Crazy good food! This is a counter order place with delicious, healthy bowls with options like…read morehatch chili farro, salmon, kale caesar loaded with cashews, herb brined chicken breast, falafel, umami broccoli... Just so many good choices! And then at the same time, they serve fried chicken and chicken sandwiches. And the prices are very reasonable. I got two sauces with my bowl and didn't end up using either because everything had so much good flavor (yep, brought those home). My sister and I showed up at lunch and got easy parking just on the other side of the street. We ordered at the counter and as it was our first time had a number of questions. The staff was super helpful and my food came out much quicker than I expected. They have lots of coffee and other specialty drinks but there's also water available in the counter area where you also get your silverware and napkins, a perfect arrangement for us heavy water drinkers The decor is funky and fun and definitely heavy on a chicken theme. I try out a lot of good places but this is at the top of my list of restaurants I need to return to soon. I was glad to see they have a total of four sites in different places and my sister who lives up in New Hampshire is hoping they will open one up there.

My friend who is gluten free loves this place and I was finally able to come with her. They make everything here so you don't have worry about any allergen and no outside drinks are allowed. I got the spicy chicken quesadilla which surprised me with hot cheetos as it wasn't written on the menu but i think it's the new add on. This was not spicy at all but I am good with spice so that may be why. It came with 2 quesadillas cut into 4 slices and the wrap tasted like ur regular tortilla. Great place for gluten free options and they even have desserts and pasta. Note the hours aren't your regular hours daily so make sure to check before hand.

A couple of us had the banana nut French toast, two had the chocolate chip pancakes, and one had the Baja Grill. All the food was fantastic! Just really fresh and very tasty. I also splurged on the Grand Mimosa and it was really good. Very friendly service. We will definitely be back!

We visited Ellie's for breakfast recently after a recommendation. Sad to report it was not good…read more We were immediately served some apple slices dusted in cinnamon sugar. Nice unexpected start. My wife and I both ordered Eggs Benedicts, my wife with ham, mine with their own corned beef hash. This is where things took a downward swing. First, both dishes came out without Hollandaise sauce. We pointed this out to our server who apologized and immediately took both back. When they came back out the Holladaise looked broken. We decided to accept them as opposed to sending them back again, and the taste was off, with a slight sour hint. I mentioned this to the owner/chef who checked on us and he was surprised and told us he would check the sauce. We never saw or heard from him again. The corned beef hash was shredded corned beef mixed with hash brown potatoes, with the potatoes dominating. It lacked flavor. One of my eggs was over cooked, with a hard yolk. The accompanying homefries were nice, maybe the highlight of the meal. On the plus side, our server, who told us up front she was new, was very good. We may give it another try as maybe it was just a bad day in the kitchen.

The place was lit with warm light, the decor was classy yet contemporary. The lady at the counter helped me figure out what I wanted from their vast menu. And everything was delivered to my table fast and friendly. When I bit into the "backyard bowl" my first thought was F- yeah! It was so good. Short rib, chicken, bacon, and avocado of rice with an egg on top. It tasted great! Too bad I leave at zero-dark 30 tomorrow or I would come back for breakfast. (Which is served all day). Love it. I can't believe I missed a week of this place.

Ya know, I once navigated to this place on accident before? Yeah. Still not sure what my GPS was…read moredoing that day. Because I normally go to the one in Salem. But on this day, I thought to myself, "Self, I really hate making that busy-as-hell left turn on South Broadway in Salem. What if we took a journey to the Andover location instead?" And so it was. I enter this cozy little restaurant carefully tucked against a slightly submerged parking garage. Although, I probably shouldn't say "little" because the interior was noticeably larger than its Salem counterpart. It's also noisy AF in there when it gets busier than a New York subway. So naturally, I ordered my usual to-go (a Country Classic with an extra egg and hashbrowns for those who don't know). Only it wasn't *quite* ready on time. Which, to be fair, is kind of a minor point. Thing is, they have to shout your name whenever your order is finally ready. This in and of itself can prove to be quite the challenge when bellowing atop the already roaring crowd of customers impeding the otherwise accessible pickup shelves. I'll do my best to describe the interior since I wasn't really able to take pictures. But try to imagine an L-shaped dining area with the longest part hosting a row of countertop seats facing the windows. Beyond that sits a rather modest dining area with a few more tables. Next to that sits the gender neutral restrooms. It's strange and cramp, particularly when the place is packed tighter than a sardine can. Sufficed to say, I'm not much a fan of the interior design here. Being the partial recluse that I am, I offer the following best practice for a place so riotous: mobile order that shiz, cuh! Seriously. I had to put in my noise cancelling earbuds to appease my misophonia. The good news is....the food is still awesome. The eggs? Creamier than crème fraîche. Taters? Eh, I don't why...but these seemed way more seasoned the very first time I tried them. Fortunately, they actually pair rather well with their refined version of ketchup. The bacon? Well...let's just say I wish it were served well done. Not sure if I'm able to request that. But I'll scope out my options next time and get back to you all. That's it though. Nice place, WAY easier to get to than its Salem counterpart, but a bit too cramp and noisy for my taste which means....I'll likely ever dine in here. It's all good though, because I'm still giving Crack'd Kitchen & Coffee in Andover 4 Country Classics with all the fixins out of 5.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the right place for me…read more I'm very particular about cleanliness, especially when it comes to restaurants. The plastic cups our drinks were served in looked heavily scratched, cloudy, and worn to the point that they appeared dirty. Whether they were clean or not, the appearance alone completely turned me off. I ended up paying for our drinks but decided not to order any food because I no longer felt comfortable eating there. I know everyone has different standards, but first impressions matter, and this experience made it difficult for me to want to come back.

We have been meaning to try this place for ages and are so glad we finally made it! Our picks for…read morethis first trip were 1) the Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes with Walnuts and a side of turkey bacon and 2) Jim's Backyard Scramble. We would absolutely get both again. The pancakes were lovely and thick and the option to add walnuts added a great texture. There were also at least ten specials posted (not on menu) and the chorizo eggs benny is going to be my pick next time (hoping it is still there!). I also had a green tea with my meal which was nice. The menu is classic but with a few twists. Definitely count on some nice looking specials not on the menu, too. There is parking right out front but we grabbed a space on the other side of the street. If you do that not that there seem to be both one and two hour spaces so be sure to pick the right one. Service is fast and super friendly and helpful. You can pay with cash or Venmo or Cash App and they have ATM atm inside if you need it. Seating is mostly booths and comfortable and well maintained. You do need to get the code for the bathroom but it is easy and also very well maintained. The whole place has a warm neighborhood feel and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who keep coming back.

I've been here twice since first finding out about it a couple months ago. They have some amazing…read moredonuts, and it's probably my favorite donut place as of now. I'm typically not the biggest honey dipped donut fan, but I highly recommend theirs. A few others I've really liked include the maple frosted, vanilla cream, and tiger tail. Their chocolate honey dipped cake donut is also surprisingly good, and I'm usually not that fond of cake donuts. They're pretty expensive at $3.50 a donut, with some costing a bit more, but if you order half a dozen or a full dozen, you get them for cheaper. I also recommend going there within the first hour of them opening, because it seems they can sell out of donuts pretty fast. The second time I went an hour after opening, they were already sold out of the vanilla cream donuts and tiger tails. It's not the biggest place, but they still have some tables for people looking to eat there.
