11 Best North Carolina Diners | Eater Carolinas

"Elmo’s Diner has brought comfort food to both the studious academics and local families of Durham for more than twenty years (sadly, the Carrboro location closed in 2020). Feeling sweet? Try the golden pancakes, topped with fresh whipped cream, bananas, or homemade cinnamon apples (none of the gunky canned stuff). Feeling more savory? Go the quiche route, or browse through the many Tex-Mex-inspired plates, like huevos rancheros and spicy enchiladas." - Sara Akhavan
