Few restaurants in North Carolina are third-generation, family-owned and operated establishments. El’s Drive-In in Morehead City is one of them and the menu at El’s is as legendary as the restaurant itself.
You'll find El's Drive-In at 3706 Arendell Street in Morehead City, where it has been since the first day it opened the doors all the way back in 1959.
A number of burgers grace the modest menu, including the regular burger — prepared just the way you like it. Or, if you think you can handle the sheer volume, get the super cheeseburger.

El's also offers other burgers that you just won't find many other places.
The shrimp burger (shown) and the oyster burger cater to those craving seafood. And the pizza burger is a resounding "yes, please," for anyone craving pizza on a bun.
Be sure to leave room for one of El's Drive-In's famous milkshakes, though. But be forewarned: they're addicting!
One of North Carolina’s oldest restaurant establishments is a legendary stop everyone should experience at least once.
