Ellie May's Homeplate Cafe

I’ve been here several times, never for lunch, always for take-out since I don’t have time to sit down and eat. I order the same thing each visit, but somehow the price is different every time (sometimes more, sometimes less). Normally I was in and out within 2–3 minutes with a very filling portion—at least until they decided to switch to a “cooked-to-order as you order” table service style. Now I wait over 10 minutes for the same simple order and still pay a different price each time but receive less food. On my last visit, an employee even offered me a free drink because she was embarrassed about how slow my order was. I didn’t accept, and when my food finally came, the portion was much smaller than what I had received in the past. Later I learned this was just a trial run for the rest

I got take out today. I love their food usually! Most specially their beef tips and rice but today it was sooooooo salty you couldn’t eat it and usually it’s delicious! I called and told them about it . The lady that answered the phone said she would tell the back. So y’all be careful! It’s sooooo bad!!! That’s all that was said!

3rd time we have been rejected. 1st time we arrived approximately 950am. We out of food setting up for lunch . (No approximate ready time) just leave! 2nd arrived around 1:00 buffet style bits and pieces no appealing food (dried out) and 3rd 9:30 am 9/12/25 waiting 7 minutes for waitress (she was very nice) 10/12 people were there already served! Brought me a tea, 2min later she told me that they were out of food! I left hungry again. You’re telling me that no flour,eggs pancake mix,even cereal. Really, my friends and family are quite large. Just like the other restaurant that was there before you. I don’t see you making it! Good luck with your other customers I won’t be back.

Good Breakfast lunch and also have some juicy handmade bacon cheeseburger if you don’t want anything off the bar you can get it made to ordered homemade burgers fries wings fried and grilled wraps etc… I was not disappointed..

Tried the homemade apple pie today IT WAS THE BEST PIE I HAVE EVER ATE! MY FAMILY AND MYSELF LOVE ELLIE MAYS!
