Stopped by Eli’s on Whitney on Saturday with my family in between basketball games, looking for a quick but satisfying lunch, and it definitely delivered. We started with the buffalo wings and the pulled pork nachos. The nachos were fantastic and honestly the highlight of the meal. The cheese sauce was really good, and what stood out most was how well they were layered. Every single chip had something on it, which is not always the case with nachos, and it made a big difference. If I had to nitpick, I’d say a little more meat would have been nice, but overall they were delicious and a great portion for the price. The wings were solid with good flavor and cooked well, though they didn’t completely blow me away. Still enjoyable. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and thought it was

We ended up at Eli's by chance. We showed up to Quinnipiac University too early, as our niece was 45 minutes behind us, so the cop on campus recommended it and so we went there and very much enjoyed a couple of appetizers including the Adobe chicken flatbread and the potstickers. Because she and her mom were arriving late we asked them if they wanted us to grab some dessert and OMG we got the carrot cake and the chocolate cake and the peanut butter pie to go and to say that they were large portions is a complete understatement! we were blown away by the size and she had the best first night of her junior year ever!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We have been here twice in the past month; once with friends and once just my husband and myself. Both times were excellent. The food and drinks were amazing, the staff were so friendly and professional and the atmosphere was great. The prices are very reasonable also. This is one of our new favorites. Thank you for a good experience.

Large bar area. Better prices. Minimal parking. Clam chowder was original. Not great but very good. Apps and drinks seem to be your best bet here.

Had a company party. The lot was full, and from what I could see, pretty small. A lot of us just parked on the street or in another nearby lot. Inside, we were directed to.a downstairs room. The room was a decent size for our party. We had maybe 8 tables with seating for 8 people each. There was warm basket of bread and softened butter. We had a bartender that my boss was convinced had an attitude with him! I don't know...it was ki da weird, but he was nice enough to go search for a prosecco for me! The food.was buffet style. We had eggplant parm, stuffs fish, chicken parm, potatoes ,veggies, salad with a delicious creamy balsamic dressing that I wanted to pick the bowl, and some other stuff i don't remember. Dessert was a flacky apple tart. There was also a coffee bar. The staff was fri
