Each time I have gone to the new location there has been a problem with the food. The first visit the cabbage was god tasting awful, it was soggy and not seasoned. The second time the fish platter I ordered was tasteless and the skin on the fish was damp and rubbery also under seasoned. You will think people of african american descent will no how to prepare soul food dishes. The only thing that taste half way decent was the mac and cheese, but even this was a bit stiff. Its Friday...read full review

I went there for the first time today. I ordered a barbecue sandwich and it tasted just like Eastern NC barbecue. I will definitely be going back again. The sandwich was delicious.

Just went to get some food from Ella's and boy was I disappointed.... The 1st time I went there the food was sooooo good. The second time I got the pork chop dinner. The chops were dry and hard. This last time, and it will be my last time, the meat loaf was hard, it tasted terrible and my order was missing sides I ordered. The people are really nice but, it seems the more busy they get, the quality of the food is just not good. What happened?
