About this business

Like a true diner, we serve homemade food and breakfast all the time. We have comfy booths, as well as tables, and lots of high chairs and boosters for the little ones! We are a gathering place where locals are sure to see someone they know and visitors are likely to make new friends. We're a community restaurant both in the sense that we are a local favorite and in the sense that we strive to be good neighbors and give back to our community

The best place for a cheap meal – Good old country cooking. Their broccoli casserole is awesome as one of the 2 sides that come with the chicken and dumplins as well as your choice of biscuit or cornbread. The basil tomato soup tastes like lasagna (it's good) and their veggie burgers are incredible.

Excellent breakfast! – A landmak and deserving of it. Hands down the best breakfast in Durham.

Not so good – Is that what they call home fries? (Chopped up potatoes with no spices, thrown in a deep frier.) The food is not good and that's all I can say.

My favorite Restaurant! – Elmo's Diner has the best food in town at the lowest prices with the best atmosphere and service. Laid back and friendly, it's the best place to go if you want to eat great food and hang out with friends or family. A huge selection of food ranging from hummus sandwiches to roast beef, plus breakfast all day (try the pecan waffles!). Every one who visits me from home goes to Elmo's and every one has loved it. There's hardly ever a wait, but when it is busy you can drink coffee while you wait. Great p... read more

Elmo's is fantastic – I alway recieve speedy service the people at front are always nice to me and although the food is not always to everyones liking, the atmosphere always is. Although you can't make reservations, it makes every one seem as important as the next. The wait can be lenghty but I would say that it is wort it. When you become a regular there is nothing better, they treat you liek family, they exceeded my expectations.

excellent waffles anytime – I had breakfast at Elmo's after regular breakfast hours.They served up an excellent waffle cooked to perfection,light golden,and kept my coffee cup full.I would recommend Elmo's in Carrboro,NC for when you're in the area.As an added attraction,the waffle came with a slice of orange and green leafy thing on the plate.

Consistent Bargain – My partner and I eat at the Elmo's in Durham at least three times a week. Usually dinner one night and breakfast/brunch on both Saturday and Sunday. We love Cammie. I recommend the chicken caesar salad, the cheeseburger, the veggie burrito, the hummus platter, any of the pancakes, the quiche, the Eno river mudpie, .... I need to stop. The variety and quality of those items is amazing. Finicky eaters are pleased. Let's just say that I have never had a bad meal there, and I have always felt like I was fair... read more

Cheap eats? You got it! – Elmo's Diner is a great place to catch a good cheap meal. It's been a Chapel Hill native "secret" but the word got out.... There's a Durham location on ninth street too. Good food at VERY reasonable prices. Great milkshakes too. Come as you are atmosphere.
