We found Elm Street Eatery on Yelp! while traveling through Lebanon on I-44. It is less than a mile…read moreto the west of the interstate and worth the stop. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, extra crispy bacon, hash browns and coffee. The eggs were perfectly cooked as ordered with no runny whites and very runny yolks. The hash browns were shredded potatoes that were light, nicely browned without being stuck in a clump and the bacon was fall apart crisp, just like I ordered. I ordered French toast on white bread because I prefer it when the batter soaks through the bread and some places that use Texas toast do not let the batter soak through it. Their French toast was perfect. Plenty of batter was used to assure the entire piece of bread was saturated and it was thoroughly grilled to a brown exterior and warm creamy interior. The coffee was fresh and not bitter. Finally, the service was excellent and friendly. We will stop there again on our way through.
