I usually get the turkey on rosemary Parmesan the smallest sandwich which is still a nice size meal for me. Now I would say the prices are definitely high but that's what you pay for fresher ingredients. I like all the veggies but no red wine vinegar or oil as that makes the sandwich soggy if you not eating it asap. Now the service can get some hep as when I have walked in a couple times the workers would be in a full conversation or "cleaning" and act like you are not even there. So that can be annoying especially when I'm in a hurry. But besides that when I need a quick lunch for work I stop by and never disappointed with the flavor and freshness.

I was craving breakfast this morning, so I checked Yelp and ended up here…read more I placed my order, which was ready in a short time. The place is a small, mom-and-pop shop with a few seats available for dining in if needed. The gentleman at the register was pretty nice. He provided me with a menu at my request. He advised me quickly that it was cash only, as I had missed the signage on the door that reads, "No credit or debit cards, cash only." My beef sausage, egg, and cheese was pretty tasty, so good that I wish I had grabbed two. Lol I also purchased a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich for my grandmother, and she too enjoyed every bit of it! If you haven't checked out this spot yet, I recommend that you do. I'll be back again to try some other menu items. Pros: Quick service Courteous Good food Fairly priced Cons: None

I got the order to go and when I walked in I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot, when I told them my name they had my order right there. I don't know if they are affiliated with Denny's or just using their kitchen. The sand which was around $14, combo $18 which I think is a little high especially if your coming out of Denny's, but it's a decent size sand and I could easily just eat half with a side and drink and be full and save the other for dinner but I can't eat huge quantities usually. I think this place has a good shot but hopefully they can get somewhere on their own so they can attract more customers.

And I would say that the sandwich was pretty good, but was soggy because of the added green peppers that were cooked. I thought the green peppers would be raw. So that dropped down the stars as the sand which was just so soggy I couldn't really enjoy it. Now the salad was only lettuce and maybe a couple of onions. I'm sorry that is not a "salad". I was expecting lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, cheese...all salad items and that is not what I got. The service was good I was greeted right when I came in and my order took only about 10 minutes to make. So I definitely will be back to try more items and their desserts.

Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. When I arrived, the place was packed, which is great to see -- but nearly half of the special items were already sold out. I went ahead and ordered the fried fish with three sides and was quoted a 20-minute wait. Since the space is on the smaller side, I chose to wait in my car. Twenty minutes later, I came back in and was told it would be another 20 minutes, and that they'd bring my order out to me. After no one came out, I went back inside to find the restaurant had completely cleared out, and my food still wasn't ready. They apologized and offered a complimentary drink, which was a nice gesture, but I ended up waiting nearly an hour and a half for fish and three sides. That's simply not acceptable, regardless of how busy it gets. I get it, a rush happens. But transparency goes a long way. Had I been given an honest wait time upfront, I would have made a different decision. I truly want to see Black businesses thrive, especially right now, and I hope they take this feedback to heart and work out the kinks.

The individuals who answer the phones and take orders are rude, and the overall quality is lacking. I saw this place on TikTok and noticed that it was located in my old neighborhood, so I decided to give it a try. The employees were kind and walked me through the menu, which led me to order catfish and fried shrimp rice. Y'all, Chinese food in the District Heights/Forestville area hasn't tasted this good since the 90's. My combo meal cost around 15 bucks, and it included a yellow drink. I won't call it lemonade, because it was old-school lemon-flavor Kool-Aid. It was sooo good, and if you put it in the freezer and added Henny, it would make a great evening. I will be back!

I was invited here for dinner with a high school friend who had been here before, and I text him appreciating the NEXT DAY, to say how good this place was. When you come in, you pass the bar and I'm sure someone has already greeted you by then. The customer service here was great! Throughout our entire hour.5 stay at EllaRay's, my table of 2 was probably asked at least 5 times if we needed anything - in the best way too, not the inconvenience type. The food is served hot-bar style, with someone there to present to you whatever you want. I ordered the smothered turkey, mac&chz, and cabbage, along with some red velvet cake and a mixed lemonade-tea mix that was sweeeeeet! The food itself was DELICIOUS. The smothered turkey was exactly that - see the picture of the portions too. The mac&chz was also that, cheesy, and the cabbage had a great spice to it, that I enjoyed! My friend ordered the yams, string beans and catfish - and from what he let me try (I was only interested in trying the catfish), I loved it! I think it would be something that I'd order as my side next time. For desert, I had the cake the following day and loved the fact that the icing was homemade - not heavy or thick. Now the only thing that I haven't noted was the service. Was the staff attentive and great with their recommendations, yes - but their line was just so long. Maybe I came during a rush but to get all of the delicious food offered, it did take a little longer than expected. Other that that, I loved this place! Pack your patience, and appetite!
