restaurant recommendations

<p>Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations for Elon. ( nothing too fancy, but something different than the usual chain restaurants. )</p>

<p>I like to go to the Sidetrack Grill (just down the street, a short walk) with my S and Wife whenever we just want to sit and say hello over good food in a comfortable atmosphere. Sorry about the cold weather this upcoming week… But it should still be better than up north…</p>

<p>Also from what I remember about fellows weekend, your student will most likely be informally meeting with other candidates at your (or a nearby) hotel lobby at night. It’s a great chance to make some first friends. So don’t expect that they will want to spend the evening having a quiet dinner with the dear old parents… No two students are the same so who knows but mine loving asked to ditch me…</p>

<p>Dining in nearby Burlington gets you chain franchises for the most part, however whenever I’ve visit my DSs over the past few years we’ve had excellent meals (atmosphere + good food) at these two local gems, a 5-10 minute drive from campus…</p>

<p>$$ Sal’s Italian - 402 Huffman Mill Rd (casual)
$$$ Chop House Grille - 710 Huffman Mill Rd (semi upscale)</p>

<p>Thanks for the recommendations everyone.</p>

<p>The Chop House is closed, but there is another restaurant in its place that is just as good.</p>
