Been coming here since 2010 and still so good. Jillian, Tara and Patrick do a great job with team work. Ellen’s Kitchen does things a little differently as far as service goes. Servers don’t have stations, they all just work together and pull together. Unbelievable on how fast the kitchen gets the food out. I can’t even go through drive thru as fast as that. Keep up the good good work and thank you for all the smiles.

Outstanding hole in the wall restaurant. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The food is made with love and tastes fabulous. I've had the breakfast numerous times, but the Cobb salad with blackened chicken is amazing. The chicken is made to order. With so many breakfast/lunch restaurants in the area, this one is by far the very best. Quality ingredients, delicious and well seasoned.

You can't beat the good or the service at Ellen's Kitchen, a treasured local breakfast and lunch spot. The place is bright and cheerful with colorful local paintings. There are a few sidewalk tables. Breakfast are served hot and fast. All the usual suspects plus some surprises. Fantastic soups, salads and sandwiches are served at lunchtime.

Ellen’s is special part of Neptune Beach. Great food, wonderful service and fun vibes. Kelly’s corned beef hash is the best! Be sure to treat yourself to a grilled biscuit or muffin!!
