Ellemay's Family Cafe - Ardmore

My family went once when they first opened and it was awful. Dirty restaurant, greasy tasteless food, a bunch of random people (teenagers, kids, guys who didn't seem to work there) hanging out in the back.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I am so sorry to say this because the wait staff was so nice but the food was horrible. Table was dirty, coffee was Cold. We were there for breakfast and it was not even edible. I am all about the little diners but this one was not doing it for me. My husband will eat anything and he didn't eat so that says a lot.

I found the original Southern Country Diner! From the brick cinder block walls painted blue, to the concrete floor, to the metal tables and chairs, this is it. Proprietor was smoking BBQ ribs in the back for dinner in overalls. We stopped by for breakfast and were treated to an awesome plate full of eggs, chicken fried steak, gravy, grits and homemade biscuits my wife had an egg sandwich on bread as she was not feeling will. The coffee was outstanding much like the service. Prior to leavening Daniel the owner gave me two ribs to try when I got home. When I did, the meat just feel off of the bone. No doubt we will be back for dinner. Really and nice place and slice of America. No show but ALL GO!!! BTW the bill... $16.00 inclusive of tip. Can't beat that. It's a bit difficult to locate but there is good signage. They are located right behind the L&S Shopping Center on Whitt Street. Enjoy!
