can so see this place becoming one of my new favorite restaurants. The waitress gave me a menu for Sunday brunch to try next! I'm so there....

Love this place. Great place for date. Impressive service and the food was so good.

Owner said steaks pork chops salmon are all hand cut in house. thought that was good.

We found this gem of a place while on a mini vacation and on our way to Nashville! The food is yummy but most of all the staff is so nice and welcoming. Definitely felt the southern hospitality.
If you live in the area, come and eat here. If you aren't from the area, dr car down. So worth it!

The Ellendale Grille is an awesome restaurant in a nice quiet location. The staff is very nice and the atmosphere made you feel at home. I had the Shrimp and Grits and I can honestly say that it was one of the best that I have ever had. My family and I plan to go back one day for brunch, but the bottom line is that we will be going back. I highly recommend this place for any occasion!

I can't even leave a review of the food because the refused to serve me a simple burger. I sat down with a party of 30 with a pre-fix menu that had 3 options - pork, chicken and cream pasta. None of which I wanted.

So I ordered 2 burgers, an app, and meals for all 3 kids. They came back and told me no. I get it, pre-fix menu, busy night blah nkah, so I ordered the easiest damn things on the menu. A BURGER! A $10.5 BURGER AT THAT. I certainly don't mind paying $10.5 for a good burger but I expect to get it at a place that understands guest service. So they gave me crappy service and I am returning the favor with a crappy review!

We haven't been to Ellendale Grill for lunch or dinner, but brunch was pretty spectacular! My husband ordered the pancakes, which were huge and thick, unlike any pancakes I've seen before. I wouldn't say they were the BEST we've ever had, but they were hearty and definitely worth trying. My breakfast platter was awesome, though. Huge portions, delicious potatoes and eggs, and great biscuits. There were several other items on the brunch menu that looked intriguing as well, so hopefully we'll have a chance to go back.

As far as service, we had no problems. They were a little over an hour from closing that Sunday, and there wasn't another soul in the place. We had a sleeping baby in tow, so the waitress seated us in the back room, which was quiet, and she tiptoed and whispered throughout our visit, to avoid waking our son. She also apologized for having missed a call from my husband earlier in the day, when he'd called to check their hours. She recognized his name from the restaurant's caller ID as she was running his credit card. I thought it was very kind of her to mention it!

NOTE: The food persuaded me not to give this place one star. What a disappointment! I had high hopes for this spot and I have been wanting to go for a few months. I finally made it and I am not sure I want to give it a second chance.

We were greeted and seated, but after 5 minutes no one had brought water or taken our drink orders. We were on lunch and after wondering where the wait staff was aloud, the lady next to us said that she has been waiting for 15 minutes! About 45 seconds later the waitress came around the corner. We placed our order and she mixed the drinks up between the three of us (not such a big deal). We asked for a high chair, which never came, so I got up and searched for one myself. About 20 minutes later my friends side caesar salad came out, after another 10 minutes we just asked to get it boxed up because we were going to be late getting back to work. The experience was horrible and I would give this place one star, but the food was actually good once we finally got to taste it. The bad part is that we couldn't tell if it was the service that was bad or if the kitchen that was just extremely slow? We came to a consensus that they were both at fault.

There are more details that I will leave out that made this one of the worst restaurant experiences ever. The potatoes and the seafood poboy were pretty good. The remoulade was just spicy enough to give the fish and shrimp the proper kick. I expected fries, but came with home style fried potatoes that were good, but a bit greasy. Maybe it was just an off day because we would like to make this a routine lunch stop, but it is going to take some debating to get us back in the door.

We found this little gem here on yelp tonight and are really glad we decided to come in!

We were greeted warmly by Colleen at the hostess stand when we arrived and she seated us at a cozy booth in the back. The atmosphere is intimate and very pleasant. Candles throughout and a mix of current music on the sound system make for a lovely ambience. Our server Hannah was wonderful! She explained the menu, told us her favorites, and told us a bit about the restaurant.

We started with a glass of wine (there is a small but decent selection of wines and a full bar) and a little loaf of dinner bread.

Our meal was delicious! My ribeye was perfectly cooked and seasoned. My husband had the chicken cordon bleu which has a decidedly Italian flair and it is fantastic! Hand rolled, stuffed with spinach and mozzarella, wrapped with bacon and topped with a tomato basil sauce. Baked potato and Mac and cheese were good as well. With that being said, let me say that anyone who comes in MUST try the Brussels sprouts! They are divine and I'm certain I could have polished off a whole plate of them!

We are happy to be able to support local business right here in our neighborhood and will definitely be back. In my opinion they have the perfect mix of friendliness, good service, and delicious food. We can see being regulars here!
