A pleasant and clean hotdog stand with a beach vibe. I had the best chilli-dog I have eaten in a long time! The milkshakes are fabulous!

Ellie's Hot Dogs & Ice Cream is a neighborhood gem known for delicious, high-quality, classic American food. The banana pudding shake remains a must-try, and the owner's personal touch enhances the overall great service. With reasonable prices and awesome hot dogs, including the highly recommended steak and cheese dog, Ellie's is a definite choice for a satisfying meal.
While the veggie dogs are appreciated for providing options, some customers found them to be a bit rubbery and suggested cooking them on the flat top for better flavor. The mac n cheese has received mixed reviews, with some feeling it lacked cheesy satisfaction. Additionally, there have been times when pickles were unavailable, which disappointed some guests.
The gigantic ice cream portions are a highlight, and although some customers have experienced issues with bees while dining outside, this has not deterred their enjoyment of the food. Overall, Ellie's offers simple, grilled hot dogs, toasted buns, and ice cream, creating a casual and enjoyable dining experience. Parking is shared with the restaurant, which has generally been convenient for visitors. With a kid-friendly menu featuring hot dogs, chips, and ice cream, Ellie's continues to be a beloved spot in the community.
