I got over easy eggs and a strawberry milkshake, they were delicious and I would come again

I’ve been to this restaurant for many many years with my grandfather, a white American, and service was usually fine. But today I came in with my daughter, and the experience was insulting.
The waitress told me to sit wherever, so I did. I sat there for over 15 minutes while my daughter cried for milk, and this waitress walked past me multiple times without a word. Then, a group of four walked in after me and—what do you know—she rushed right over to greet them, showed them their table, and take their order like I was invisible.
I guess my skin color made me less of a paying customer. Maybe I’m just “too Asian” to deserve basic service here.
So, I left. On the way out, I smiled and told the other party “enjoy” because clearly they were worth the waitress’s time.
Here’s the deal: this place is quick to serve when I’m with my white grandfather, but when I’m alone with my daughter, suddenly I don’t exist. That tells me everything I need to know. I won’t be coming back—and I hope this restaurant is proud of showing its true colors.

It's a homey place that feels like an old family-run diner. Because of the informal operation, be prepared for service not to be rushed (yet friendly) and food that's just solid sustinence.

Ordered a fish sandwich with fries and the price was 15.99 also less than 8 oz defintly not worth the price fries were great
I switched from the redwood diner to Ellie Mays . redwood is rude and they mess my order up . also redwood don't answer the phone for takeout anymore . Ellie Mays picks up almost immediately when I call . food is delicious and service is great in and out the door wonderful place to eat .

Ellie May’s Diner is a true gem! I stopped in for breakfast and was seriously impressed. The frittata was absolutely amazing—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made me feel right at home.
The atmosphere is super cute, cozy, and spotless, which really adds to the charm of the place. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by Ellie May’s for a delicious start to your day. I’ll definitely be back!

Our second visit. Our first visit was pretty good, so when we’re in the area we stopped in again. The waitress was rather impatient and not really pleasant. The food just okay. I handed her $40 to pay for an $26 meal and she asked me if I wanted change

The food and service were ok although the home fries were barely warm. The place was freezing and it feels like you're in a basement. The menu is limited
Lovely home town feel.Friendly waitress.
