Rarely do I choose a "chain" restaurant unless it's Elephants Deli. Everything they make is incredibly delicious, better than you could attempt to make at home and my friends consider me a super good cook! No matter which location I visit, I'm guaranteed scrumptious food exactly how I remember it whether it's one of their hot food items, deli prepared foods, soup, a salad or a sandwich. And then there are the desserts! Oh, my, they are hard to resist.
After being away for a week and having no fresh food in my house, I was craving a good salad, something simple yet delicious after Thanksgiving weekend when we all get more than enough of sides! Passing my usual choice of a Jambon Beurre, I went for the Cesar salad of cold crunchy Romain lettuce with chunks of grilled chicken, sliced hard boiled egg, croutons, Parmesan cheese and dressing. It was simple perfection. Also splurged, calorie wise, on the cheese breadstick; divine and addictive.
Elephants has homemade hot and grilled items, even during Covid. Their chicken enchiladas are incredible; grab a tray of frozen lasagna, perfect to feed your family; the Mac & cheese is legendary; lots of homemade soup options; and so much more.
For desert I highly recommend the ding dong cake, a small cake for two (ok, maybe one!) that is a decadent version of this children's treat. Dark chocolate cake with cream inside enrobed in dark chocolate ganache. Heaven.
Cookies, candies and other treats piled on displays that are both gorgeous and create spontaneous purchases. They know what they are doing!
During Covid they are taking all precautions. You can go to their website and preorder for easy pick up or stop in. Highly recommend!
