Hands down the best food we have ever had. The flavour in absolutely everything was 👌 We had the sharing platter, duck spring rolls and the duck main. We aren't from the area but we'd happily take the trip back just to eat here again. Highly recommend

Went here on Saturday afternoon. It was very quiet and I don't know why. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. We had the steak sandwich, bbq burger and salt n chili chicken. Everything was well cooked and the onion rings were homemade!! Great views and lovely staff.

Went here last Tuesday evening with family for a coffee. We actually ended up here because Costa was closing. I got a large americano and my wife got a regular. Absolutely terrible sizes. Large was no more than 250ml, if even! So imagine how small the regular was. Them 2 coffee alone, £6. Not be back. Costa the next time.

Walked in and the view straight away from the wall of windows... its stunning! It is worth 5 stars on its own! Lovely food and great service, even my picky eaters ate it all. Good selection for a lunch menu, really enjoyed it

I have eaten at Ellies on a number of occasions and found it hit and miss but post covid I figured I would try it again and was pleasantly surprised. I had a table booked for a low key family meal. We arrived and were quickly seated at the large back windows as I had requested which offer a spectacular view across Dungannon and beyond. The sunny day made this view even more impressive and offered many talking points. We were seated and a drinks order taken straight away while menus were distributed. The menu is a single, unlaminated printed sheet, a remanent of covid times which I hope will disappear soon as the single page is less than pleasant to order from. The one gripe I continue to have with Ellies is the slow service for the initial ordering of starters and mains. The service the rest of the time seems to be fine but this initial delay to order is a consistent issue. Starters arrived quickly consisting of brie, soup, salted chilli chicken and garlic mushrooms. I first want to say that the portions for starters are very generous. The bries were large wedges, there was plenty of chicken and mushrooms too. A delight when you consider that usually starter sizes can be rather mean. The brie was golden and gooey. The soup was a subtle, creamy curried cauliflower which was a delightful change of pace from the bog standard soup choices offered elsewhere. For mains we had steaks, chicken stacks, burgers and baked salmon. All of which was fabulous. Portions were generous and served very well. The steak was cooked to perfection with a lovely sear. The champ was creamy and the baked salmon was a riot of colour. For dessert we indulged in cheesecakes, lemon meringue pie and brownies. The cheesecake was super rich and sweet. The brownies very sweet but still nice. The lemon meingue let the side down a little because, while it looked like a work of art it was cold. Lemon meringue should be served hot, and not just the meringue blow torched to mildly warm and browned. From base to tip it should be hot. The vanilla ice cream tasted vaguely smokey also and was not something we would go for again. Other than speeding up the initial ordering and tinkering with the desserts to serve hot where appropriate and change the vanilla ice cream brand, I was very impressed with this trip to Ellies and will certainly be back. For the generous portions and good quality the meal was also quite reasonably priced!

Visited on a Friday evening for a special occasion with our son. Tables well spaced and welcoming. Food was excellent and our son’s food was good too. No masks worn but staff did not get too close and we were happy to pass plates across. Reserved our table and were given one with a view. Have been many times and will return. Good for Sunday lunch too.

We visited as a family for a birthday dinner. The staff are amazing and so attentive. I needed help with gluten free options and the waitress told me with ease which dishes suited and even checked with the kitchen and they changed the halloumi starter to be gluten free. This is so refreshing I felt like I had so many choices. The food came and it was fresh and delicious. Everyone enjoyed the meal in lovely surroundings. Highly recommend Ellies as a place to eat when in dungannon.

I take my lovely godmother here often as she just loves it. She enjoys looking out the panorama windows at the views over dungannon and even more importantly her inevitable sausage and chips. The staff always look after her so well and have her order down pat. It's a lovely open restaurant with great parking for the golden oldies. The menu has many other tasty options besides sausage and chips you may be pleased to hear and I cannot fault the service in any way. Many thanks to all for the enjoyment we have here.

Hello, I am writing to say how disgusted I was at how I was treated today in your restaurant. Firstly you have on your menu gf chicken burger and chips, however you did not have a gf bap, then you did not have gf chips. There was no apology for this, I ended up with a plain chicken fillet ( no batter) a pile of leaves and onions with a tiny slice of tomato and a very small serving of coleslaw with possibly a few peppers and was charged the full price of chicken fillet burger and chips!!! When I queried the price the person in charge was extremely rude. Will not be back. Why advertise on your menu food you do not have? Why employ rude staff?

We called in here after a St Partick's day visit to the town with family and had a great lunch. The food was, as requested, brought out fast as we were on our way to the Airport, but the food quality was excellent and the taste great. We had a good mix from the menu and the service was very friendly. Very reasonable prices too. Will come back again. Final point, great view from this vantage point on the top of the town, which I am sure would be good at night.

Our friends took us here after meeting up with the day as they regularly visit. The restaurant itself had a nice setting with lovely window seats out onto lovely views. We ordered starters & mains between us & the kids got three food very quickly which was good they all had empty plates and were satisfied. We had a mixture of dishes from the early bird menu and regular menu and all were happy with dishes. The only thing was nobody came to clear our plates so we were all sitting for a while before we went ahead ourselves and paid when we were leaving as there was nobody around our table for quite a while to ask for Bill. It was reasonably priced and enjoyable.

My friend and I visited last Thursday. We got a window seat as requested and received our drink order and menus quickly. We waited about 20 minutes for our food which was ok as we were busy chatting. My friend ordered off the Early Bird Menu and when it arrived there were chips instead of garlic fries but she didn't mind. (The vegetarian stir fry would feed two people!) We sat for a long time after eating and no one came to remove the plates or ask about desert menus.We also had to ask twice for some water. The restaurant was pleasantly busy.

Ate here as a party of 5 a few weeks ago. Seated at the window with a great view across dungannon. Waitress was very helpful and friendly. No complaints there. The menu was extensive but all pretty standard stuff. Our party had fish and chips and peppered beef I went for the duck confit. When it arrived the duck leg was covered in cabbage and was served with a weird mango sauce. I like a bit of cabbage but this was a touch excessive. Each individual part of the dish was nice but it didn't really combine to make a complete dish.

With all the bad press about Dungannon's famous road system upgrade it was worth a visit to Ellies Grill in Thomas street, what a golden gem with at the door parking, friendly considerate happy staff with nothing any bother.

Been in numerous times for breakfast and lunch - have yet to be disappointed with my sit ins.I have had a take out a few times, all of which have been chicken caesar salads. For some reason i was given different chicken each time in my salad take out from what is served when sitting in (perhaps this is their normal workings but i was disappointed).On the other hand, the chicken caesar salad when sitting in was fantastic - will struggle to find a nicer one in town. Other foods are also very good; omelettes, goujons, burgers, breakfasts.Service is adequate and polite. I'm not one who demands great service or cares much about it so i can't complain on that front. I hate those places that have too many staff on and your table is being hounded every 5mins with those asking "if everything satisfactory" - luckily Ellies gets the balance just right!Have been numerous times and will always frequent myself here.Good views from window seats also!

Had to get our own menus after a 5 minute wait in a not too busy restaurant, food arrived and was very tasty and well presented, we then sat for a good 10 minutes with the dirty plates in front of us, nobody came near us, we wanted dessert but gave up waiting. To add insult to injury a waitress came and sat down close to us with her dinner! Nice looking restaurant and good food but the service is practically non existent.

It's an expensive place, has a poor selection and I watched the chef lick his fingers as he prepared his food a blonde short guy, disgusting and I'd not risk coming here after such terrible behaviour. The owner should stick to his chip shops, staff have no customer service training and seemingly no concept of food hygiene , might sound harsh but a fellow reviewer also has commented and seen the same antics from this member of staff.

Today my friend and I arrived to grab some food before a meeting. We picked a table and checked out the menu. When the waitress came to take our order I said I was gluten free and asked could I have bacon, chips and an egg- well I was shocked the abrupt answer of no you won't get an egg as it is after 11:30am. I asked if they ha any eggs? She said yes but they don't cook eggs after this time? She pointed me to the gluten free options of curry and stir fry. I asked could they ask the chef if I could get an egg as that's what I fancied - she said no they won't do one for you, we only have sausage and chips with beans on the menu - I choose the 'gluten free veg curry'.Let's just say my stomach is killing me 3 hours later. I'm not blaming the curry however I know my symptoms and body to know that I was intolerant to something in the curry-It was easy but the service was terrible - no such things these days as pleasing a customer-

Oh my what a confusing lunch. My daughter wanted a toasted sandwich and they said no she could have a toasted panni instead. She then thought of a BLT but without cheese, but they had no bacon so she got a BLT with chicken and tomatoe instead of bacon, lettuce and cheese. To me that's a toasted sandwich, we did laugh. Service can be slow and food is very hit and miss at lunch and breakfast time.

I was expecting it to be served on a plate, however, it arrived in a mini fryer basket. For the life of me I don't know why. Had a bit of trouble cutting into the fish due to the limited room in the basket. For was nice though, but for fish and chips in a mini basket; it was a bit expensive.

Stumbled across this lovely wee restaurant today after an unexpected trip to the Minor Injuries Unit in Dungannon. Unfortunately the best tables overlooking that great view to the mountains were occupied but we had a lovely meal. My husband had the chicken curry which was beautifully presented and enough to feed two people! I had the chicken Caesar salad which was very tasty except for the croutons which were too big and tasted a bit odd! Treated ourselves to dessert which was divine, lemon and almond cake and chocolate fudge cake and couldn't fault either. ( we shared!) Next time I'm in Dungannon will return. Delighted to see the restaurant busy and wish them every success for the future.

Went to Ellie's for lunch on a Thursday. When we went in we were seated straight away and a drinks order taken. While we were there it wasn't too busy. We arrived at 1.10 and after placing our order we waited 50 mins for our food. It still hadn't arrived so I went and asked the waiter. They explained that there was a bit of a mix up on their behalf and that our order had only been placed now, however it would be out straight away. The waiter was very apologetic and It was clear that it was just a mistake. We got our food at 2.05 nearly an hour after arriving. The food was nice and the waiter kept checking back to see if everything was okay.

A nice little spot with great views out over dungannon. An extensive menu with a great variety of choice to please everyone. The food is quite nice, but i do find that it varies quite often and there is no consistency. I always order a Caesar salad but each time it is always made differently sometimes with different ingredients which is slightly annoying. Service is improving as well which is good. I would recommend for lunch if looking for somewhere in dungannon.

I visited here yesterday with my brother for lunch, we where sitting at our un cleaned table for over 10 minutes waiting on service.I eventually had to call someone to ask if was table service or did we have to go order ourselves. Then after the waitress took our order I had to ask again for the table to be cleaned.I ordered a vegetarian toastie, & the filling was just falling out of the bread as they hadn't put cheese or a sauce of any kind to hold it together, my brother had the chicken toastie & his was the same.We then asked for 2 pots of different sauces to try & make the food edible ourselves.The service was terrible the food was poorly presented & all in all it didn't make for a good experience.With so much choice around the area at the minute they would really need to improve, & as its in a prime position in town with some improvement this would be a great place to dine.

Dropped in on Ellies Café-grill after a long day out not sure what to expect and found the meals to be of good quality and value. It was clean and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

I am glad that I chose the roast salmon dish this evening. With its pesto crust and a lovely sauce, this was a truly lovely meal. Thank you, Ellie's

Stopped here for a quick lunch when I was passing through Dungannon. Lovely place that is very clean and that has very attentive and mostly friendly staff. It was fairly busy but not hectic. I decided on the soup and sandwich combo which was lovely. Red pepper and courgette soup was really good, hot with loads of flavour. My only gripe was that the bowl was really small, that's the only reason I haven't given 5 stars. My sandwich was really good, fresh and a decent amount of filling but not everything on the sandwich menu was available which was a bit disappointing. I'd happily come back here for food and I'd recommend it to others. The desserts looked very good too.

I have eaten here both in the evening, at lunch time and for a light bite on half a dozen occasions. I and my friends have thoroughly enjoyed our food each time. As an accomodation provider, I have sent guests there and they all come back with the same opinion. Could not have been nicer.

No one had been there and we were going for Lunch with a few lads from work. I ordered a coffee assuming that [because of the menu] it was made from grounds. It was barely distinguishable as coffee; it was that weak. I ordered something simple a tune and sweetcorn sandwhich and I could have counted the sweetcorn on one hand. The tuna was fairly bland as well and the sandwhiches themselves looked like they had been hacked apart with a broken bottle. Staff were very friendly if a little on the slow side but interior is nice and fresh.

Visited here one Saturday for lunch. We were showed to our table, and then sat waiting to order for about 15 minutes. The waitresses just walked past us ignoring us, even though it was not busy. We ordered soup and a sandwich, and burger and chips. Then we waited 45 minutes for our food. A table of 6 came in and ordered after us, and were served their food before us. No waitress came near us, to apologise for the wait, or say how much longer it would be. I managed to call over a waitress and she was not friendly at all, didn't listen to what i called her over for, just said someone will be with u in a minute. A couple of minutes later our food arrived, and waitress said your food was so long as you ordered the burger. Don't understand that as the table that arrived after us git burgers?? Food was average. But service was unacceptable. Will not be back

Went in this morning for breakfast with my wife. The food and surroundings were very nice, and very good value for money. However, and its a big however, we are disabled. My wife would normally use he wheelchair when out. On this occasion she had to use her crutches as there was no space either side of the parking spot to position her chair. I'd point out to the owner that it isn't enough to paint a wheelchair on an existing space, you have to ensure the space can be properly used. Sort out the parking and we will visit regularly.

Went with some friends but we couldn't pay separately for our own which made things very awkward for us. 1 person had to pay by card for us all.... then we had to pay her and most of us had no change and had to owe her. Spoiled the whole experience. Food mediocre. My wrap had hardly and chicken in it and the taco sauce was not visible the portion was so mean. It was dry and small and very dissapointing.

I took a business colleague here for lunch a few months back and on his return visit two weeks ago he asked to go again so it must have been good.I've only ever been here for lunch during the week and it's always been nice without doing enough to make me come back outside of work hours - a very solid 4 stars though. Last time I has in I had a warm chicken caeser salad and I'd happily recommend it.The staff are friendly but on two occasions my bill has been wrong at the till. The first time I took that business colleague the bill was out by about 100% as I'd been charged for 4 meals instead of two. The lad on the till appeared to be very young though and learning, and the mistake was so obvious that there was no way it was deliberate. His attitude was a bit funny though as while he remained pleasant he couldn't sort it out despite several attempts and eventually he just walked off leaving the young girl beside him to fix it.

My sister and I decided to visit Ellies for coffee and scones this morning. We had never been before and were pleasantly suprised by the nice decor inside it. Nice and airy. We were shown to our table and given menu's. We had to wait quite a while for the waitress to came back to take the order. We thought that we had been forgotten about. When she came back we ordered two coffees and a fruit and cherry scone. I asked if they were freshly made today and she said they were after I asked her a second time.After quite a while again she returned with our order. As soon as I saw the scones I knew they had been taken out of the freezer. The top was a bit flaky as if it had freezer burn.The first bite confirmed this. They even still had a slight bit of heat in them. My sister agreed with me. They definitely had not been freshly baked that day but were stale and from the freezer. I don't like been lied to and would definitely not recommend their scones. The waitress when asked again if the scones were fresh said they were. I didn't like her attitude. We only had a few bites from the stale scones. Expensive at £ 8.40 for 2 scones and 2 coffees.

On arrival we were seated, immediately asked if we wanted any drinks before even looking at the menu, ordered some drinks to stall for time to peruse the menu. Quite a varied selection and we decided on our food. Lovely light airy feel, unfortunately my sister and I felt like a cold air was blowing on us, on remarking to a waitress the answer was some pointing to the roof where I think she was making reference to a fan, a better idea would have been to ask us would we like to sit elsewhere. Ignoring these signs we ordered our food and eagerly awaited its arrival. The hand cut chips were dry and cold for the 3 meals, the chicken curry was lovely and warm but had a side of salad on the plate, and the rice had seen better days. We ate and then ordered tartlets for desserts, I presumed they would be individually made, alas they were slices of pie. On sight they didn't look appetising, they tasted slightly better than expected but had a soggy bottom. It was a sisters day out, and beyond the chattering at our table the dining experience was a disaster. Paid for the food and left a10p tip which was left from £40, to the waitress who mumbled about the ceiling fan. We will hardly be recommending Ellie's after today .

Went to Ellies after an appointment for a bite to eat, arrived at 1150am and unfortunately I was informed that the lunches menu didn't commence till 12noon and they couldn't accommodate us with 2 slices of roast meat. Surely if they had taken our order it would have been 12 noon by the time they got our order out.This is extremely poor service for the sake of approximately 10 minutes. Willl definitely not be returning to the restaurant. They do themselves more harm than good.

I had really good cheese and ham sandwiches…I have eaten them all week…If you get home made foods here they are great.. Lasagne, quiche the chips are good.. nice coleslaw.. It’s spacious and handy enough to park on the street outside.. or free parking out the back (in the free spaces section).. It can be a bit rushed at certain times and decor a bit dated but it’s the middle of the day… I am here for the good food!
