Ellie's Place — Restaurant in Warrenton

I came for Brunch with my toddler. Definitely an interesting set up. I ordered a grilled cheese for my kid and of course he was happy. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. I couldn’t eat it. I took two bites and the black pepper was so overwhelming my mouth was on fire! I love spicy food but this was out of control black pepper. I asked for a menu to try something else. As I hear behind me my server talking to another and she just says that’s how we make it. I was shocked. I’m a chef and i can’t believe another chef or cook would like that gravy was good. There was a family behind me where the two little girls got the same thing and was complaining to their father and he said to just scrap it off! And then he lied to the server when she asked loudly how is the biscuits and gravy and he said it was great…. I almost very complain but even when I ordered something else it wasn’t good nor even warm enough to melt the bagged cheese. They didn’t show me the bill so I have no idea if I paid for the item I took two bites out of… At this point I’m just...

The owner of Cast Iron, (thank you Alex!), recommended my wife and I try this place and get the pimento bacon cheeseburger. We were surprised a business owner would recommend his competition, but he told us it is his go-to place for lunch, and he did not steer us wrong! In addition to one of the best burgers we’ve ever had, my wife and I also got some scoops of Hershey’s ice cream that really hit the spot. The place was charming, cozy, and fast. We never had to ask for a refill on our drinks, their service was outstanding! We took the week to do a food tour of warrenton and had not planned on going here, but we are so glad we were pushed to it! We will definitely be stopping here whenever we come back to...

When we go out today it's usually disappointing with overpriced and poor quality food. Today was such a welcome change when we went to Ellie's Place. The burger with home made pimento cheese was the best I've had in a VERY long time (and I'm including my own which I take great pride in). The owner was incredibly nice and mentioned that the meat was sourced locally and the pimento cheese was based on a family recipe. We also had the pimento grilled cheese with bacon. Unreal how good it was. Both came with generous portions of fresh cut fries. We topped it all off with Hershey's ice cream. Go here....you will be...
