"Wow! $3.25 for a cup of bitter coffee is a sham. The waiter was rude and unfriendly, and didn’t bother to refill my coffee cup. The silverware and dishes were both soiled with dried food from previous customers. Asked for a veterans discount and informed discounts are only given on Veterans Day, what a scam! The French toast I ordered was barely edible and the strawberries/blueberries were mushy and tasted like they had been microwaved along with the French toast. Avoid this disgusting place if you can."

"This is a phenomenal coffee shop! As soon as I walked in, the master roaster Everett showed me the coffee roaster to explain the different kinds of coffee he had just roasted. He took time to explain the roasting process. Clearly, he is meticulous in his process resulting in some of the best coffee I?ve tasted. His colleague McCartney provided wonderful service as well. The environment is calm and quiet during weekdays, but busier on the weekends as expected. The coffee quality, service and wonderful atmosphere make it a favorite for both Ely locals and tourists alike who appreciate incredible coffee!"

"Stayed here for one night for a work trip and wished I could have stayed longer! All of my coworkers agreed: Room was exceptionally clean (if a little north woods dated) and very comfortable. Food was great tons of easy options. Just remember to make reservations because it gets BUSY. And the service was top notch I just stayed at the 5 star Mandarin Oriental in Jakarta for my honeymoon and I told my husband that I felt more welcomed at the Grand Ely. I’m already looking for dates for when I can bring the family up for a few days."

"I visited this restaurant last weekend, and I must say the food was extremely disappointing. I ordered a hot dog, and it was gray; the first bite tasted just like an Oscar Meyer hot dog. Overall, I was really let down. When it was still Rockwood, the food was fantastic, but now, I can't recommend it to anyone looking for a place to eat in Ely. Do yourself a favor and steer clear!"

"After spending 4 days in the Boundary Waters canoeing and camping, and eating dehydrated foods, I asked the outfitter where there was real food in Ely, because we were dying for some. All employees at the outfitter suggested Stony Ridge for epic burgers. So off we went. The restaurant is a very unassuming place. On the outside, it looks like a tiny diner, but on the inside, it is all hardwood, floors, walls, and ceiling, with a huge amount of seating area both inside and out. Our waitress was super friendly and happy. The menu amazed me though. There were 50 different burger options. Fifty! And there were 2 pages of other non-burger menu items. I was literally amazed at the choices. It took us all a long time to order because we wanted to read through every single burger option. (and it seemed that since we were at a known burger establishment, we should all order burgers) And I've been on this kick lately trying cheese curds almost everywhere they are offered, so we ordered those as well. They also had an extensive alcoholic drink menu, which after a week of camping, I wanted to try every single one of them.... but settled for ice tea instead. The burgers that came out were really good. They weren't epic though, which was sad considering how expensive they were. My entire family really liked their burgers, but all agreed they had had better elsewhere. The cheese curds were ok (I don't think I have had cheese curds anywhere yet that have impressed me) In general, we had a great experience and one would think that I would have given them a 5-star review. But there were a couple negatives that I just couldn't get over, to give them a top rating. The cost of each burger was around $20. That is a LOT for a 1/4lb burger. Also, and though I like dogs, there were two large breed dogs freely entering the establishment, and roaming around. This didn't really bother me at all, until one of them stood by my table, begging for expensive food."
