2023 UPDATE I typically do not post photos of food partially eaten because I find it unappealing... But that is my point here... Paying $7-$8 for a spring roll is fine, but when so much of them are filled with hard rice paper and mushy cucumbers and carrots, it's pretty unappealing. Ely's was known for higher quality, fresh (truly fresh) dishes served with good intentions and high regard for customers. I've made spring rolls at home and when the rice paper becomes hard, it is noticable to the touch... Rather disappointing and subpar quality that Ely's traditionally delivers. This shows a lack of concern for high standards, quality, and customers. Truly disappointed in you Ely's...
2022 UPDATE Still a really good option compared to what is available. Went on a Monday and was really happy. Spring rolls were good, but missing the fresh crunch the old recipe had. I think they substitute parsley now for what used to be cilantro or lemon grass. Definitely adding that back would make these spring rolls out if this world. Chicken nuggets were amazing, I wish they sold a huge bag of the GF version that I could buy. Chipotle tomato/red pepper soup was good, nothing crazy, balanced, and I liked the texture. Vegetable quinoa soup was lack luster. Paying almost $5 for literally a cup of soup, I was expecting fresh vegetables not a frozen bag mix. Will not order again. All in all, I love some things and disappointed in some things. I love all the GF options they never had before. I hope they switch back to using as many fresh ingredients as possible. You can definitely take the difference. Will be back; Monday was better than a Tuesday.
FORMER MANAGEMENT This was a nice vegan option, which is difficult to find! I loved the oysters mushrooms on the fried green tomatoes. The dressing for it was lacking a little flavor. I really enjoyed the spring rolls with the peanut sauce. Those were fantastic!
So we came back a second time and I loved what I tried! The lemongrass meatballs were so good I ordered two, so I could eat it the following day. The cold blueberry soup tasted like a blueberry smoothie! I was much more satisfying and full from this lunch than the fried green tomato salad.
I change my rating to 4.5 stars! The seating makes it a little difficult to get comfortable. Also once you've been there at least once you know what...
Read morewell it is a nice small intimate restaurant so has mostly take out. Menu looks good; But it is vegan but they have not understand what is vegan there is gluten served and cheese they serve sliced bread . After telling them I am a Celiac and no dairy mold,peanuts and must be gluten free. she looked down at the refrigerator display case there was about 3 items I could eat then wanted to know what would I order I Thought for a second so wouldn’t offend but I said maybe I could arrange a call them another day so they first order so you can prepare my order before any your business of the day procedures they said that is better she did say she sliced bread.earlier I am cross contamination is number one on my list to avoid this has made sick more times then I can count. So this isn’t a place I couldn’t order a take out this is a very nice restaurant for people who just want a nice healthy snack but near me is a store Healthy Treasures I can eat at it is located in Newton Falls, and another of my favourite place Grazers’s in Kent,Ohio on water street across. the street is the river that runs through Kent in fact I do most of my Christmas...
Read moreI drink too much. Anyone that knows me will tell you this about me, and often without prompting. However, the drinking is not so much the issue as are the resulting hangovers.
The number of mornings I've woken up nauseous and with a head pounding harder than the sound effects track in a Michael Bay movie are innumerable. Yet I have found a secret weapon in combatting such an affliction: Ely's to Go.
Long gone are the days of suffering the wicked revenge of the drink because salads won't nurse me through like a sandwich and other vegan places are essentially meatless fast food. Ely's to Go is healthy and filling with a rotating menu that assures diversity in your meals from day to day. With vegan chicken nuggets that put Chick-fil-A to absolute shame, this is not an eatery to be overlooked.
Oh, but you aren't a vegan? Take it as my personal guarantee that, no matter what your dietary predilection may be, you will fall in love with something at Ely's to Go. Try their Banh Mi sandwiches on Tuesdays, BLT with avocado on Thursdays or one of the delicious pastries they have available every day. You can...
