Ellie's Diner Inside The Depot At Gibson Mill

There is a wide variety of delicious options to choose from at this restaurant! I recommend trying the mango chicken, the arepas, the Cuban, or any other dish on the menu - you can't go wrong!

After spending a few hours antiquing, my wife and I were feeling hungry and were delighted to discover a place to eat at the depot in Gibson Mill. My wife decided to order an Italian combo panini with a side of coleslaw. She enjoyed it immensely, even the coleslaw. It was unlike any coleslaw she had ever tasted before. She mentioned it was the best she ever had. I noticed there was Venezuelan cuisine on the menu and when I saw the Venezuelan flag in the kitchen, I knew I had to try it. I ordered tequeños to share, which are cheese sticks that are fried and served with a delicious dipping sauce. They were fantastic! For my main course, I had arepas with shredded chicken. It was truly remarkable, perhaps the best thing I have ever eaten. The flavors were out of this world. I had read that arepas are the quintessential street food in Venezuela, so now I am on the lookout for food trucks serving Venezuelan cuisine in the Raleigh area. I am already planning my next visit to the depot with Ellie's Diner, with antiquing as a close second priority!

The food and service at this restaurant are excellent, making it a must-stop in Concord (Charlotte), North Carolina.

You can spend days here and still don't see everything! Guess are fucked in every corner and in every crack. my only wish is that we have lived closer to it or that we have brought a big trailer. haha. we ate at the little esserei and it was also amazing!

Love this place and love the homemade quality of the food. You know what you're eating. Never had anything here that wasn't great and yes the staff is very friendly. This is not your everyday sandwich shop inside an antique mall. All the food is prepared to order, simple and delicious.
