The baked chicken with hot honey sauce on the side on a bed of rice with veggies on top, Mac and greens as sides was delicious! It was not salty and this is rare and also appreciated! Black ppl this is an approved level of salt usage for food right here! It was all cooked very well, balanced and flavors blending well together, nice cheese pull and not too oily. Nothing was salty it was perfect! Chicken was falling off the bone a bit nice and juicy baked to perfection. The hot honey sauce was pretty good that perfect sweetness. Wanted to support this well known black owned restaurant but they need a deep clean and proper upkeep. I did just hear after going that this location has rats so I fear that adds to my reason for not wanting to return. Go try this meal and I hope it's as good as the day I tried it!

A few days ago my friend from Houston can to visit and we were hated some soil food so we ordered…read more We had the smothered turkey wings with rice and gravy and collard greens. I was extremely disappointed. I could barely chew the turkey wing there were SO overcooked and hard! The rice and gravy were really good but that's it honestly! The greens tasted almost identical to glory greens which I hope is not the case. The portion size was great! So much food especially since it's kind of pricy to be served buffet style. Idk what the ambiance or customer service is like because I ordered delivery from an app but I don't think I'm going to try again unfortunately. I really wanted to love this place but this is like my 10th time trying their food and every time I'm disappointed.

Not ideal, but honestly... once I tasted the food, I got over that real quick. The Cajun salmon was delicious and perfectly cooked and the sauce on it was everything. Super flavorful without being overwhelming. But what really stood out to me (and what I'm still thinking about) were the salmon bites with the hot honey sauce... OMG. So, so, SO good. Easily the best salmon bites I've ever had. Even without dining in, the food held up and still felt like a full experience. If I'm ever back in DC, I would definitely go back--hopefully to dine in next time.

I recently dined at this restaurant and overall, the experience was a mix of highs and lows. The…read morefood was truly great, with generous portions that ensured no one left hungry. Atmosphere was busy with a lot of foot traffic. However, I was disappointed to find that a 20% gratuity was already added to our bill, especially given the service we received. Throughout our meal, the waiter displayed an attitude that made us feel unwelcome. We faced delays in receiving our hot sauce, side dishes, and even our gravel, which added to the frustration. Despite these issues, we did enjoy our time at the restaurant, and the quality of the food certainly stood out. But I believe that for a place to include an automatic gratuity, the service should match the quality of the meal. Overall, while I would recommend the food, I hope the service improves for future visits.

I've seen this restaurant pop up on a number of third party delivery apps and one day I saw it while driving. At first, I thought it was operating out of a ghost kitchen, however, this location is the business' brick and mortar restaurant. The chicken and waffles I ordered were good.

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!

After walking in (take-out only), and seeing that there were six people waiting for their food, I was convinced, this place CAN be trusted. So, staff, really nice. Informative, hospitable, and accommodating. As indicated, exclusively "Take-out," so not much attention given to aesthetics. All those waiting raved about the food. People there have been patronizing the restaurant for decades. Again, very good sign. Ordered chitterlings, potato salad, and collard greens. Initially thought $30.00 was a bit much, given I'd NEVER eaten chitterlings "out," BUT, thought about what it actually requires, and quickly changed my mind. The price point is fine. Everything was delicious. Everything. Including the Cornbread. Given I know how to cook, there were obviously some things I would have done differently. That doesn't even matter, this place is my "Soul Food" "go-to." If they can do chitterlings well, they can do anything. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu. I highly recommend.
