Eli’s Kitchen

Probably one of the worse customer service I’ve had. Waitress took forever to refill my drink and by that time I was done with me meal. People in there are rude too. Arguing in front of customers. I will never go here again. I wish Marie’s café was open when we decided to give this play a try.

Not a pleasant display of food choices. Restrooms not up to quality standards. Water was bitter. Taste of food just ok

My family comes here every sat and sunday and it is One of the best places to eat!!! Best staff! Love the one cook, he always is in a great mood and sings. Food always perfect! I highly recommend eatting here. I will definitely be back to eat!

Awful attempt at Lebanese food. Agree fully with Julie K.‘s review.

The end of my Family Sunday Breakfasts at Eli’s… Goodbye to old school breakfast place, bad coffee, shady looking staff, grease filled food at a good price. You can still get the greasy food, bad coffee and shady looking service juts expect to now pay 2−½ times what you did just 6 months ago. The old staple of 2 eggs, toast and barely a hint of meat and potatoes for $ 1.99, then $ 2.99 then $ 3.99 is gone, it’s now just been raised again to $ 5, and the quality is still the same. Sorry Eli’s, these are Bob Evans prices, so we will go to the cleaner higher quality Bob Evans.
Actually left once we saw the increase… Good news is they now have new menus

We ordered the Lebanese Feast which included hummus, grape leaves, and falafel. We knew we were in for a treat when the cook didn’t know what our meal consisted of and the waitress had to bring over the menu to show him. The falafel tasted like small balls of very dry cornmeal. The grape leaves didn’t taste fresh and the hummus was inedible.
With regards to the atmosphere it did not seem very clean. The cups were chipped and cloudy. The speakers and wires that fed them probably were not dusted in 5 years, if ever. The floors were not clean. The waitresses were all sitting at the counter which seemed a little strange.
We took a couple bites of our food and left.

Eli’s Kitchen is a very nice place, if you’re looking for tasty, but inexpensive food. About, right when you sit down, they give you their menus so you can order. It is a very nice place, if you’re looking for some nice kind of like fast food but still freshly homemade. It is also like an old fashioned diner. The waiters and waitresses are very nice my order was the top of the, breakfast special. 2 eggs, (over easy) some English muffins, potatoes, and bacon. For my drink, I got hot chocolate. When they put the whipped cream on it, it was everywhere, so minus a bit for that. But overall it was fascinating. When I got my food, my potatoes were cold, and my eggs were more likely over hard, than over easy. My mum was upset when they did not have Tabasco sauce. But overall, the food was delicious, and for a good price too. I haven’t tried anything else yet but, I’m sure it is delicious. 4 out of 5 stars. I will be back.

First let me say that my boyfriend got a hamburger and stated that it was the best burger he’s ever had. The fries were great and it was all very fresh. It was huge and filling with a nice roll. The chef cooked it to perfection. So for all that why the 1 star rating? Well, everything else is the reason. There was no excuse for the outdated and dilapidated interior, the drinking glasses that were badly chipped that won’t come clean should have been thrown out years ago and no excuse for the dirty cook top. The salad I got didn’t taste good and the dressing was bitter. The dressing was also served in a plastic cup and was not homemade. The sign says home cooking but it clearly isn’t, because if it was they would take the time to make their own dressings. I asked which soup was fresh and the waitress said none. None of the soup was fresh daily and she couldn’t give me a date as to when it was made. It was also microwaved and had hot and cold spots. Microwaved soup in a diner??? Why? It was spilling over the bowl and partially burnt on the side. YUCK!!! She never once asked me how my meal was but stared at me the whole time, so I think she knew something was up. My advice, Gut the place! Start over! Please! Get rid of all the dishes and glassware and start over. Sell your burgers, upgrade your salads! Make your dressings FRESH! Make your soup FRESH daily! i guarantee then you will be the busiest place in town. Talk to your staff in the back about business not on the floor in front of guests. Maybe they are going for greasy spoon? But it’s not good and isn’t that the point of selling food?

Have only eaten breakfast here, but the food is good, you get a lot, and it’s extremely cheap (you can eat a full & hearty breakfast, with coffee, for less than $ 5 per person). Staff is always friendly, but it is more of a dive diner than upscale eating. We like to walk here on Saturday mornings for breakfast and there’s always a decent crowd there.

Discovered this breakfast joint while our house was being built in Medina. Haven’t had lunch there. If you want fancy, don’t come here, it’s an old school dive, and that’s part of it’s appeal. If you want hot, cheap, fast, tasty breakfast-​this is the place! The home fries are homemade, you know, with real potatoes. Not that frozen processed junk the breakfast chains use. The Belgian waffles are not good, though. They are pre made and then thrown on the grill to heat up. That’s gross and i’m not sure why they do that because it does not take that long to dump batter on a waffle iron and cook it. For eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, toast-​so worth it! And during the Christmas/​Candlelight walk parade you can walk in there and get a hot, fresh cup of coffee to go to warm you up for much cheaper than down the street!

We stop in every morning when home for vaca. They take debit/​credit just to correct the last review. Eggs Benedict, 3.99… Come on that’s a great price, especially for medina! I love it!!!

Eli’s is often a breakfast stop we make before hitting the Medina County farmers market. If you want gourmet, go next door to Marie’s. Divey, greasy, cheap, awesome.

Stopped here for lunch. Got the «large Greek salad». Probably the worst Greek salad I have ever had. The toughest parts of the mixed lettuces, including end pieces. Huge hunks of onion and the gyro meat may as well been steak-​umms. Maybe I should have gone with breakfast, Idk. For what I paid for the salad, what could be eaten, over-​priced and not good…

One of those little local shops you have to try. Might not be the prettiest shop in town but that just adds to the atmosphere. Great breakfast and good prices. Come in and support local business!
Update: Yup, still awesome! I recommend the Greek omelet. Credit cards are now accepted for any purchase over $ 5.

The best greasy spoon on the square, the staff make all the difference friendly and efficient

Eli’s Kitchen serves up a tasty and reasonably-​priced breakfast, and has plenty of other delicious-​looking American and Lebanese food on the menu for lunch and dinner, as well.
My mother and I came in from out of town and met a friend here for breakfast. The bill for three people came up to less than $ 8. The waitstaff were friendly, the food good, and I would definitely consider stopping in again the next time I’m on Medina Square.
