5/29/2023 0 Comments Elmer dinerUsually when we stop taking to-go orders for a bit, it is for a very short period.The Elmer Colonial Pancake House started its breakfast in Portland, OR in 1960. You may reach out to us over the phone and not be able to get thru IF we have stopped taking to-gos OR it may be that we are swamped with other to-go calls which block your call. Increased Dine-in business and staffing shortages means we have to sometimes prioritize in-house customers over to-go and temporarily stop taking to-go orders. Take-outĮlmo’s offers Take-out, but we no longer do car-side. No one will be permitted to work sick and staff with any Covid-like symptoms are required to show a negative Covid test or doctor’s note before returning to work. We have never allowed employees to work if sick, but we are especially vigilant about this now. We are continuing to follow strict cleaning and sanitizing procedures throughout preparation and service–for example, with regular sanitizing of high touch surfaces like tables. Restaurants are already very closely monitored for health and cleanliness by the Durham Department of Health, and we are working closely with them to stay up to date with any new developments and/or procedures we need to implement for your Dine-in safety. DINE-INĮlmo’s is OPEN for Dine-in! (We DON’T take reservations or call-aheads though!) We’re all aware of the COVID-19 concerns we’re facing as a community, and we want you to know the precautions we’re taking to ensure the safety of our customers and staff. Every July, Durham hosts the American Dance Festival which provides yet another wonderful venue to visit either before or after a trip to Elmo’s Diner-Durham! Duke gardens the Museum of Life and Science (a great trip for kids!) and downtown Durham, where you’ll find the Durham Bulls Athletic Park and the new Durham Performing Arts Center. It’s also conveniently located near many wonderful Durham sites, including Duke University, with its beautiful chapel, the excellent Nasher Museum of Art, and the Sarah B. The Ninth Street shopping district is known for its diverse and unique locally owned businesses. The restaurant also is located in an old building with lots of history, having been a former taxi cab garage, beauty college and bakery at various times. Large windows, wooden floors, high ceilings and old red brick grace the Durham location, and give a warm and casual feel. Upcoming Spirit “Mursdays”Įlmo’s Diner-Durham opened in the spring of 1997, in the Ninth Street shopping district of Old West Durham. If you don’t hear back within one week, feel free to call the restaurant during non-meal times (919) 416-3823 and ask to speak to the person in charge of Spirit Mursdays. If you are volunteering for a local DPS PTA and are interested in applying for a Spirit Mursday, you can use the CONTACT link on this website to let us know of your interest. After a school’s Mursday is over, we will donate 4% of our Total Sales minus TO GO sales from the school’s designated M-Th week (Thus, the title: Spirit Mursday 4 DPS!) All customers are encouraged to come out in force on these special spirit Mursdays and help support our schools. Now we are announcing the start of Spirit “Mursday” 4 Durham Public Schools!ĭurham Public School PTSAs can hold a Monday-Thursday (“Mursday”) spirit week at Elmo’s Diner where they encourage their school population and the community-at-large to eat IN HOUSE at Elmo’s. Our previous First Tuesday fundraising program for Durham Public School PTSAs had to be re-envisioned since we are no longer open nights and that was when we saw the majority of our school families. 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. First Tuesday is NOW Spirit “Mursday” 4 DPS!
