Eli's East Food & Cocktails

Amazing and surprising, as the food exceeds the expectations from a decor that is relaxing but a bit dated. Terrific flavors, check out the weekly specials , and...the pineapple foster--killer!!!

Banana Cream Pie : white chocolate baked into the crust and topped with sugar-covered banana slices that are torched like creme brulée . $6. Pair it with a Boom Island Hoodoo.

Started with a awesome Maker's Mark Manhattan . Ordered the beef tenderloin with the crab cake on top and a glass of house Malbec

Burnt eggs bee is great good service good beer selection food is a matter if presence all other food on table great

Voted top ten chicken wings ! The house wings are a rosy molasses color, dipped in sticky, sweet honey soy glaze with a Sriracha-spiked mayonnaise for dipping .

Be sure to try their Black and Blue Burger (with Black River blue cheese and caramelized onions ) and their cocktails containing house-made syrups and cellos. Read more

Bar stools near door are a cold place to sit. Tried the Spicy Humpty Dumpty Burger , simply an amazing and perfectly done burger .

Specials menu changes every Thursday evening. Check the specials first, then go for an item in their deep menu.

Voted top 10 mac and cheese dishes! Fat tubes of penne are ensconced in a white cheddar sauce and coated with a spot-on and crispy crust.

Really good beers and cocktails , great menu. Excellent neighborhood joint.

The Walleye Po'boy ain't shabby. Don't forget the local beer .

Pork belly sliders are awesome! Sweet, spicy , crispy , delicious! For a bigger party, get two orders! They will go fast!

My chipotle shredded beef hoagie was amazing and service was spot on! Nice atmosphere too.

Their menu is overall great, BUT they have a weekly specials menu with dishes that will always rock your world.

Pretty decent cocktails right in Northeast. Sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders to get the fun stuff.

Friendly servers and excellent sandwiches . If you are a vegetarian , do NOT attempt to order the cauliflower . It really is as boring as it sounds. Learn from our mistake. Stick to sandwiches .

Voted City Pages top ten late-night restaurants ! It's a nice way to ease into the night. Food is served until 1am nightly.

Pork belly sliders , anything on the specials menu.... Best salads in the area!

Ask Richy to make you a cocktail off the menu . He's very good... Layers of flavor... Don't bring your own ice though.

Best old fashioned in town , especially when Richie makes it . Commenter Matt M. has no idea what he's talking about.

Awesome patio , though the crowd seemed older, or college aged, bringing their older parents with.

Get the Chipotle Cheese Steak , great twist on an old favorite

WOW, their Mac & Cheese is not from this world! You will only taste it here or when you pass on, your choice!

Banana cream pie , has bits of white chocolate in the crust - Amazing!

Tots . Always get the tots .

How did the hipster burn the roof of his mouth? He ate the MAC N Cheese before it was cool.

Desert is fantastic and the staff is very kind!

Ok we sat down, saw I was with my husband, girl kept flirting with him, second girl came we asked for ticket and the bitch asked if we wanted it on separate tickets, umm no! ❌

Ashley also great. Save yourself the awkward convo asking if the server is "Mary".

Taco salad=tiny plop of iceberg lettuce + tsp of beef . BOO

Like olives ? Try Eli's Eastside Martini with olive-infused vodka .

The pulled pork taco appetizer is amazing.

Since you're here don't bother with the banana cream pie . Even on your birthday.

Charles is an outstanding server!
