Elmo's Drive Inn — Restaurant in Amarillo

Facebook exploded a couple days ago in a local restaurant group where someone asked about a good hamburger at a family-owned place. This was not the only place mentioned but it was possibly the most often mentioned. It made me want to go try them out again. I had come here a couple years ago but it was right before closing so I felt like I didn't get an accurate experience. The hamburger was good, definitely better than just about any fast food hamburgers but I didn't think it was as good as Coyote Bluff or Golden Light or Furrbies. The tater tots were wonderful and only $2 but there were only six or eight of them. Then again, I didn't really need any more. I tried their poppers which were only $3.50 for the smaller size. They were good and worth the money but a bit on the spicy side for me personally. Next time I want to try their chocolate malt at the recommendation of others but they were having problems with their ice cream machine this day so I couldn't order that. I've also heard good things about their cherry lime drink so I will get that another day also. Their prices are very very fair. Well worth the stop and a fun experience since it's hard to find drive-in restaurants like the old days just for...

Ive been coming to Elmos for years since i was a child! Today i call to order nachos because the lady was taking forever to bring my daughters card back. So I CLEARLY asked for nachos with meat and asked if it only came with meat and cheese. She asked me if I want peppers I said yea on the side. I get my nachos with no meat. It then takes forever once again for her to even acknowledge im calling her back. When I started heading towards the building she then asked me if I needed something and I told her I ordered my nachos with meat. She tried to tell me that I did not. I’m the one that called you. My daughter was sitting right next to me and heard the whole conversation. Instead of simply saying oh, I’m sorry I missed that she says well I’m going to have to charge you for the meat so I’ve been sitting here with my nachos for 20 minutes. My cheese is cold so now I have cold nachos. The correct way would’ve been oh, let me remake those for you. Worst experience ever! Have they...

Amazing. I am so impressed and surprised. Looks can be deceiving because I thought this place was closed down! As soon as we parked we were immediately assisted. Ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with grilled onions and it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in my entire life. Also ordered steak fingers and fries with gravy, all delicious. Great service and great food, very filling. The only thing I can see needs improving is the menu sign to include prices. There are no prices and while the food was reasonably priced it is like ordering in the dark. For $20 we received the Swiss burger, large Coke, fries, steak fingers basket that came with...
