My wife is a North Carolina native who has been coming to Calabash for years. We reviewed restaurants and made our choice. Unfortunately, I cannot concur with the great reviews of Ella’s that we read. Our 30 minute wait turned into 55. After a friendly beginning with the order taking, we waited 30 minutes for any further attention. Teas needed refilling, the hush puppies needed replenishing, and we had a spill at the table that needed help with more napkins. The soup, a local fresh oyster stew never arrived. The entrees were mediocre and the stuffed flounder, a specialty, was disappointing and luke-warm. Two sets of side dishes were incorrect and the waitress had to be flagged down. The waitress did apologize at the end, referencing a party of 14 that took her attention. I should have brought more people. When I checked out at the front desk, not one person bothered to ask how my dinner or experience was. With so many excellent choices in a town as charming as Calabash one should definitely look elsewhere. ref: 2836 |

On our recent trip to Ella's everything once again was wonderful. The food was great as always and the service is always nice. Some of our favorite girls are the ones that we notice from last year and they always seem to remember us. They are very friendly and pleasant to conversate with. Everyone that visits the coastal area should try Ella's and get some of the greatest seafood and sweet tea. They cook their food in a reduced fat oil and not lard unlike some of the restaurants in the area. It tastes great and it's not greasy or heavily battered. We love it!!! We will DEFINITELY visit Ella's again on our next trip to see our family. Thanks again to all "our girls" for another great trip and great food. ref: 2619 |

Our family has been eating at Ella's for years. They KNOW how to cook seafood!! The prices are very economical and the amount of food is enormous!! Our children have grown up comparing all seafood to Ella's :) For real southern cooked seafood...go to Ella's! You will not be disappointed...also, they have the best hushpuppies around! ref: 2597 |

I used to be a lifeguard in North Myrtle Beach back in the early 90's and I had a girlfriend who worked here. She always hooked me up with extra hush puppies and clam chowder. To this day it's still some of the best food I've ever had. The food was always good and I always got extra special service. I'll be sure to stop by the next time I'm in the area. ref: 2164 |

We were told by a local to try Ella's and were NOT disappointed. Our family always went to Myrtle Beach to eat seafood and boy were we crazy! Ella's had the best seafood and other things on the menu as well. A nice family atmosphere and recently went all Non Smoking. No wonder they were featured in Southern Living Favorites. ref: 2059 |

Since i was small, my family would always eat in Calabash on visits to the coast. Simmons, Nances, or Ella's. Ella's by far is the best. Ate there this past Saturday and had their oyster cocktail, which was just about as much as I could eat. Fantastic! We also had their lunch specials that are very reasonably priced. Can' t go wrong. Take it from an "almost local" Winn Simmons ref: 1456 |

Just got back from Myrtle Beach, which included two (2) visits to Ella's. We always go there, and have never been disappointed. Our large (ten person) party ordered a wide variety of foods, some fried some broiled, and it was all great. I had the oysters/shrimp on night and the shrimp/crabs on the second visit, and each time it was tasty and delicious. The oysters went a long way toward erasing the memory of fired oysters at Howard Johnsons when i was a kid! ;-) Others had the soft shelled crab, stuffed flounder, the big mamma jamma five item captains plate (shrimp, oysters, scallops, crab, and flouder).
Oh, yeah, we also had the key lime pie, which was to die for.
I can only assume the 8.9.2005 review was a gross anamoly-it certainly was NOT the restuarant experience we had on our trips to Ellas on 8.14.2005 and on 8.19.2005.

Each year I travel to Myrtle Beach for vacation. It is a tradition for me to go to Ella's and enjoy their seafood platter. Best seafood and best prices that I have found anywhere. I look forward to going there each year. ref: 1130 |

The quality of Ella's has declined! I grew up going to Ella's for good seafood when my family travelled to Calabash; however the last time we stopped there the service was poor, the hush puppies were cold and the seafood was awful! I mentioned this to the person at the register who seemed not to really care. I seriously doubt I will ever go back. ref: 1046 |

We love Ella's! They have the very very very best hush puppies you will ever eat and that is the main reason to go.
Sweet tea is also good and you can order by the pitcher.
Nice family run place, great value for the money ref: 740 |
