Eli's could become your place. It's a spot where the bartender looks up when you come in---and if he knows you, your drink will be ready by the time you sit down. Quiz them about their extensive selection of scotch and bourbons, and… Read Full Editorial

Terrible by rosielouber via Citysearch on 10/11/2011

I recently moved across the street and was pretty excited about living across from a restaurant, especially when I saw their comfort food heavy menu. I went there on a Tuesday afternoon and sat at the bar and wow, the service was even…

Great Food....Soup Nazi Service by Kitda via Citysearch on 6/19/2011

Eli's is a well kept secret. The atmosphere is always sensational and the food is always great. My favorites the Stuffed Chicken Breast, Penne and Cheese and the CRAB CAKES!!!!! The crab cakes are the best I've had north of New Orleans. …

Beware of Blake by rajflora via Citysearch on 5/18/2011

This bartender needs some serious anger management control. Don't dare to express an opinion or engage with him in any way. He is moody, unpredictable, confrontational, and downright hostile. My girlfriend and I were sitting at the bar…

Horrible Service by Anonymous Customer 101 via Citysearch on 9/19/2010

The service has always been okay until recently. Had a friend visiting from out of town, arrived at Eli's he was totally starving. It was busy and there were three tables connected for a six person table with two young ladies. The…

YUM by Food Connoisseur 365 via Citysearch on 8/29/2010

I LOVE the food... I've tried several things on their menu and I've enjoyed all of it. Having weekly specials is a fun bonus to this place and keeps me coming back :) Its all so delish!! Its definitely casual and cozy. I know I read a…

A little bit of Old Minnepolis survives near Block E by Molly Priesmeyer via Citysearch on 5/23/2010

While scores of trendy, high-concept bars and eateries compete for nightlife dollars in downtown Minneapolis, Eli?s has remained a simple staple. Indeed, anyone who thinks a true neighborhood bar and grill can?t subsist within a mile of…

Eli's Bar and Grill by Arian K via Insider Pages on 2/14/2010

I haven't been here for a while, but the last time I was the place was clean and the wait staff well above average. The biggest problem with the place is parking. On the street or in a lot you'll have to pay. When I've been there it is…

gone downhill by hage0269 via Citysearch on 1/29/2009

The food is still delicious here; however, it is sllllooooowwwww, SO slow! Also, the service has definitely gone downhill. When the food is taking that long, the service needs to be top notch. I did not see my server for a long time. Then…

Delicious Food and Friendly Service by beckytracy via Citysearch on 10/24/2008

Eli's is a wonderful neighborhood bar and restaurant. It is casual and reasonably priced, while the food is always fresh and delicious. They have both basic fare and some interesting items. My husband's favorite is the beef sandwich, it…

Good Food - Poor Service by dj0501975 via Citysearch on 4/23/2008

I have been to Elis several times over the past two years. Overall, I have always enjoyed the food there. Their sloppy joes and hamburgers are very good. However, I have been disappointed on a few occasions by the poor service: order…

Check it out!!! by pubjunkie via Citysearch on 2/28/2008

The food at Eli's is always amazing and I enjoy the new specials that come out every week; it really helps to add variety to an already awesome menu. The service has always been exceptional and unlike the previous poster I recommend it any…

Avoid Monday Nights by LoringNeighbor via Citysearch on 2/4/2008

Food is always good. Service depends on the night. Avoid Mondays. Need to recruit staff who understand and know how to relate to neighborhood regulars.

Great food, great prices by Stacy S via Insider Pages on 1/13/2008

This quaint little bar in downtown Minneapolis never disappoints. The prices are great, staff is friendly, and bartenders generous! I wouldn't hesitate to head here for a date night with my husband or a girls night out. It's a tight space…

Just love this place! Great food! great service! by secretcritic via Citysearch on 12/3/2007

This place is awesome and a must go to in my opinion. These type of places are hard to find - nice, quaint pub with great food and great service. I had a pizza to die for. It's cozy, fun place to catch up with someone over drinks and apps.…

Love Eli's!! by madison5473 via Citysearch on 11/8/2007

This is hands down one of my favorite bars in the Minneapolis area. The servers are friendly and quick and it is definitley one of those places "where everyone knows your name." The food is tasty and the ambiance is cozy. One reviewer…

Go Here! by lizamarienyc via Citysearch on 7/15/2007

A friend and I tried Eli's on the recommendation of a co-worker. Boy, we were pleasantly surprised. He desribed it as a 'local watering hole.' We thought - in Downtown Mpls - no way. We were wrong. Not only was one of the co-owners…

Surprisingly good gourmet grub melds seamlessly with jazzed-up bar food at this cozy neighborhood fave. by Contributor via Citysearch on 11/3/2006

In Short
A ketchup-hued bar area and mustard-colored walls are the perfect backdrop for this neighborhood joint--popular for its three varieties of toppings-heavy hot dogs. But it's not just the bar food that draws the young…

Extraordinary! Yes, people, it is a BAR... by aaronmf via Citysearch on 10/24/2006

This place has exceptional food at a very reasonable price and the fact that they serve VERY late is a huge bonus. It also has great ambiance but it is a bar so if you need to feel like you're eating in a swanky, ultra-pristine place the…

Great Food at Excellent Prices by foodiefreakazoid via Citysearch on 9/7/2006

With weekly specials and the regular menu they have just about anything for anyone. The filet on the menu with a truffled mushroom ragout and horsradish mashed potatoes is only $22, better than any 8oz filet I have at any of the three…

Pleasant surprise! by c197933 via Citysearch on 1/8/2006

Looking for good food at a decent price in a relaxed atmosphere, Eli's is the place to go to (or one of them.) I read the reviews on citysearch and do not agree with the negative ones IN THE SLIGHTEST. While the ambiance is typical of an…
