Ellie's Hut in Ukiah is consistently fantastic! I always go for the chicken and brown rice with yogurt…it’s a perfect combination of flavors and always hits the spot. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a pleasure. The menu offers a great variety, catering to different tastes, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend checking it out!

Ellie's Mutt Hut is just a couple of blocks ahead.. he tells me, then he says.. we'll stop there and get the BBQ chicken...it's the best between SF and Garberville. Well, I was getting fuel in Eureka and this bubblehead asked me for a ride to Ukiah, said his mom's in the hospital there and needs him to take care of her dogs. So, I patted him down for drugs and weapons..he was clean, so I said okay, but watch your step or I'll end it for you right then and there, as I showed him Lil Thumper. We pulled into Ukiah and this Brain Surgeon wouldn't shut up about the chicken from Ellie's...this and that, and every which way but Sunday about that chicken. He already told me he didn't have any money, so I bought him that chicken...he was right, probably for the first time in his life..that chicken was Amazing!

Such a cute little place. They have amazing food. My favorites are Chicken & Brown Rice, Chicken Linguine and my all time favorite is their Butternut Squash Soup. The soup is one of a kind, it has very strong pepper warm sensation but is also kinda sweet. I've bought the same soup else where and it's never the same and is trash compared to Ellies. The employees are always kind, it's very clean and a great atmosphere. Oh yes also their blackberry and peach cobblers are amazing as well.

Best tofu I've ever had, I can't stop eating it, it's a real problem! Staff are always a delight, food is always great. Their coffee drinks are good, too! My go-to spot when I am visiting my sister in town

For those of you who are EMH virgins, know this: there is no better all-around home cooking spot for breakfast & lunch for 50 miles along Highway 101 between Cloverdale and Willits.Ellie’s is super well-staffed, which means customers are greeted, helped, and served in record time. Plenty of comfort food (sausage patties, flapjacks) healthy food (tofu scramble, avocado toast) for breakfast, ditto for lunch.Outdoor shaded patio dining means there’s space for well-behaved dogs. N the bathrooms are ADA accessible and clean.This is a big-time locals hangout, and the prices reflect both the region (reasonable plate prices) yet are not cheap (coffee is 3.50 , fresh-squeezed OJ is 8.50). But the coffee is refillable — we were given a thermos — and the OJ was fabulous.

The vegetarian restaurant for both vegetarians and meat eaters! My wife and I stopped in on a whim and we were very pleasantly surprised about the food. The menu what is simple straightforward. We really enjoyed the big spud. The tofu was surprisingly good. The spices really made the dish. My wife had extra vegetables on hers and the grain was really well cooked. We also had the tortilla soup and the broccoli soup which was very tasty. To finish it all off I ordered the blackberry milkshake which had real blackberries in it. All in all a very enjoyable and affordable meal. I would highly suggest going if you are in Ukiah.

This place is insanely good and fantastic service. The menu is extensive but it was all simply delicious. We went for lunch at the last minute. Very casual but so enjoyable. We had chorizo tacos, avo chicken salad and one of their special recipe Johnny cakes for something sweet at the end. Very reasonable priced and generous portions. For good American and Mexican food with a casual but authentic vibe, look no further. Catalina was our server and she gets a 10/10. We loved it!
