An ice cream parlour with a carousel?!!? The ice cream is great in that old timey, not mashed with all the toppings sorta way. The ice cream is great, but how do you fudge up ice cream? The real...

I have a feeling this place is starting to show its age. It's a relatively fun and interesting place, and the food is ok, but this last visit revealed what I believe to be some disappointing issues....

Grew up in Madison. This is a must to visit, and definitely a place to take children: it is fun seeing their fascination with all that this place has to offer. They also have a merry-go-round that...

I too, grew up on looking forward to outing at Ella's. When you are 8 it is great, when you are 28 it's pretty lame. Over priced for the quality and service. For 2 orders of jumbo hot dogs and fries,...

Always on the look-out for the unique and unsual, and based on the many Chowhound posts, we decided to try Ella's Deli in Madison. The first thing you see on driving up is a big, colorful Carousel with...

I have never had a satisfying meal at Ella's. They have a few great things, but they are all over-priced, and kinda not worth it. I mean, the croutons on the salad are delicious, but it's not worth...

They cover the walls with tacky crap with blinking lights and annoying little beeping sounds to distract you from the poor quality of the food. To call this a "deli" is an insult to all of the real...

Having grown up in the Madison area, I can attest to the kid appeal of Ella's Deli. It's a one-of-a-kind spectacle of a refreshingly analog kind in this era of Playstation 2 and Pixar. The interior of...
