Everything at Ella & Ollie's is exceptional... from the food to the atmosphere to the service. Their butcher steak is cooked perfectly, so tender with so much flavor. I could bathe in their fried mac n' cheese sauce. And to top it all off, their homemade desserts are to die for. Apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream is my favorite... so far 😉!
We were very impressed with this restaraunt! The menu selection was good, food was served quickly, service was excellent, and taste was amazing! I highly recommend the shrimp cakes!
Our party of 9 had the best experience at Ella & Ollie’s. Service was quick and the staff worked as a team to make our time enjoyable. We ordered bread and ricotta, Brussels, and the grit balls. They were superb. We had a variety of food ordered from the burger to the special, shrimp, short ribs and ribeye. Everyone left satisfied and stated that this was our favorite restaurant out of the 6 we had on the island this week.

I followed a foodie recommendation from Food Network’s Kardea Brown and visited Ella & Ollie's for my final supper on Edisto Island.
If you’re looking for a nice dinner in an upscale environment, this is the spot for you. It is off the beaten path, located within The Plantation Course at Edisto. Incredible menu!! Ella & Ollie’s uses local fresh seafood, as well seasonal produce for their dishes so the menu changes frequently based on the current season and availability.
I started out with the Marsh Hen Mill Grit Puppies as an appetizer. Marsh Hen Mill’s grits are milled right here on Edisto Island, so again… very local. 😊 These grit puppies had the best crispy sensation when I bit into them. These are packed with so much flavor from the smoked cheddar and andouille sausage. The pepper jelly added a sweet touch, providing amazing balance of flavors. I was amazed with how creamy the grits were too. Sooo delicious!
Then, I went with the Edisto Shrimp Cakes because I’ve never seen that offered on a menu before. Edisto Seafood shrimp (notice the local trend? 😋), preserve lemon and butter pea perloo, citrus butter, and a green tomato chow chow. Unbelievable! 🤤 And, the presentation blew me away. Such a gorgeous dish and it is as yummy as it looks.
I made sure to sample my cousin’s BBQ Shrimp as well because they were featured in Southern Living. The sauce is quite unique and is definitely what makes this a solid dish and the shrimp…sooooo tender. It’s easy to see why this is Kardea’s favorite dish. Nothing is better than fresh shrimp.
Ellie & Ollie’s is top notch all the way around. Melissa and the staff took wonderful care of us. So hospitable and friendly! Such an incredible dining experience.
11/10 amazing!
We ordered a starter, drinks, entrees, and desserts, and everything was fantastic! The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. I don't think this place has a dress code, but it feels like a less casual place, so I felt out of place with my shorts and t-shirt. Our waitress didn't bring us any napkins, so we had to grab some from a nearby empty table. We would definitely visit again in the future, though. We want to try more of the dishes!
Nicest place to eat at Edisto. Food was really good with a great dessert selection too. You can dress up or be more casual. Staff is extra friendly. Enjoyed dinner out with my hubby! Enter from Jungle Road and not Palmetto as Google Maps might suggest. Palmetto Road's entrance is a gated community and you can't get there.
Great food! Really different! Loved our waiter whose wife is a chef and pitched in during COVID, when his day job is a landscaper. Hats off to you. Hard to find. Have to go in the Wyndham entrance. Be aware that GPS takes you to a dead end street. Go all the way around to get to the gate. Worth finding. Not cool to be told we should tip the kitchen staff. You should pay them what they are worth and not make the patrons tip them. Not classy at all.
Ella and Ollie's hosted a very special event for us earlier this month. I had several special requests for the event including bringing in entertainment and a video presentation for guests that would be arriving from across the country. Every request was generously granted and the event could not have turned out better.
The owners and all of the staff were 100% focused on our guests and their enjoyment. And the food, oh my gosh! Our guest's are still Raving! I am forever grateful to Katherine, Paula and their very professional staff for making our event an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience for our guests. I can't wait to get back to E&Os to enjoy their hospitality once again!
AMAZING food!!! Best place to eat in Edisto Island, HANDS DOWN! We loved it so much that we went twice on our trip. Definitely do not miss out on this spectacular restaurant. I had the E&O Salad (house salad), and it was AMAZING. I had the special of the day both times I went - first time was a mild fish called Wahu, and it was amazing, and the second time was a mild fish called Grouper, and it was out of this world. Several of my family members got the Lamb pizza and it was amazing. Also, the service there is amazing. The first time we went it was on a weekday, and it was very quiet and romantic. The second time was on a Saturday, and it was much more crowded, and a few tables was noisy, but we still had an amazing time. I 1000% recommend this place!!
Our first night on Edisto Island Beach we had dinner at Ella & Ollie's. From the time we walked in we were greet by the host. A very pleasant older gentalman. Our server Chris was awesome, even though he was busy with other tables we never felt neglected.
In two months we have visited four Wyndham properties and there restaurants. This one is hands down the best restaurant.
We highly recommend this place for dinner. Supporting local eatery's and you will never be disappointed.
Best restaurant on the island. Others take note! Fish does not have to be deep fried and overcooked! It is in fact delicious on its own when prepared correctly. Goat cheese appetizer was delish, trout and shrimp & grits were tasty. Would go back, would recommend (esp given other options 🙄).
A must try if you visit Edisto. We made reservations for dinner and from the moment they answered the phone, we knew we were going to have a great experience. The staff is so friendly and accommodating that we felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Our table was ready when we arrived and we were able to place our order right away. Every single dish we had that night was outstanding. We started the night a very tasty jalapeno raspberry Rita, followed by calamari that was perfectly done and a delicious waygu beef carpaccio. For the main course we ordered the E&O burger, the Oyster skillet, an arugula salad with shrimp, and a pepperoni pizza from the kids menu. Every single dish was amazing and the portions are very generous. We ended the night on a super high note, enjoying the bread pudding we ever had. Thank you E&O for a wonderful end to our first visit to Edisto. You made us want to come back very soon.
