Emilees

Emilees is a casual diner serving basic breakfast (all day) and lunch fare, which is located in the former Blue Star Café on Chrisler Avenue next to the Hamburg Street overpass. Also, connected next door, there is Emilees House of Ice Cream (former Kristel’s Ice Cream), a seasonal ice cream stand with outside takeout windows serving Perry’s Ice Cream.
The open dining room has stool seating at the counter, booths along the front windows, and table seating. The breakfast offerings include eggs, 3-​egg omelets, pancakes, French toast, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, biscuits & gravy (Sat only), and breakfast sides. The lunch offerings include deli style sandwiches, grilled sandwiches, wraps, burgers, fried goodies, salads, and sides. Most items priced $ 4.00-$ 8.75.
I stopped in here for lunch and sat myself at an open booth. The waitress was prompt in giving me a menu and reciting the specials including a Western Burger with Fries & Soft Drink or Coffee for $ 7.25. I started out with an ice water served in a glass jar. It took me a few moments to decide, but I went my a Turkey Deli Sandwich ($ 7.25) on toasted rye, Swiss cheese, Pa’s way (with lettuce, tomato, onion n mayo) served with fries. While I was waiting, I played the peg game on the table and watched the food being cooked in the partially open kitchen area behind the counter. When the frozen fries hit the extremely hot oil in the deep fryer, it was a loud SIZZZZLE time! The food was served in about 10 minutes.
The turkey sandwich was very basic and decent, served cold. The thin rye toast was crisp sandwiched with crisp lettuce, tomato slices, raw onion slices, Swiss cheese slice, and 5 deli slices of turkey, but there was no mayo in this sandwich? The modest portion of fries were deep fried golden, hot and crispy, and not salted, very good. The check was left at my table as I finished up, $ 7.83 total with tax. The service was prompt and pleasant. The staff thanked me for stopping in for lunch.
