This is probably the most "family-friendly" establishment on [[StarBase 118 Ops|Starbase 118]]. "Granny" is an aging (unjoined) Trill, named Ellyn Taepar, (67). She often comes out from the back and visits with the guests seated at each of her tables. Everyone from her staff, her guests and even Security on the StarBase calls her "Granny." She has gone out of her way to make families feel welcome at her restaurant. Children are always visited by "Granny," who usually holds them and gets them to laugh. While "Granny" encourages families to come, she has done all she could to discourage rowdy overnight shore-leave types from coming into her restaurant. "Granny's Place" serves no alcohol of any kind. Some say the woman who runs the place is a recovering alcoholic, but, others say she knows the rule keeps most trouble away from her place. The food is simple, but it is from all over the quadrant and served freshly cooked by a competent staff. She has been on the StarBase for over ten years but did not open the restaurant until her husband died a couple years back. There is a rumor that "Granny" fought in the [[ma:Borg|Borg]] wars, but that seems very "out of character." Still, someone did a check and found no record of an Ellyn Taepar on the Trill homeworld. So, whatever her story is, it seems sure that "Granny" is more than just an aging restaurateur.

Granny's Place
Granny's Place is a bright, welcoming family-friendly restaurant on the Promenade of StarBase 118. It has bright geometric decor, open family booths and plenty of room for families of rambunctious youngsters to enjoy a home-cooked meal.

The menu focuses on simple hearty comfort food from the Trill heartlands. Many say that Granny's Place as the best Jaffa cakes and toffa cream pie on the Starbase. There is a daily stew special as well as a variety of fresh baked flatbreads and Trill dishes that are reminiscent of a hearty Terran breakfast all served with Granny's famous sour berry preserves.

Granny's Place is owned and run by Ellyn Taepar, aging unjoined Trill. She often comes out from the back and visits with the guests seated at each of her tables. Everyone from her staff, her guests and even Security on the StarBase calls her "Granny." She has gone out of her way to make families feel welcome at her restaurant. She is especially fond of small children and she keeps a basket of small trinkets and sweets behind the counter. Any child who asks nicely can select a prize from the basket and this had made Granny's Place a major draw with school-aged children!

Granny's Place has been a staple of StarBase 118 for twelve years. It always had the reputation of a place where one could go to escape the rowdy crowds that used to frequent the Commercial Sector.
