The Mark at Elon — Restaurant in Elon

Had reservations for Thanksgiving 2024. Arrived with plenty before reservation to wait behind a party of 3 that had called in earlier and was seated before us. We then had to wait to be seated per staff. Approximately 15 mins later, we were seated. It then took more than 15 more mins for someone to acknowledge us, receive menus and water. Another long wait, for wait staff to take our order, we were notified 2 of the listed side (mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes) were all gone and being substituted (mac & cheese and green beans). Our appetizers came out, 1 calamari and a salad - that was missing 3 of the missing listed components. Entrees came - prime rib was missing horseradish and was cold. The other was missing another side, due to being out of also. Spoke with manager and he stated it was a busy day. Odd, since reservations were "required". For desert, they were out of 3 of the listed, so we decided on bread pudding and souffle. Another long wait and waiter came out with 1 desert, bread pudding. Which was and end\corner cut and cold. The entire experience was terrible. Waiter Tom was great, it wasn't his fault management or lack thereof, doesn't know how to run a so called "up...

The food was okay/good. Our service was abysmal. Our waitress seemed to be hating life. She took our order and brought our food. That was it! We asked for our check and waited and waited. We finally had to ask for the manager to bring our check. I had ordered a mimosa. The champagne or prosecco was flat as water, so I was left with watery seeming orange juice. The decor reminded my daughter of a local nursing home dining room. Our table was uneven, and bumped up and down. The people next to us had phenomenal service. Their waitress was chatty, animated and visited their table often and they actually got refills on coffee and water. The dining room was not packed, so I don’t think our waitress was overwhelmed with tables. It was very disappointing. I wanted to like it, because it is on the campus of my Alma mater, but won’t be going back. The food/experience was not worth the cost. I will try at least their wine tasting event to see if any better before I completely...

🥞🍳 Family favorite through and through—The Mark at Elon never disappoints.

This has become our go-to spot for breakfast—and often lunch too—anytime we’re in town. We’ve been here countless times, and what keeps us coming back is the unbeatable combo of great food and even better hospitality.

The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely accommodating. They always go out of their way to adjust the TVs so our girls can watch Bluey during breakfast—which, as any parent knows, is a game-changer. It’s those little touches that make the experience not just enjoyable but memorable.

The food? Always fresh, always delicious. My personal favorites are the chicken and waffles or their burger. Quinn is all about the pancakes, and Zuri loves their classic eggs breakfast. Every meal is consistently on point.

If you’re looking for a warm, welcoming spot that treats you like family and serves up high-quality comfort food—The Mark...
