Elmo’s Diner has been operating out of historic Carr Mill Mall for more than twenty years. It’s a classic diner, serving a huge variety of foods all day long. But what really sets it apart is its breakfast, from its delicious biscuits, grits and omelettes to its legendary pancakes. And it’s a local hub for families in particular – everyone loves to color in their mascot, Elmo the Duck!
