I ordered the NC BBQ with greens and cabbage, bread pudding, and a drink. Everything from the customer service to the food is amazing. This place is high traffic but it's worth the wait to order. I received my order in about 5min or so. I will be back!

Excellent and consistent. The cabbage and the yams are my favorites. We ordered all of our favorites for our Christmas dinner this year.

We ordered bbq sandwiches turkey wing dinner catfish dinner pork chop dinner baked chicken dinner and rib sandwich. Everything was Delicious ?. Did not give 5 stars because of the 2 potato salad limit and the bbq did not have the Carolina flavor \"mop\" I was expecting.? Customer service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I placed our order over the phone. While I was cashing out the last item was coming out of the kitchen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good food fast. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Listen... I'm not from around here and I was just looking for some food and came across Ella Ray's. Now at first I was skeptical because when I walked in, it smelled crazy in there, but folks was on line and waiting for their food. So it had to be good right? YA D@MN RIGHT!!! I got the Turkey wing dinner with collard greens and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was seasoned and cheesy, the greens were delicious and the turkey wings were tender. The hot sauce that they use pairs amazingly with the food, especially the greens. I ordered peach cobbler as well but I was so full that I didn't try it yet. I'll update when I do. The folks at the counter were really nice too. I would definitely come again if in the area. If I had any tips it would just be to freshen up the place, maybe it's the carpet. A good steam cleaning of the place would be great. But again, the food was bomb!!

I went to this business today and ordered the fried chicken. I was told that it would take 15 mins . I ended up waiting 35 mins to get my food. Then when I got home I cut open my chicken breast and the meat was pink and watery. I drove all the way back to return my food but instead of apologizing or admitting the food was undercooked the lady working the front argued with me that it was cooked because there was no blood in it. I don't know about y'all but I've been eating and cooking fried chicken all my life and never have I been served fried chicken where the meat was pink: I even asked her does she eat pink chicken meat but she declined to answer that question just repeatedly saying that the chicken had no blood in it. I just basically waisted a hour of my day and I'm still hungry. I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone. I wish I could give 0 stars.

The food is very yummy! We call ahead of time and pick up and it's always hot and fresh. The fried fish is amazing.

So my daughter and I ordered the meatloaf, geeens, macaroni and cheese dinner as well as the fried wings, greens and sweet potatoes. The greens were not good at all, the yams taste like can potatoes with a bunch of syrup. The macaroni and cheese was good. The meatloaf was very dry, no seasoning, no gravy, just bland. I don’t understand how a black owned restaurant can not make fried chicken. Their was absolutely no seasoning on the chicken. It was dry and taste like it was warmed up from a day or two prior to serving me. I wish I could go get my 45 dollars back. We brought desserts and stuff, just to be greedy. I wish I could leave no stars at all.

The first time we ate here, the food was very good. Recently went back and wasn’t as impressed. The meatloaf taste like imitation meat with gravy on top. Didn’t like it. Cabbage was good as well as potato salad. Hubby had ribs, potato salad, and yams. His meal was good. Would give it 4 stars if I wasn’t so disappointed in the meatloaf.
