“I visited this location a couple of days ago and ordered a salad with sautéed mushrooms. Unfortunately, the mushrooms had a strong fish-like taste, which made me suspect they may have been cooked on the same grill as fish. I returned with the salad less than 30 minutes later to simply have the issue addressed. As soon as I walked in, the same man who had taken my order—“Elliot” (pictured and seemingly the owner)—immediately accused me of being someone else who “always complains,” even though I have not visited this restaurant in over two years and have never filed a complaint here before. He continued to insist I was a “frequent complainer,” which was completely untrue. He then went on to degrade me by claiming he “knew” me and that I worked at Foot Locker. I have never worked at Foot Locker a day in my life—I’m an educator. Instead of listening, he doubled down and accused me of trying to get something for free despite the fact that I never asked for my money back, nor did I even get the chance to ask for a simple remake of the salad without the mushrooms. When I pointed out that not every Black person looks the same, he quickly tried to backtrack—even though his accusations clearly came from mistaking me for someone else. His behavior was disrespectful, dismissive, and completely unprofessional, especially considering I came during my lunch break and calmly explained the issue. He refused to remake my order, caused a scene, and treated me as though I was being dishonest when all I wanted was the grilled chicken salad I originally paid for. The level of disrespect was embarrassing and unnecessary, and after this experience, I cannot see myself ever patronizing this business again.”
“First time at Elliot’s and probably one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had. Perfectly charred on the edges and big!”
“Great eats! Parking is hit or miss unfortunately 😕 But, if you call in ahead of time, your order usually ready to go! Heck! Even walk ups are 10-15 mins with cooked to order. Place has been here for decades and I don't think it's going anywhere soon! You can meet the owner on most days working in the back with staff. Really dope dude!”
“They are so friendly and nice top tier service....Been eating them since a teen... Never go wrong!!!”
“So their meatloaf special on Wednesdays is SO good and Home-y and it comes with mashed potatoes and green beans- ugh! SO GOOD and like a warm hug on a dreary Wednesday at work on my lunch break!”
