Being from N.E., we were excited to go here having heard so much about it. It was 11am on a Saturday. Had a 15 minute wait and it was SO worth it! Excellent service. Very good breakfast. I ordered the gravy and biscuits because, again, being from N.E. it's darn near impossible to get a decent plate of sausage gravy lol. The atmosphere is nice. A little tight on the seating but that's expected at a popular restaurant making the most of the spaces they have to work with. I've heard the waits to get a seat can be much longer and you know what? I'd GLADLY wait! KUDOS!

While traveling to Georgia we stopped at Elmo's Diner for breakfast. The atmosphere is cozy and warm making you feel right at home. The staff is very friendly and engaging. Our breakfasts were hot, fresh and made to order. The coffee was excellent! We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

Saturday mid-morning, Elmo's is a popular place. Wait was only 15 minutes, and once seated, waitress was right there to get a drink order while we perused the menu. Started with s slice of their pumpkin-apple bread, warm and truly the taste of the season. I ordered the baked french toast with hot apple cinnamon and whipped creme topping, scrambled eggs and bacon. My companion had the California Omelette with avocado, bacon and cheddar cheese instead of the jack cheese, hash browns and a biscuit. Cooked to order, very filling and exceptionally yummy. When in Durham, this is a must!

This place was just awesome. From the food to the service everything was spectacular. The servers were very helpful both making food and town recommendations. The food was tasty and filling. This place is also priced adequately, so what more could you need to pay them a visit?

Elmo's goes above and beyond with keeping their clients safe. They even are displaying, on each table, the governor's recent guidelines about dinning out, regarding when it is ok to remove your PPE.
