Did you know we have a Chicken Filet Sandwich? Available in regular or spicy.

It’s a great alternative if you’re looking for something different than the usual burger.

Order it all the way with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise—or customize it with your favorite toppings.

"First time to El’s. No I didn’t look at the internet, just knew by the hundreds that have spoke of this establishment. So here I go, I walk to the building, open the door and realize that’s not how it’s done. I was greeted with kindness, my order was taken and learned how it’s done. Not only great food but delivered with kindness. Highly recommend." says Yvonne on Google

Small Town USA.

It’s the places where people know your name, where traditions are passed down from one generation to the next, and where memories are made around something as simple as a shrimp burger and fries.

As America celebrates 250 years this Independence Day, we’re reminded that it’s small towns and places like ours all across the country that make this nation so special.

Since 1959, El’s Drive-In has been a North Carolina tradition, where generations of families have made memories—from summer beach trips and Little League celebrations to grandparents bringing their grandkids for the very first time.

We invite you to come experience a little piece of Small Town USA. 🇺🇸❤️
