Yesterday was my first time to Eli's. We waited about a half hour in line and an hour to get our food. I thought it was a little long for such simple to prepare food. I ordered the bbq sandwich. Sandwich was really good, baked beans were good, Mac and cheese was just ok. Would not get Mac and cheese again. My boyfriend had the mashed potatoes and said they were really good. Next time we will do take out so we don't have to wait so long.

Ordered my food at 2:58. Our food did not come until 4:20. Over all the food was good. The pork sandwich was very good the Mac and cheese was good but not very hot. The baked beans were spicy but also good. Over all I don't think that the food was worth the wait. They only have glass bottles as drinks and the cost $2. I highly recommend bringing your own drinks and sides and just buying a sandwich. Over all food was good not great but good and service was very poor. They need a new management staff immediately.

The first time I've ever eaten BBQ that didn't need any sauce. They are doing something right.

The loaded hot dogs have the best taste to price ratio that I've ever encountered.
