Husband and I tried Elis today. Service was fast and the waitress was great! Food was meh. The bacon didnt taste like bacon. I asked for scrambled eggs and got an omelet- was burnt. Husband got over easy eggs but they were over cooked with hard yolks. The place wasn't busy but it is a Friday morning.
Unfortunately I don't think this place would be our first pick again.

Neat spot for lunch! I had the corned beef on rye with fries and gravy. Food arrived fast and hot. Could tell it was made to order. Sandwich was good, but small. Plenty of fries, but could tell they were frozen. Gravy had good flavour but was lumpy and thick. Overall good experience. Specials were intriguing, but just not what I was after today. I’ll be back for lunch when I’m in town again.

I finally sat down in my lucky Pork Chop Chair and behold, Sunday Serving Special of Schinkel’s Gourmet Meats’ Smoked Pork Chop was back for another great culinary experience. See long awaited picture below!
Plus new pix of the Best Corned Beef Hash served in Chatham-Kent...!
Eli’s Trackside Restaurant has had the good fortune of being one of two restaurants in Chatham located alongside the Canadian Pacific Railway!
After going to church, my wife and I sat down for a homemade style meal at the 41-year-old breakfast/lunch service provider on Queen Street. Again, I ordered the Sunday Special - Schinkel’s 7-ounce Smoked Pork Chop featuring two Sunnyside-up eggs, home fries with an upgrade for Gluten-Free Toast and coffee. Avec Pièce de Résistance condiment: Frank’s Hot Sauce.
When our waitress delivered my plate, the Schinkel’s Gourmet Meats’ Smoked Pork Chop blew my mind! I can’t imagine it was really only 7-ounces, it must have been at least 9-Ounces!
So why didn’t I take a picture of the first serving……Pure Greed on my part…. I just couldn’t help but dive right into the beautifully grilled delicacy.
As we left the restaurant, ringing in my head was the owner’s reply to my selfish inquiry about how frequently does the Schinkel’s Smoked Pork Chop appear as a Special….. About a Couple Times a Month…. A Couple Times a Month….couple times….
I’ll be back…. be back….back!

Servive was fantastic !!!Good food and great service !!!! Great job Ladies .. I will definitely be back
I have been eating breakfast for 46 years and I can’t recommend a better stop for a quality and affordable family breakfast. The meats were locally sourced and delicious, the atmosphere is everything we wanted and more. Will come back for sure next time in town.

A hidden gem we found back in the day when living in Chatham, we now make annual trips to go eat breakfast there. Sad they took the waffles off the menu though
