About Elmo's Diner
Elmo’s Diner, in Carrboro and Durham, are two locally owned, family friendly restaurants. Like true diners, 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.
