Ella's of Calabash

Great food! def recommend the onion rings for the appetizer, loved the complimentary hush puppies and honey butter! Portions were large for us we came out stuffed but we were not complaining! Little on the pricey side but it was a great treat!

Family favorite. Coming here for years. Food has always been outstanding. I always get fried shrimp and Flounder, salt & peppered dark side. It’s a southern thing. I recommend you try it. You will love Ella’s. A true southern diamond.

You don't stop at a four generation 70 year mainstay like Ella's and expect fancy decor, haughty staff, and high prices. You expect a comfortable, local favorite serving up comfort food like it always has. And that's what you get here - some quality Calabash seafood in a comfortable place where locals will flock even in the winter. They bring you some hush puppies, which are fabulous. Then we tried a couple of the fresh shrimp appetizers - both delicious. I chose the fresh catch - blackened grouper, and my friend had the Calabash three ways plate. Both were delicious and were gobbled up quickly. Definitely a worthwhile visit in Calabash.

After a short wait,we were greeted by a wonderful waitress. We had senior combination plates with shrimp, clams and oysters. All were delicious, but the clams were particularly good. The oysters were fresh and cooked just right. The only drawback was that the she crab soup was a little bit watery, but it was still tasty. If you want good local seafood deliciously prepared, Ella’s is the place to go!

A wonderful, long time family owned seafood place famous for Calabash style seafood, which they do extremely well, but my family returns year after year in the spring for their oyster roast, which is phenomenal (if you’d like oysters, that is!). Their entire menu is great and they do some of my favorite hush puppies on the coast.
