Don't get us wrong... we love the fact that we are busy. But just like you, we hate waiting in line for anything, much less for eggs.
​
Now you can avoid the hassle of rushing to get to the restaurant just to put your name on the list and then just sit there waiting for your name to be called. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
​
Get in line before you even get dressed by clicking the Waitlist! You'll be able to track your place in line, let us know if your plans change or if you'll be late, or just watch the fun from the parking lot. We love it, and so will you!
​
We are now accepting applications to work at our new restaurant in Allen, Texas!

We celebrate the
GREAT AMERICAN BRUNCH
all day every day.
BRUNCH IS RIGHT, DAY OR NIGHT
At Ellen's, brunch is all we do. We know that brunch is no longer just for the weekend. It's everyone's favorite meal, so why not celebrate it every day? In fact, any time of day is a good time for brunch, so we serve it day and night.
​
We started Ellen's in 2012 with one simple idea: build a restaurant that we would want to go to.
That means traditional, made-from-scratch Southern recipes, using only the freshest meats and vegetables, and giving service with true Southern hospitality. That also means serving brunch all the time.
​
Because remember, no matter what time it is where you are, IT'S BRUNCH O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE!

The most frequent question we are asked is WHO IS THIS ELLEN PERSON?
Ellen is the mother of Joe Groves, one of our co-founders, and the restaurant was named in her honor.
While Ellen isn't personally involved in the business, she is a very important part of our family and she lives up to her role as our namesake inspiration.
When you are at Ellen's house, everyone is family. Quite simply, there are no strangers. Here at the restaurant, we try every day to live up to her legendary hospitality and welcoming spirit.
L-R: Co-founder Joe Groves, Ellen Groves Corlee (Joe's mom), and Co-founder Chef Russell Mertz
