I find the $24.95 prime rib at Primarily Prime at Southpoint to be better than Ellis. Same price & very good with a much nicer restaurant setting. Comes with soup/salad & potato.
The $9.99 steak at Ellis is getting tougher.
Found $9.99 strip steak with eggs at the Village Inn in Highland (not sure if this in all their locations) to be very good. It is served 24/7
I found the $4.95 hot dog at the M to be better than the Southpoint $1.50. It is a Nathan's dog, which is a better quality dog & it is grilled, not boiled for a better flavor.
Just my POV
