If you are looking for the Swiss, Artichoke and Portabella Quiche or Salmon Caesar that regularly appear at the bottom of the specials inserts don’t panic!  They have been added to the regular menu.  We have also made some other changes as well, which include: fresh broccoli as a square meals choice, white rice replacing the seasoned rice, a kid’s veggie meal, Onion Rings, Southwest Chicken Salad, Cinnamon Apple Pancakes, Salmon Cake Sandwich and the Shepherd’s Pie on the regular menu.  Our menu is large so we did need to make adjustments to make room for these additions.  The Roast Beef Meal and Roast Beef Sandwich have come off the regular menu, but will appear as a special from time to time.  This also results in changes to our Trifecta and Chef Salad—ham will now be replacing the roast beef which was an ingredient in both of these menu items.  Also, be on the lookout for new specials to come!

Thanks to some extraordinary help from staff and faithful customers, both Elmo’s in Durham and in Carrboro are open for business Monday.  Come on in and see us and tell us about your weekend in the snow!

Old Man Winter put up a good fight this weekend, keeping the Durham Elmo’s locked up all day Saturday and Sunday, to our dismay.  Thanks to helping hands from some intrepid employees, some sunshine, and some salt and sand, we were able to get out to the store today and start getting things cleaned up and ready for Monday.

We will be opening Monday morning at 9:00am, unless there are any unforeseen delays.  We will be on-site early to start prepping food and assessing the safety of our parking lot and walkways.  If there is anything amiss that keeps us from opening promptly at 9:00am, we will open as close to that as we can.

Thank you all for hanging with us, and apologies to those who ventured out and found us closed.  Running a restaurant is a group effort, and in ensuring the safety of our whole group, we focused on giving you 100% on Monday instead of 20 or 30% today.  We have a bunch of stir-crazy folks who are ready to and anxious to serve our customers, and we look forward to seeing everyone!

Because of icy overnight conditions and the current state of our parking lot, Elmo’s in Durham will be closed Sunday, January 31st.  We are actively looking for someone to clear the parking lot so that we can get open on Monday.  If anyone happens to read this and know of anyone with the proper scraping equipment, you can send an email our way at elmos.mark@gmail.com.

Thanks again for your patience and know that we really want to be open!
