All this fodder about favorite restaurants had me thinking of one of my own...Elmo's.

Are they opened for the new season yet?

Any pics of the establishment?

Have they been Sowalled?

I hear they have revolted against the "jam bands" and went the Karaoke route?

Can someone fill me in?

I have been there numerous times and enjoy it. They have a tire swing on the porch! I didn't know they had Karaoke :clap_1:

The fried food is alright, but I cannot say that Elmo's ever comes to my mind when I think of food. Many people love it and say that it is great if you have kids. I think they have had more of that Karaoke crowd for a while, as I never remember hearing much about bands playing at Elmo's.

What are you trying to say "Karaoke crowd"?

I have to agree with SJ. Looks like a good place for young kids, but the fried seafood is not something you want to rush back for (and I was the one that talked the family into going there):(

Y'all need to think ouside the box a little bit. I feel like you pick your places and run with it.

Elmo's is a little slice of heaven. I take that back, a big slice.

My fondest memories of Josh Wogan on crab leg Wednesdays happened here.

Not sure what you mean but I am quite comfortable inside the box and like to close the lid as often as possible.

Great place for the kiddos! We were in town for my son's 17th birthday and went for all you can eat crab legs! It was fun with a very friendly staff! They had a band playing when we were there!

I also love the fact that it has the swing on the front porch and also a ship with a wheel that the kids can pretend to drive. I appreciate the family atmosphere!

Took a friend from out of town there last summer, and was embarrassed to realize that there was a huge amount of mold growing ON THE MENU. :eek: I am not a particularly finicky person, but mold on the menu is not generally a sign of a quality dining experience

There were about three other tables of people, none of whom had any food, and we left after ten minutes of waiting for someone to take our order.

Looks like a great place to have beers on the deck.

Oh come on Kitty.

If you don't like Elmos, I'm sure there are other places these Sowallers can recommend.:biggrin:

Love Nick's on the Bay!!! The hubby and I go there quite a bit. The crab legs are fantastic.

And they always have a fabulous collection of taxidermy!:biggrin:
