Ellaem's Soul Food - North Las Vegas

My brother, his girlfriend, and daughter, took me here for my birthday lunch. Me and my brother ordered the oxtails, while his girlfriend and daughter, ordered the catfish. All our meals came with 3 different side dishes which is awesome. The meal was a little pricey, but I think it was all worth it in the end. The meal was very delicious. Would recommend and return.

The food was horrible. Everything tasted like salt only. The dressing didn't taste like dressing and had a think mashed potato texture. I had to spit it out. The Mac n cheese was very dry, salty and bitter. The collard greens were way too salty and dry. The pork chops, black eyed peas and cabbage were a little moist, but tasted like salt. The yams were whipped sweet potatoes and didn't have any flavor. The red beans and rice taste like Bush's baked beans over rice. The red snapper was hard and dry. The gravy was the best thing I've tasted, it wasn't all that great. I suggest ease up on the salt, and use other Seasonings such as onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, adobe, vegetable, chicken or beef stock, pepper, sage for the dressing, etc.

I was invited to some soul food but it wasn't what I expected the chicken wasn't seasoned well , the Mac was different from what I'm use to and the greens had a spicy taste to them , but the corn bread was the best . The server was all over the place , we asked for water it took sometime, we were still eating and the server was ready for use too leave because Alot of people came in after church, I loved the memories of the original owner but sad to say my Mississippi Mom got them beat...

I www craving some good old soul food and hubby took me to Ella Emma’s and I was not disappointed. The sign clearly says that food is prepared on order so please be patient! It was worth the wait. The food was amazing and Allen(I hope I spelt your name correctly) was a sweetheart. They took care of us and always made sure we were good. I seen another table who was giving them a hard time however they handled it with great customer service and the fact they weren’t left a tip but left a mess was so disappointing. It is not easy especially in the food business but I commend them for staying professional. Definitely going back!! THANK you Allen. See you soon sweetie

Food is amazing the best soup food i’ve had. also very friendly and wonderful service. love it so much
