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.

My family and I have been coming to Elmos for the bad 2 years. I would give it 3 1/2 stars if that had been a choice. It usually decent food. I have had some great meals and I have had some horrible meals here. I come back because thet are very kid friendly and the staff is always nice. I also think it is a good value (if the meal was good) for the money. Usually you cannot go wrong with breakfast fare.

If you are looking for a no frills but tasty meal Elmo's is your place. They are kid friendly and the wait for a table is usually not to long. I highly recommend trying one of their soups or quiches, they are delcious. Remember, this is not a fast food restaurant, so if you have a large group be prepared to wait a while.

Elmo's is a great place for Sunday Brunch and if you get there a little late and find yourself waiting, you can have a cup of coffee and read the paper. The prices are good and the food is better.
