Had breakfast here today...Strawberry Crepes...excellent. Our server was Heather. Service was great. This was my 1st time in Elmer's & I will definitely go back!
Eating breakfast with superhero masks!! There was no wait at 7am. Our waitress was prompt and got our drinks quickly.
Elmer's delivered a memorable breakfast with their standout Chicken Fried Steak bowls, making it a must-visit in Oregon. The ambiance was warm and inviting, enhanced by exceptional service. The Chicken Fried Steak was tender and flavorful, smothered in a rich, savory gravy and paired with perfectly seasoned potatoes. Each bite was a comforting nod to classic homestyle cooking. For anyone craving a hearty, satisfying breakfast, Elmer's hits the spot with great food and genuine hospitality.
The wait staff was great and recommended an item that we've never had, was pleasantly surprised by both the dish and customer service, would highly recommend this local and Toni as she's great and deserves a raise!! Thanks Elmers
The food was great & came out hot. The server was pretty good for the most part, but hard to get a hold to ask for things.
Great service, with super friendly and efficient staff. Very family friendly atmosphere, large tables available, and very big space overall, so our group of 6 had no more than a five minute wait on a weekend brunch. The food was good with a lot of options and customization available — vegetarian friendly! Everything was well-cooked, nothing exceptional, but good. Scrambled eggs were soft and well done. We really enjoyed the cinnamon swirl pancakes! The servings were huge, but you can request mains a-la-carte if you’re not looking for a big combo meal. The potato pancakes were ok, but were tough to eat as the potato was thinly sliced hash brown pieces, and fell apart as you lifted it on the fork. Plenty of parking available around the premises, and clean bathrooms adjoined to the space.
I have been here three times now. Always pleasent. Staff is nice. Food is good. I am diet restrictive, you might not see options on the menu but you can always ask. Waitress tries to find the cheapest option for me.
Probably some of the best service we’ve had in a while. Food came out quick, waitress was extremely polite, and food was delicious! Must we ask for anything else??
Our experience was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and pleasantly helpful, and Alicia helped make our visit especially enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!
My family went to Elmer's for Mother's Day, and although it was extremely busy, we received excellent service and food. I appreciated the fact that a very friendly staff member was in the entryway taking down our names and putting us in line. I always order the German pancake; so did my daughters, and it tasted fabulous. My hubby got the Farmer's Omelet, which was also very good. Special shout-out to Tara, our amazing server. She was kept very busy, but never lost her smile and friendliness, and her service was excellent. She's a wonderful asset to your business and I hope she's our server next time we come in. We also appreciated the fact that the women in our party got roses to celebrate the day. Thank you so much!
