    I came here for the feel of being among people who have been going here for 40 years. I got that. But the price of the food was too high to enjoy the overall experience. I kept thinking, I could have gone to Publix and gotten a better sub that would have been $3 cheaper. If they lowered their prices, or even had the option of free water, then the overall hometown diner experience would be enhanced.

    What a great spot for lunch! Very unassuming but the food was delicious, fresh and hot! I visited during the High Point Market and it was pretty busy. Very good spot to go for a good meal!

    This little place is a great lunch spot. Their steak sub is one of my favorites in town. Their fries have a seasoning on them that I love and are always fresh. They are always friendly, even when swamped. Food comes out quickly and I've never had them get something wrong. Try the crab cake sandwich too!

    The Elm St. Café has been a favorite lunch spot of mine for Over 20 years. Every dishes is tasty and fresh. I especially like the grilled chicken salad. The chicken is always cooked and seasoned to perfection. Play your order, and within minutes your food is served. Dine in or take out, you won’t go wrong.
