I had a wonderful experience at Elmo's Diner! I tried the pancakes along with a plain omelette filled with turkey soy and American cheddar cheese, and I couldn't be happier with my choices. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, perfectly sweetened and served hot. The omelette was cooked just right, with the turkey soy adding a nice savory flavor, complemented beautifully by the melted American cheddar. I also ordered the apple cinnamon on the side, which was a delightful touch—sweet and spiced, it paired perfectly with the pancakes. The diner has a cozy atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Elmo's Diner for a tasty breakfast or brunch!
The menu has excellent and very varied selection. We ordered the veggie burger and fiesta bowl. Both dishes tasted excellent. Staff is courteous and polite.
Amazing food and even better service. As a fellow restaurant manager I officially approve this place. My home fries were perfectly cooked, breakfast burrito was spot on with great sausage crumbles, tasted like homemade sausage. The grits were great. Simple wholesome food, served to perfection. Thank you Elmo's, I will be back!
Durham remains my home away from home. Every time I am in town I have to eat at Elmo’s. The wait is always worth the amazing food. I have never had a bad meal but the Shrimp and Grits is my favorite. I have yet to find another place that makes them quite as good. Parking is tight and they have extended parking from the 00’s when I was a student. There are no reservations, you can’t call ahead and your whole party must be present.
Wow. My new favorite breakfast place. We had driven down from South Hill, VA for an early appt at Duke Community Hosp. and needed something to eat. We spotted this place on the map only 3 miles away. Are we glad we did. Food was great, price was very reasonable and staff was as friendly as could be.
