Great place for breakfast! Service was quick, food was great, and coffee was delicious. We ordered the create your own omelettes and my sister ordered their Santa Fe breakfast bowl and loved it. If the parking lot is full don’t be discouraged. The place has plenty of seating and got us right in.

Our first time at Elmo’s and didn’t disappoint. The place was packed on a Thursday afternoon but our wait time was 2min and food came in less than five. Our favorites were onion rings. Fries can use a bit more seasoning for our palates. Waffle was hearty and I loved the blueberry compote.

…Not what I expected or remembered. It was just okay. I chose the salmon cakes and they were extremely fishy tasting. And I love salmon. The eggs Florentine, the sauce tasted like powdered cheese. It was extremely grainy. Biscuits were dry. Still enjoy the Durham atmosphere.

Howdy guys! While in the area, we were craving breakfast and decided to give this place a try. Firstly, let me say this place is the truth with moving folks in and out! We were told it would be a 15-25 min wait, we probably waited all of 10 mins that’s a plus!!!! Secondly the vibe/atmosphere here is great, staffing very friendly and knowledgeable. Only reason for the two star deduction, my salmon patties were fried a little hard and very bland. In addition, my home fries were also fried very hard.

Great place for breakfast lunch. Very reasonable prices and a lot of vegetarian options which we really appreciated. They have mimosas for under $7 and a selection of beers. Did was very fresh and flavorfull. Has a lot of authentic Mexican breakfast items which is a nice change from the regular breakfast food you see in most diners

The food here was very good! My mom had the Santa Fe special which was delicious! My waffle was blueberry compote was really good as well along with a Mexican omlete. I say this place is a must try! On a side note it seemed the restaurant was a bit short staffed so it took a little bit to place an order but the server was very friendly and accommodating!

Visited Durham for the day and looked for a close diner to downtown. This place popped up. Me and my family truly enjoyed this place. Very nice, friendly atmosphere. Tasty Food and delicious Sweet Tea. The menu had a lot of variety and our server Emily was amazing. Would recommend.

I ordered the salmon cakes, and my partner ordered the quiche of the day. Both we’re DELECTABLE! Everything had flavor, the waitress Heather had the BEST personality. The food didn’t take long to cook at all, everything was fresh and devine. There were some other patrons that came in with an attitude and proceeded to dish it out towards Heather, but she took it in stride and continued on with waiting tables. She was really busy busting multiple tables but never lost her composure once, she was definitely worth the tip. And for the food alone we’ll be back.

So very sorry no pictures of the menu.. it is what you would expect from a top tier diner. They have it all. We were a large group (9) for lunch, they were quick to find a place for us, food was served hot and fast. We all got so many different things and everyone enjoyed it! This is a Durham icon and a positive part of the amazing city of Durham.
