    We were dining at 5pm and owned the place. Our server Jess was very good and the ambiance was charming, like a backyard heheh. The entrees were yummy and filled us up. I do love a BYOB spot.

    We really enjoy Ellli’s Backyard. Food is good, especially the cauliflower appetizer! Servers are so nice! The fact that it is a byob makes a meal out very affordable.

    The appetizers were amazing I would highly suggest the fried cauliflower and firecracker shrimp. The cheese bread wasn’t what we expected and didn’t meet our expectations.

    It was my first time going to the restaurant from the moment I walked in. I thought it was an extremely cute place. We sat down ordered. Food was really good. The coffee flight was incredible. Highly recommend going again.
