5 stars! I love EllaEm's soul food! I have been here multiple times because of their chicken and waffles. The chicken and waffles portion is pretty big. It comes with a big waffle and 3 chicken wiings/leg. It can feed the both of us. Sometimes we will just add a few sides and an extra waffle to make us extra full. I admire how they keep their food nice and fresh. Everything that we have tried is always so delicious. Their mac and cheese isn't too salty and has the right amount of seasoning and cheese. Their mash potatoes with brown gravy is delicious too. It always tastes fresh like they just whipped some up just for you and your plate of food. Their potato salad is yummy! It has that little bit of sweetness and tartness from the mustard, I would love to take some on a picnic. Ha! Their cornbread always comes out warm with a bunch of butter. My fiance loves their cornbread, I don't blame him. It has the crunchy outer texture and the inside is soft and warm. Yummm. Just thinking about their food is making my mouth water! I believe everything they make, they make with love which is why I gave them 5 stars. Prices are worth it too.
I love the inside of the restaurant too. They kept it nice and simple and kind of true to the type of food they make. Nothing is too fancy, you can comfortably eat and feel cozy. The walls have posters and they have pictures of their family members and I love it. The servers also remember who you are if you eat there twice within a week. Haha. I don't regret it. I absolutely love EllaEm's! Oh! They also do trays of food which is nice... So maybe one Thanksgiving I won't make any food, but I'll order all my food from here!
