I love the food at EllaRay’s Cafe. I go there every week. I usually call my order in and pick it up in 15 or 20 minutes. I prefer the vegetable platter and an extra side of beans. The portions are enough for two meals for me. I love breakfast there also. Glad I discovered them.
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.
highly recommend the food taste like your grandmother's cooking. I got the pig feet
