We were at Sandy Hook for the day and we wanted to find another restaurant in the area to try and this one popped up. We have never been to the town but when we got here we knew we would come back since there are a lot of restaurants that looked amazing. But let’s get right back to Elli’s…she did not disappoint! From the moment we walked across the street and to our outside table the ambiance set the tone for the night. The food was amazing and the portions were finally big enough to match the price. I got the smokehouse bbq burger and when they come out with it covered just to take the lid off so that you could see the smoke! Unfortunately I didn’t have my phone ready to capture that but that was a nice surprise! My wife got one of the daily specials which was shrimp, chicken and steak skewers over a bed of rice. In her words, she was so thankful for the recommendation by our waitress. It was so tasty and juicy! My daughter got the pulled chicken sandwich and that was huge and very delicious according to her. We will definitely be back to this restaurant!

I’ve been to Elli’s Backyard quite a few times now, and every single visit has been amazing. I always try something new alongside my go-to — the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap — because it’s absolutely DIVINE. The Caesar dressing is incredibly fresh (I haven’t asked, but I swear it has to be homemade!).
Here’s what we tried this time:
Corn Nuggets – 9/10
Exactly what you’d want from a corn nugget! Fried to perfection with a soft, flavorful inside. The maple syrup on the side added a really nice sweet-savory balance.
Penne Vodka – 8/10
One of the better penne vodka dishes I’ve had in a while. The flavor was spot on! I would have loved just a bit more sauce, but overall, delicious.
Onion Rings – 10/10
PERFECTION. The batter was crispy, and the onion wasn’t too thick or chewy like some places. These are easily the best I’ve had and are now going into my regular order.
Mango Lemonade – 9/10
Super refreshing and not overly sweet. A great drink to pair with any meal.

Elli’s Backyard is a hidden gem in Red Bank! ✨ The atmosphere is so charming and whimsical, with all the greenery and fairy lights making you feel like you’re in a magical garden. The food is incredible, and the presentation is top-notch—the pineapple bowl is a must-try! The service was fantastic and our meal was truly a delight. We can’t wait to go back!

I came here on a very cold Sunday morning. There were only a few other people there. I chose just to get two eggs and the fruit cup. My son and daughter-in-law chose from the larger selections.
Even though the restaurant was sparsely attended, service was very slow. My eggs over easy had some raw whites and were stone cold. The fruit cup was very good with a good variety including blueberries, apples and pineapple.
My daughter-in-law enjoyed her eggs Benedict but said the accompanying potatoes had good flavor but weren’t crispy enough. My son also had those potatoes and agreed with her. Both said the eggs weren’t cooked as they’d specified but had good flavor and weren’t cold. The high point was the pancakes which came with my son’s meal and they both said they were worth coming back for. If I ever return that’s what I’ll order.
I guess my main complaint was that I never had an opportunity to get my eggs warmed up. The waiter stopped by to ask how everything was but he stood directly behind me and after my son replied he scurried off before I could say a word. The menu has many attractive choices and I think the restaurant is worth checking out.

I’ve been here 4 times and I’m never disappointed. Went this time for my daughter’s Birthday and the had a Birthday Sign for her and free dessert . Thank you for making this special for her.

I don’t recall ever wanting to try a restaurant after reading the owner’s comment on a negative review (which, sadly, appears to have been taken down), but you wouldn’t have that level of snark unless the food and overall experience was very good. TL;DR version…Elli’s was a great choice for breakfast and you can ignore anyone trashing this place for having hipster food.
We typically share a savory and sweet entree and our choices were the Backyard Bomber and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. The former was served open face which was perfect since I don’t know how you could actually eat this as a sandwich, but it did mean that only one of us had the hash brown. A different take on the PEC which was very good. The pancakes were a solid complement with real maple syrup, but the cinnamon roll was a bit dense and chewy…next time I think we will try the red velvet. Overall, the menu is great for families with something for everyone.
My GF had the churro coffee which she enjoyed, but I thought that my latte tasted burnt. Not a big deal, but next time I might just order a regular coffee…YMMV.
We had no problem making a 10:45am reservation Sunday morning and Elli’s was not too busy when we arrived, but it did get busy while we were there and it looks like a lot of regulars with good foot traffic. We are fortunate to have so many solid options in Red Bank and will be adding Elli’s to our rotation.

A Perfect Birthday celebration at Elli’s Backyard!
My daughter’s birthday celebration at Elli’s Backyard was an absolute triumph, and I can’t recommend this spot enough for any special occasion. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptionally well-planned and executed, making my party completely stress-free and truly memorable.
The decor was fantastic. The Ellis Backyard staff had clearly taken great care in setting up our reserved space. The ambiance they created was sophisticated and festive—just what I’d hoped for—and it provided a beautiful backdrop for all our photos.
The food itself was great, and the real showstopper of the evening was the s’mores tray. It was an unexpected, fun, and utterly decadent dessert that had everyone happily toasting marshmallows at the table.
What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. Our dedicated hostess was a rockstar. She was incredibly attentive and available throughout the entire evening, anticipating our needs without being intrusive.
Moreover, the coordination was an absolute breeze. All the planning beforehand was handled with ease and professionalism, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. It’s rare to find a venue where the execution matches the promise, but Elli’s Backyard delivered flawlessly.

Ellie’s Backyard is a great place to eat. I would call it an hidden gem but it’s not. It’s in the middle of downtown. Kristen (Scooby) was an Amazing server, hostess, and busser. She was all over the place but that young lady was communicating the whole time. The food was Delicious, I mean WOW. If ever I’m back in Jersey. I will be back. The atmosphere there was inviting and exotic at the same time lol. I love how the inside of the restaurant was set up. I love this place and you will too. I believe there was another server there who was working her butt off too. Great place and great food.

Elli’s Backyard is a chill casual place to grab a bite to eat. We ate there for dinner and overall had a good experience. The wait staff is beyond lovely, patient and on top of things for a table of eight adults. They equally took great care of another table of eight, half of whom are children. Hospitality is on point, friendly and not over the top.
The menu has a mix of American to Italian to Asian influence so there’s something for everyone. Some items are very very large portion and some are perfectly fine for one person. This applies to apps, salads, mains and desserts. I think there is room for improvement to indicate which items are good for sharing and which ones aren’t. I ended up with an app, entree and dessert that could easily feed two diners. No complaints, it just looked insane in front of me lol.
The bang bang shrimp and mozzarella sticks were the overall favorite on the apps. I had a poke salad which could easily feed four people. Mains ranged from pastas to brown sugar salmon, lasagna special and pineapple bowl. Everything came out hot and fresh, some of the chicken in the mains were a little tough, bit then again that is typical for chicken breast. If you could, get an extra order of the mashed sweet potatoes, sides here are all phenomenal. The desserts were all winners as well. The backyard bomb in particular, over the top and delicious!!! Imagine a chocolate lava cake, nut inside a giant stuffed chocolate chip cookie the size of a softball. I loved that you got to pick your flavor choice of ice cream to go on top. Prices were fair for downtown Red Bank and the dining room large and not crowded which is very much appreciated.
