Ellie's Restaurant at Mills Park Hotel

A convenient location with ample parking and plenty of seating. The corgi theme is cute, although there is not an obvious explanation (presumably Ellie is/was a corgi?) The menu is varied enough for everyone from carnivores to vegans to find something, and the cocktails are creative. The red beans and rice were certainly a unique take on the concept, but very tasty. The bakery items are also fresh and impressive. During our visit, there was only one server working the entire restaurant, and we were very impressed with her friendliness and efficiency. Luckily the kitchen was fully staffed and food came out amazingly fast!

Tried Ellie’s Restaurant in Yellow Springs — we did takeout this time. My daughter ordered the chicken sandwich with kettle chips and a pickle spear. It was good. Not blow-your-mind, but solid and enjoyable. My husband went with the Southern Skillet and really liked it. Beautiful biscuit, but the texture was really dry but it was still a win. I ordered a side of bacon (because… bacon) and the tomato basil soup. The bacon was good. It’s bacon. It did its job. 🥓 The soup, though… tasted more like pizza sauce. Same consistency, same vibe. That one was honestly disappointing. BUT — redemption arc: The coconut cake was to die for. Absolute ⭐️ of the show. Worth ordering again all by itself. Also worth noting — the server who checked me out was really nice, which always matters. Would we go back? Yes — but mostly for that cake. 😌🍰

Delicious food, perfectly cooked eggs, chicken, and potatoes. Best scrambled eggs I’ve had in a long time - creamy yet “well done”, and delicious. Their baked goods taste homemade and also are a real treat. Check out the gift shop in the hotel.

I dont like to give bad reviews. Everyone has a bad day. We checked in online an hour early because we had 6 people. Timer on the site said 10-20 wait. We arrived minutes before our time and still had to wait 45 minutes. So an hour and 45 minutes to get a seat. The front end people, all three of them were more intrigued by something on their phone and bothered I asked how long. On tonour server, obviously upset over something. She just did not want to be there. Our food, was fantastic. See photos, fresh, hot and delicious. Did not aee much of our server after the food was run out. Took forever to get our check. The coffee and espresso were amazing. The place was spotless clean and smelled amazing. So this is a 50/50 review. We will probably go back and try it again. We love the atmosphere and food. Remember, this is just what we experienced and is just my opinion.

The food was delicious-chicken and waffles top notch! It came with a honey butter and special bourbon syrup that added a different flavor that was perfect. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of our questions. The atmosphere was beautiful and quaint.
