Elmo's Diner 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.

My waffle was crispy to the bite. The only way to eat a waffle. The waffle itself had no flavor until I added the syrup. (At least add some cinnamon to the batter, vanilla extract or something )...
