***** Ellie’s 50’s Style Diner.

Recent e-mail from reader Linda James.

Jeff,

We are recent transplants from Princeton, New Jersey. My husband and I both recently retired and moved to be near our grown kids in Delray Beach. We both love diners and from reading Jeff Eats you seem to see things as we do. What do you suggest in Delray Beach/Boynton Beach area? We wouldn’t mind retro 50s-60s style.
Thank you very much,
Linda James

Jeff Eats got the perfect breakfast/lunch/dinner-diner for you guys…Ellie’s 50’s Style Diner in Boynton Beach.

Good solid food- served up in a retro 50’s-60’s decked-out joint!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “do” Ellie’s something like every 6-7 weeks!

Ellie’s 50’s Style Diner (Delray Beach)
Posted on July 15th, 2008 · American Breakfast Delray Beach

***** Ellie’s 50’s Style Diner, 2410 North Federal Highway, Delray Beach, Florida 33483 (561) 276-1570.

Ellie’s name says it all…a 1950’s diner. It’s not a real 1950’s relic, but when you are inside you’ll really enjoy the fountain-counter, booth seating, formica tables, juke box and black and white checkerboard floor…not to mention a full diner menu that is loaded with appetizers, soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, meat-fish-chicken entrees…there also plenty of ice cream, pies and cakes.

Ellie’s food is DINER FOOD…This is not a gourmet restaurant. Over the years, I have eaten at Ellie’s something like 10 times. Great place for a greasy burger (meant as a compliment) and french fries…tuna fish on rye toast…meatloaf…hopefully you get the picture.

Take a look at Ellie’s website at www.elliescatering.com for menu/pricing/and a virtual tour of the joint.

By the way, attached to the “diner” is a full catering facility…I have been to two catered affairs, one was a 1950’s themed 50th birthday party for 100 and the other was a wedding for something like 150 and both parties were sensational.

Ellie’s does breakfast, lunch and dinner…Sunday-Thursday 8am-9pm and Friday-Saturday 8am-10pm.

If you wear saddle shoes you will look real stupid…but tee shirt/shorts will be just fine
