Eli’s Breakfast & Lunch

Eli’s Trackside Restaurant has had the good fortune of being one of two restaurants in Chatham located alongside the Canadian Pacific Railway! After going to church, my wife and I sat down for a homemade style meal at the 41-year-old breakfast/lunch service provider on Queen Street. I ordered the Sunday Special - Schinkel’s 7-ounce Smoked Pork Chop featuring two Sunnyside-up eggs, home fries with an upgrade for Gluten-Free Toast and coffee. Avec Pièce de Résistance condiment: Frank’s Hot Sauce. When our waitress delivered my plate, the Schinkel’s Gourmet Meats’ Smoked Pork Chop blew my mind! I can’t imagine it was really only 7-ounces, it must have been at least 9-Ounces! So why didn’t I take a picture of it……Pure Greed on my part…. I just couldn’t help but dive right into the beautifully grilled delicacy. {Please see the attached portion of stock-photo, depicting its former uncooked visage!} As we left the restaurant, ringing in my head was the owner’s reply to my selfish inquiry about how frequently does the Schinkel’s Smoked Pork Chop appear as a Special….. About a Couple Times a Month…. A Couple Times a Month….couple times…. I’ll be back…. be back….back!

This was terrible. They don't understand gluten free as they put my gluten free toast with regular toast. Food was warm only and waitress was rude. I am now having g difficulties due to them serving me gluten. Will not recommend to anyone.
