nctry	02/20/2017 04:57PM Brittons is a no brainer. Opens early and good food and now coffee. And your on the water in good time. Never had to wait. I'm an omelette guy there... I generally don't eat a lot on my way there... 100 miles... and find it a good tradition. But some trips I'll forgo even that if I want to beat a windy day. But when I do, I find myself pulling over and eating not too far down the pike anyway. Ely steak house is good too on the way out. But quicker to just do dairy Queen for me. Two hours and I'm home anyway.
jamotrade	02/20/2017 02:09PM Brittons and Ely Steakhouse.
mr.barley	02/20/2017 01:59PM We usually pick up something we can eat on our way to the entry point for breakfast. Upon exit I will eat just about anywhere that serves decent beer.
MNLindsey80	02/20/2017 10:29AM quote Trapper7: "Stuffed hashbrowns at Brittons." +1 for sure. Never had to wait.
ducks	02/20/2017 10:25AM quote cowdoc: "So......how long is the line at Britons if everybody goes there??" :) actually I've never eaten there in the morning before a trip so I've never been there at 5:00am. I'm in the eat something light on the way to the e.p. crowd. I have eaten there when we've been in Ely other times and when I've exited the bwca in the morning and wanted a big breakfast before driving home. The food is very good!
billconner	02/20/2017 07:38AM I liked taste of Ely the couple of times I ate there but they now don't open till 7:00 and close at 3:00 - not real paddler friendly hours.

bwcadan	02/20/2017 06:43AM Always had seating between 5:00 and 5:45 when I have been there.
BigCurrent	02/20/2017 12:29AM Taste of Ely is good and quick. Not sure how early they open though. We generally opt for grab and go breakfast to eat on the drive to the EP. A big meal of greasy spoon breakfast like Britton's makes for a sluggish travel day,
Trapper7	02/20/2017 12:01AM Oh another thing that I just found out not so long ago is that the Ely Grand Lodge serves the panini sandwiches that the old Northern Grounds shop used to sell. Get one of them with their wild ride soup. You won't regret it.
Grandma L	02/19/2017 10:24PM Breakfast in the car on the way to the landing. - got to get going early you know. I have trouble with the Steak House - too much musty old smoke smell - they need to remodel. Try Insula or Stony Ridge. the Boat House was great the last time we were there with craft beers and good food.
cowdoc	02/19/2017 08:24PM So......how long is the line at Britons if everybody goes there??
overthehill	02/19/2017 05:30PM I agree. Britons early breakfast. Ely Steakhouse and Sir G's Italian and pizza.
billconner	02/19/2017 03:34PM Kind of an overwhelming poll on Britons for breakfast. Steakhouse is a good dinner choice but there are others. I've enjoyed Insula, Chocolate Moose, Rockwood, Boathouse, and SirGs. But if only one non-breakfast meal in Ely, just about has to be Ely Steakhouse.
ducks	02/19/2017 10:58AM I'm another one that vote's Brittons and Ely Steak House.
HappyHuskies	02/19/2017 10:57AM Britton's for breakfast for sure. I agree that the Ely Steakhouse is a good reliable choice. I also like Insula if your a little more adventurous or the Boathouse if your thinking more along the line of sandwiches.
DeanL	02/19/2017 10:40AM quote Savage Voyageur: "For breakfast I would suggest Britons, and for a dinner I would say the Ely Steakhouse. " These 2 would get my vote as well. We always get an early breakfast at Britton's and grab burgers at the steakhouse on the way out.
Trapper7	02/19/2017 09:41AM Stuffed hashbrowns at Brittons.
QueticoMike	02/19/2017 08:24AM quote Savage Voyageur: "For breakfast I would suggest Britons, and for a dinner I would say the Ely Steakhouse. " +1

Atb	02/19/2017 08:00AM Britton's is great, be sure to have cash.
bwcadan	02/19/2017 07:20AM Britons opens early: 5:00 AM seasonal hours and allows for a good early departure. You will get large amounts of food and a snack for the AM paddle will not likely be needed if you can eat all you order. They are a block to the right of the main drag more or less just as you enter the business part of town.
pswith5	02/19/2017 07:07AM General consensus has been Britons for breakfast. Many alternatives for lunch or dinner
Jhsail	02/19/2017 06:48AM This might seem off for trip planning , but looking for suggestions on pre launch breakfast in Ely and maybe a good dinner spot on way out heading south or in Ely. Nothing fancy but somewhere to catch a bite.
