Good burgers and service. Didn't get to try a shrimp burger. But plan to return more

This place is a local icon! There just aren't many true drive-ins left and this one hasn't changed since day one! You drive up and if you're lucky, you'll get one of the primo parking spots under the big oak trees and keep your lights on...that's how the carhops know you haven't been waited on. My reccomendations are the El's... more

It's a drive-in, but you can save a lot of time when they are busy by ordering inside and waiting around. The car hops take 10-15 orders before they go in, so we waited 20 mins.---saw others going in to order and take out their bags of food. The onion rings were awesome! more

I grew up on El's. I've been gone a long time now but everytime I visit relatives, before I see them, I call and say "what do you want"? They know I'm stopping there 1st. I actually have recurring nightmares that I've been in Morehead for a week and am leaving the next day and never found the time to... more

I've been going to El's for 38 years and consider it the best! People ask, "If you were on a deserted island and could have your favorite food, what would it be?" My answer would be the "El's Super Burger all the way no cheese with Onion Rings and a Pepsi. more
