Good. This location was my go to after church or when I would find myself in the city for the weekend. The fries are great and the burritos are good but some things here just seem different after changing management. The inside of this location is the exact same. Different faces at the front counter but just a few differences. Ambiance is very much so a lunch counter vibe. read more

Have been coming to Elmer's since early 2000's. The building has changed, but food and friendliness of staff has stayed the same. Can't go wrong with a baby burger with cheese, a cherry Dr. Pepper with cherries in it and their cheese sticks! All of their menu is great. Excited they're finally getting a drive thru! read more

One of the local spots that has the best season fries. They used to not have any milkshakes but I guess they brought them back. But they switched to these clear cups now I don't know why but I prefer the old school way in the styrofoam cup. It's still always a hit when you come here never had an order get mess up or wrong. read more

Best chicken sandwich and fries. Love this place. I stop by whenever I'm in town. I usually order ahead of time and pick up my order.

If you grew up in Delano, you know Elmer's is the best burger spot! From their prices, to their menu, you can't go wrong. Been getting a baby burger meal since I was a kid and it still hits the spot years later! Employees are always friendly and it's a family owned business. Small location but this gem is one that you should definitely visit if you're wanting a good burger and fries! read more

Pretty good burger! Got the #4 combo which had pickles, pastrami, and two patties! I asked for grilled onions instead of the whole raw onion and they happily obliged! I wish there was more pastrami though. You couldn't even see it in my photo below. I was filled up with this one. Service was prompt and the value's worth it. The place is really small if you felt like dining in, so they definitely are better suited as a quick grab and go spot. read more

I have been coming to Elmer's since I was a teenager. This was one of the spots to go to for lunch when I was in HS at DHS and a lot has changed from the inside. They've had some upgrades, but inside is a tight squeeze and there's not too many seatings inside and they removed the tables outside. Don't be fooled by the small building, the food is yummy! This place always brings me back to my childhood and will always have a place in my heart... errrr ummmm stomach. Don't laugh at me, but I always get the kids meal cheeseburger because I don't know what kid can finish that meal. They actually give you a lot of food and if I order the regular meals then I'll waste a lot of food. From my understanding, this is a family owned restaurant. They don't take long to make your food and it's always fresh and delicious. I rather eat a burger here then one of those chain restaurants. I'm happy to see that Elmer's is still up and running til this day. If you haven't been, you need to check it out. read more

Always hits the spot. Baby burgers you need to try. Me and family love this place. When traveling we have to stop for some food.

Elmers has always been one of my favorite burger places in Delano. They have great options and prices, and the people who work here are always nice. I love ordering the baby burger it's a perfect size not to big. When I'm feeling extra hungry I love the bacon cheeseburger, and their tacos are pretty yummy also. This place also has some really good ranch! Idk why but it's my favorite! It goes perfect with the chicken strips! Try this place out you won't regret it! Oh also don't forget the banana milk shake! read more

What can I say, Elmers has been a staple in Delano forever! I love their burgers, and their fries are the best ever! I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a good burger and fries. read more

Man this place changed now. No chicken dinners, no avocado burgers, no shakes? My reason for down grading them is mostly because I ordered a 4 piece chicken dinner and the young lady puts in an order for chicken tenders. I mean I still took it, but at least tell me you guys are no longer serving Chicken dinners. The food is still good thou. read more

Elmer's has changed alot since I was a kid,it's still good but not like it was back in the days

I grew up coming to Delano regularly! It's been a while since I've had a pastrami sandwich from here but it was delicious! One thing I want to make everyone aware of is that when you go make sure you call and order ahead! This isn't your typical drive thru window. You cannot place orders at the drive thru window you can only pick food orders up. During lunch they have quite a long line so make sure to anticipate that. We were only quoted a 10 minute wait on the phone and ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes in line to receive our order. Other than the pastrami sandwich we got fries, zucchini fries, and jalapeño poppers. I'm usually a zucchini fry fanatic but my favorite side dish from here was definitely their crinkle cut fries dipped in ranch. The fries were perfectly seasoned and SO crispy. I personally felt like the zucchini had too heavy of a breading which makes it difficult for me to enjoy. The jalapeño poppers were also delicious but nothing special. The pastrami stayed the star of the show. This was a HUGE sandwich and was perfect for 2 people to share. The meat is perfectly seasoned and not overly salty at all. The bread tasted so fresh, perfectly soft, and very buttery. I would definitely come back again and would recommend this place to anyone driving through the town. The location is also pretty awesome because it's pretty close to the freeway and would make a quick stop. read more

First time visitors ... we enjoyed grill cheese meal and chicken salad ..,fast service and good food

I was craving a Texas burger from Elmer's so I ordered the combo and I was really disappointed!!! The patty was as thin as a ritz cracker and for the price it wasn't even worth it!!! I won't be ordering from this establishment anymore. read more

Come hungry, leave happy. Oh, and full. What can I say? Elmer's is another Delano staple. I've been to Elmer's hundreds (!! okay...tens) of times time I was kid. While visiting my family in Delano, my mom decided to treat my husband and me to a meal at Elmer's. Still quick, still fresh, still great. I love the seasoned fries, the dirty sodas (sodas with vanilla or cherry flavoring), the fried burritos, the baby burgers, the cheese sticks, the chicken salads, the chicken dinners...I LOVE ELMER'S! Don't be fooled by the size and location. Elmer's packs a punch, and you won't be disappointed. read more

One thing about Elmers is that it never disappoints me when I'm craving a good burger!

Great fast food place. Baby burger and Fries are perfect. Chicken salad is my daughters favorite. It's my go to when craving fast food.

I came here and tried their burgers w pastrami and it was delicious. I really recommend it . My barber was the one who told me about this place and it didn't disappoint read more

Drive thru is for pick up orders only, so, you're in and out quickly. Food is always delicious

Great service, yummy burger and excellent value. We got the family burger deal for 4.

This place is not over rated. I have been coming here since high school and it's still as good as I remember. Now that I have enough money to buy a decent meal instead of that high school income, I am able to try more meals from here. I absolutely love the chicken dinner & chicken strip dinner. I am also a fan of the hamburgers. Simple but so tasty & reasonably priced! read more

The cheeseburgers are amazing and the fries to I totally recommend this place I been going here for 5 years and I still love it.

very bad employees they have a worker named isabelle or Bella I believe who's very rude and unprofessional. I made a police report but I didnt know her name at the time & I called back & she continued to hang up & be rude to me . read more

Tbh I never give five stars but Mom & Pop burger places like this just get me every time. The prices are not unreasonable, although they did charge me $1 to remove the bun and do a lettuce wrap which is disappointing and also shows poor customer service, which is the only reason I took off a star. To me, a 5-star experience and rating meets both food quality/taste as well as the customer service experience. Anyway, the food was divine, as it often is at these small burger joints. My SO got a western burger and fries which were good (in his opinion). They have DIET PEPSI and crush ice, so 10/10 will return...hopefully to not be gouged to simply remove a bun from a burger! read more

The food was basic and incorrect like any other burger spot . The girl taking orders must be in high school with her attitude. Nothing pleasing. A burger spot in a building that's falling apart. read more

A great stop off after gassing up before the haul up the mountain. Burgers were solid, portions generous and menu varied. One of my party got the pastrami sandwich and raved about it. The name 'drive in' had me thinking there would be seating out side but it's all inside so the dog couldn't join. We found enough parking for truck with trailer close by though. read more

This place has some memories for me, I've been eating here since a young teen and had some family work here at some points during my high school life. I grew up just north of Delano but spent majority of my time exploring the Delano streets and finding good eats even as a teenager, yup I was born to be a foodie! They have remodeled the joint, I honestly don't know when it happened but the inside is definitely different than I remember, a much cleaner somewhat modern look but still small. But what is most important is that their food quality has not, still the same good ole' burgers and fries (much more...) like I remember. In Bakersfield if you've ever been to Leo's Burgers, Frosty King, Foster Freeze, they have similar characteristics in the type of menu that Elmer's provides. In my opinion, the food tastes better here than Bakersfield, am I biased? No, not at all. They have numerous burgers, sandwiches (pastrami, chicken, etc), shrimp basket dinners, tacos, burritos (deep fried), mozzarella sticks, salads, so much good (fatty food) stuff. And they serve Pepsi, we all know Coke products are not winners like Pepsi, why not accompany your winning meal with a winning soda? Did you laugh? I'm didn't, Pepsi rules! My go to at any of these type of burger joints is a Pastrami Burger, well Elmer's offers it in a double! Yes heart clogging times two but if that makes you feel like you shouldn't do it, then why are you even at Elmer's? You are either all in or down the street at Subway, you make that call. I recently came and ordered this behemoth of a burger, look at my picture of it, patties so succulent, cheese oozing, and pastrami that is super moist, so much goodness bite after bite. The proportions for the pastrami is perfect that each bite is bursting with that good saltiness and the lettuce, tomatoes & pickles are fresh too. Crinkle cut fries with season salt, just the partner for this burger and you may think I'm a weirdo but I take their ranch and their packaged taco sauce and mix them together for a creamy spicy dipping sauce for my fries, you have to try it before you think I'm an absolute weirdo for it. They serve crinkle cut fries, one of the better type of fries in my opinion that go well with a burger other than possibly steak fries, Elmer's also has seasoned them well, never too salty, never bland. I have never also experienced under or overcooked fries here, which is always something I've encountered elsewhere. I also ordered mushrooms that are deep fried in batter, this time around I will have to say they did taste salty, but dip them into that creamy goodness called ranch and the balance returns, but I still have to knock them for it, a dip shouldn't have to bring order back into the food. The customer service has never disappointed even though the cashier changes every now and then, they usually hire high school kids to help provide them opportunities to work and make some money and it is near Delano High School so they can come straight to work after it. The establishment is owned by cousins if I recall correctly and they are usually the main cooks, some have left and started their own businesses but the oldest are still there. They are truly a staple of Delano, ask any Delanoan and one of their favorite spots will be Elmer's Drive-In on Cecil Avenue! read more

Man, the chili here hits the spot. I've had chili all over Kern and Fresno county with no luck. I'd expect good chili in these counties,but no luck until I found Elmer's. Good stuff Elmer's, good stuff. read more

Elmer's has been my favorite place to eat ever BUT lately their customer service has been horrible. Every time I go pick up my food in the drive thru the girls are so rude! They just seem like they don't wanna be there and you can definitely tell. Other than that I still love their food. read more

Elmer's Drive-ln is so good because they have everything and it is so good for families

Great burgers, I love getting the baby burgers with cheese. These shakes are one of the best in Delano. I get what I pay for, have never gotten skimped out on my fries. Love the new renovation, although it would be amazing if they got a drive through. That would definitely bring in more customers! read more

Probably the best burgers in town! The toppings are fresh. The sauce is good! Fries always come out piping hot! The employees are all so sweet. Their ranch is the bestttttttt! Can't leave without it. So many things set this place above the other "burger places" in town. read more

Good burger spot just like most here in town. Good deals and prices. I love their corn dogs.

My family and I love Elmer's! Food is great and all the other that is offered. We enjoy talking to the employees very friendly.

This place has really good customer service everyone there is nice. The restaurant is clean and comfortable to eat there. Although it gets packed once in a while, their service in pretty fast. They won't have you waiting for your food for more than 10 minutes. My favorite is there baby burger with their crispy fries it's delicious and they have really good meal deals. read more
