Ella's - 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.

We just spent a week in Myrtle Beach and Ella’s was our favorite meal! We went on a nearby dolphin boat ride and the first mate recommended this local eatery, and we’re so glad he did! The calabash seafood was perfect and the hush puppies were a big kit with my kids. Clean restaurant and restrooms, delicious, and friendly good service!

After not having been to Ella’s for quite some time, I was pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant was along our travel route. The food is just as great as I remember from years ago. The lunch special the day I dined was a choice of one or two fried seafood options with french fries, coleslaw, and a beverage. I ordered the clam strips and a deviled crab (I did not take a photo of the crab). The clams and crab were delicious and the portion was great for the price. They bring hush puppies for the table, as well, which were also good.
