What People Are Saying About Elmo's Diner

In Short
A front counter evokes Small Town, USA. Lone diners read the newspaper. Waiters chat with customers and whip up milk shakes. Kids occasionally run past, since it's one of the best spots in town to bring the family. Large windows and wood-plank floors make the space feel as old and preserved as the diner tradition itself. Comfort food, like meat loaf and roast, hamburgers and all-day breakfast, including omelets, waffles and pancakes, are this kitchen's forte.

With one exception everythign I ever ate at Elmo's was delicious. I can't say enough good things about the turkey and gravy plate. They'll gladly substitute fries for mashed potatoes and I love that. In fact, they'll work with you on most anything. My favorite special was the turkey and dressing. Just like, no wait-- better!-- than my mom made it. Check out the recession menu for some good deals!

I've dinned at Elmos both in Durham and Carrboro on and off for years. For basic American cuisine, especially non-greasy, either location is fine and the food is comparable and consistently good. Weekends and holidays both places get too crowded and one may well have to line up and wait too long. I usually plan my trips during off peak hours and then it is dream service and great food. I do have a perferred breakfast omlette. It is a custom four: with calamata olives, spinage, mushrooms, and feta cheese. I get it with rye toast and sliced tommatoes instead of home fries. Just about anything on the menue is good. I used to be a professional cook and Elmos is one of those locally owned places that it is well worth discovering. Don't over expect anything, but it tends to be better than most American gernics around. Much better than any of the chains.

Elmo's is a great place to eat in Carrboro, located in the Carr Mill Mall. High ceilings, brick walls, old fashioned diner feel and menu. They have good milkshakes, quiche, and excellent breakfast foods. It's not really a student hangout - mostly families when I have been there.
