Like you might not be the Captain Cook type, but if you take a little detour, you'll discover something great (but maybe not Antarctica great). I had the Vlore Skillet - hash browns, bacon, sausage, gravy, cheese and scrambled eggs - frickin' so good. Wife had the veggie skillet - she loved the black olives in every bite. Look, I know, it's a bit off the road, but I'm telling you it's worth it. Service was great. Place was clean and neat. Danville is tough, maybe a little sketch, but you have to stick with it to get here. You won't regret it. Have an adventure. You won't be the first to cross its path, but you'll be glad you did. read more

Ela's Eatery - Vlore hash stack with cinnamon toast - American Near Me - Danville, Illinois

My partner and I eat here often. The food is fresh, always served hot, by very attentive servers. Once they learn your names you're greeted as you enter. Paying attention to small details like this - so often absent in today's culture- remind you why you choose to patronize one venue over another! Very highly recommended. read more

Food is great. Have never had a bad meal. Service is home town friendly. Every customer should feel like family by the time they leave. Ambience is "Meh" it was built as a Wendy's so not much you can do there. Breakfast is their specialty but lunch is very good as well. They even do dinner on Friday and Saturday night. read more

Good food and good prices. Very busy but good service. We had breakfast and took dessert home for later.

Got steak and eggs, steak was well done and delicious. Not to mention still hot for such a reasonable price! Will be coming back

Da-damn! So good! It's 20° outside and I was looking for something filling and warm...I found it. I couldn't finish my haystack skillet but it had everything I ever wanted. Great service too with a smile. read more

Ela's Eatery - The Haystack skillet with added bacon n sausage. - American Near Me - Danville, Illinois

Very good service. The food was tasty. Reasonable prices. I would eat here again if I was in that part of Danville

Food is ok. But it's like being at someone's house. It smelled like mildew. I'm the floor there was a pile of dirt that had been swept into a pile but not scooped up. They were playing the radio and then this guy came in and was listening to something loudly on his phone which was the sound of a man coughing and woman laughing repeatedly. And I'm pretty sure he worked there. Th guy had all the chairs on top of the tables 30 min before close. Another man there commented on it so I know I'm not the only one who felt uncomfortable. If you are going to close 30 min early, just close!!! read more

We like Ela's Eatery! The menu is large and wide, service is good, and the prices are competitive. I like the nice large salads, and their burgers and daily specials are also delicious. The building has recently been remodeled, and it seats a lot of ppl. I like to meet my girlfriends there for lunch when they are on a time restriction for work. Calling in orders has worked out fabulously, the meals are waiting on the table when we arrive. We are very much like the people there. read more

Really good home-like food. The restaurant might be small, but they have a good turnout for customers. Very clean and great staff.

Great little breakfast diner (lunch is served as well). Plenty of staff, exceptional service and large selection. My husband and I shared the Vlore Skillet--filled us both up with food leftover. read more

It's super good, the food was fresh and hot, the workers are nice and respectful,and honestly wasn't that pricey for just me and my mother.

Excellent service and food. We were in town for an appt at the VA and randomly picked this restaurant from yelp. Would highly recommend.

Service was quick and courteous. Our skillets were acceptable but less than what we expected after reading previous reviews, both in flavor and ingredients. read more

Walleye Fish sandwich was amazing. Club combo well made, and delicious. Top n I think ingredients used. What a gem.

good food, great service. looks like a dinner from the 90's, no wait for food and music is not so loud you can't hear the person across from you. would recommend read more

Excellent food, and friendly service. Made me feel at home even though I'm thousands of miles away!!

Great breakfast restaurant! There are many good choices. We've been here many times and the service and quality are always great!

I've never actually been here but I have had take out through DoorDash. The food arrived fresh, hot and delicious. I would definitely recommend read more

Good place to stop for a quick breakfast on our way out of town. Really liked the menu options

I eat at Ela's for lunch 3-4 times a week. They have a great staff that never fails to take care of you. Lots of reparations customers here and the place is always full. Plenty of variety on the menu and the food is great! read more

Nice place. Friendly service and food is always great. The only disappointment is to order an appetizer and it arrives with the meal. The point of appetizers is usually to come out before a meal. Anyway, we definitely will continue to support this great establishment. I wish they had longer hours especially on the weekend. Stay open until 9 instead of 3. read more

Prompt & courteous service & the food is sooooo gooood We love their breakfast menu & their lunch menu

Dad mentioned coming here for lunch and I'm glad he did. Their chicken wrap and tortilla soup was delicious! My husband had a horseshoe and said it was just like back home. Highly recommended! read more
