Elsie's Restaurant

The dining room exudes a bright, home‑like atmosphere, highlighted by a large sign that is hard to miss and a view of the nearby Hegins Park gazebo across the street. Open Wednesday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. and Sunday from 6 a.m. to noon, the restaurant provides dine‑in, takeout, and curbside pickup options, accepting all major credit and debit cards.
