In this episode of What In East Dallas Is Going On?!, Rich and Camille sit down with Joe Groves, the owner of Ellen’s, one of the most talked-about spots in East Dallas. Known for its classic Southern comfort food and welcoming vibe, Ellen’s recently opened its doors in Casa Linda Plaza, and the neighborhood is already better for it.
But Joe is more than just a restaurant owner. He is a storyteller, a straight shooter, and someone who knows a thing or two about building something that matters. In this episode, we talk about the journey behind Ellen’s, why brunch means more than just pancakes and eggs, and yes, who exactly is Ellen.
Joe shares stories that had us laughing, thinking, and appreciating the roots behind every bite. We dive into the importance of community, hospitality, and staying true to who you are, even in the chaos of the restaurant world.
Whether you’re already a regular or have not made your way over yet, this episode will make you want to pull up a chair, order a plate of biscuits and gravy, and stay a while.
