"Best malts, shakes anywhere. We were in town over the weekend and did not have time to enjoy a meal at Elliston Place, but we did have time to get a chocolate malt -- for me -- to go. Hadn't been to Elliston Place in quite some time. Completely different staff of course. Younger. I went ahead and ordered my malt at a cost of around $5.50, including tax. I wrote in another review that I would never get a malt that cost $5, but in the case of Elliston Place, we'll make an exception! Young girl around 20 years old started to make my malt. One thing I can't stand is when people make chocolate shakes with chocolate ice cream. So I just wanted to make sure she was going to make it properly: vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, milk, malt powder. She said, "I know how to make a chocolate malt." OK, fine. I watched her assemble it just the way you are supposed to. A chemist could not have assembled more correct proportions of each ingredient. I have chocolate malts everywhere, but this one is the best I've ever had. It was thick all the way to the bottom of the large cup. Worth every cent. -----30 Oct, 2010----- One of my favorites anywhere. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. As another reviewer said, the milkshakes are the star here. They are great, made with Nashville's Purity ice cream. However, I think the food is very good, too. Classic diner burger. I've tried the veggies and they are quite good. The atmosphere is just about without equal."

"I would consider this a step above fast food as far as quality and service. I ordered online and when I arrived 20 minutes later, they were still working on my order and I had to wait an additional 15 minutes, but I can’t be upset with them because not only was the lobby busy when I arrived, their drive through was literally spilling out of their lot and into the street. They were very friendly even though it looked as though they were in the midst of the mother of all rushes. I came back a few weeks later and got the same order- jalapeño pepper jack grilled cheese, fries, and mozzarella sticks. They were far less busy at this time, service was still friendly and waited far less time for my food. Both times my food was the same. The sandwich was excellent along with my mozzarella sticks. Unfortunately my fries left a lot to be desired. They were cooked well and had good texture and perfect golden brown color, but they had no seasoning at all. Overall, this is one of my go to spots when I’m in town and I know I will return time and time again. Vegetarian options: A majority of their sides are meatless, they do have grilled cheese options, both very good, and needless to say all ice cream and shakes are vegetarian friendly. Parking: There was plenty of parking both times I went here. Regardless of how busy they were, I did not struggle to find a spot. Kid-friendliness: They have a separate kids menu."
