I wouldn't recommend eating here unless you want to have hair in your food, people are coughing and sneezing in the kitchen this is one of the worst Elmer's I've ever been too someone needs to fix this place and the workers here. read more

Food was good but nothing exciting. The hashbrowns were a little off, naybe burnt. Steak though small was cooked decent so that's a plus. Wait staff was nice enough, and they were understandably busy being as how it was noon, yet we still waited awhile. Not much to complain about but also nothing notable read more

We have always enjoyed food at Elmer's,but our first time at this location! The waitress was really nice , no complaint's! We both ordered breakfast food and coffee which both was just warm! The coffee was an unreasonable price @ $2.69 a cup!! The cashier was less than friendly. I will never go there again or recommend them to friends. We will return to the Elmer's on Stark Street in Portland! Elmer's is a great restaurant in general!!! read more

How can I politely say the food will make a turd? We entered at 8:30 not knowing they closed at 9 - that salad was an amazing mix of head lettuce and three or six strands of carrot at "extra $4" and the food was not ready to be served when we got the bare bones meals we ordered. Boo on you Elmers! read more

In general I love Elmer's but this location was a disappointment. We were seated in the far back next to a kitchen door even though there were many other open tables closer up. The server took well over 10 minutes to even get to us even though our menus were down to show we were ready. I'm not sure if it was because we had a small child, or because I had a coupon for my birthday free meal, but I will not be back to This Elmer's. The one on Sandy is much better read more

This is one of our favorite breakfast restaurants. Mr Elmer's Favorite omlett is one of my favorites along with their Acacado Eggs Benedict with Canadian Bacon added. When we leave town we always try to start our day/trip with breakfast here. Ask to have Ruth as your server. She is the best. read more

We love going to Elmers in Clackamas . We take the family, or the family takes us. Everything smells so good even from outside. I have so many favorites, omelettes, eggs Benedict, eggs and hash browns, and fantastic pancakes. Our grand sons like the chocolate chip pancakes and the German pancake. We adore the staff. And it is so clean. We also do take away. The hot food is hot and the cold food is cold. Couldn't ask for more. read more

Came in by myself waited at least 10 minutes after being sat, no one greeted me. I had my order ready so I decided to go over to the lounge where every single table was dirty and the only one clean was broken. I never actually got to try the food. A server walked by but didn't acknowledge me, even a "I'll be right with you" would've sufficed. read more

Where do I start, run away from the prime rib. The wife loved her burger so that's a win. Our son had chicken strips and they where flatter than a fillet of fish. And my prime rib was the most unique piece of meat I ever had. And by unique I mean it was not enjoyable. I've ate my weight in prime ribs but this one please run away from... Three stars cause the staff of nice and like I said the wife loved her burger... read more

This location is one of the nicest Elmer's Restaurants around. Very clean surroundings, immediately greeted at entrance, seated quickly, prompt service, the waitress was a veteran and spot on, food was aesthetically pleasing as well as delicious and our experience from our arrival until departure was pleasant. We primarily go for breakfast as they hit the ball out of the park when it comes to all breakfast items. The potato pancakes, and omelettes are our favorites. The menu items are locally sourced. read more

Went there this morning with some friends. It was very good and was a great value. We have had food at Elmers before based on recommendations from somebody who loves their breakfasts. It was packed, which is always a good sign. I had the ranch breakfast and my wife ordered the BLT. I have been to the one in Vancouver which is a little newer location. read more

Elmer's Restaurant - Ranch breakfast... - Diners Near Me - Clackamas, Oregon

Service great from Tara, food was great and my strawberry margarita was perfect! Setting this for my favorite place.

The best family homestyle restaurant around. Casual dining and great food. Portions are huge! Pricing is what I consider on the low side, considering how much food is tabled. Quality is consistent time after time. My only complaint is the wait staff, have never been friendly and it's more common than not to have to ask for things repeatedly. But it's totally worth it!! read more

Three of us decided to come to Elmer's on short notice. We came in and we're seated immediately. The staff was very friendly, and we were pleasantly surprised at how fast our food came! We got two different omelettes, pancakes, and then a two egg breakfast. The portions were large enough to get stuffed on and the food was very fresh, and could tell they made it right then and there! Would recommend this Elmer's to anyone! read more

Great curb appeal. Clean, cozy, friendly... The perfect down home vibe. The staff is very kind and professional. Did a job dealing with covid-19 while still keeping a welcoming feel. read more

Pretty disappointing. I ordered a to go order of prime rib- medium, and it came so well done I think it was cooked several days ago! And it is not like it was cheap- $21.99. Came with overlooked veggies, an overlooked baked potato, A boring salad with stale croutons and 2 onion rings that were actually the best part of the dinner. Would rather have less food that is better. I had hoped for better, guess I will go elsewhere next time. read more

The worst breakfast I have ever had. But then again if you like cold fried eggs, sausages, and hashbrowns that leave a greasy taste after the first bite then it is the place for you. Oh and I also ordered biscuit and gravy that I was so longing for and it was terrible, gravy just warm and biscuit tough. The waitress offered to take it back and warm it...yuk for sure. The place rally needs a big face lift, dark and the decor looks like it came from goodwill or needs to go back there. For our terrible cold breakfast that we could not enjoy and eat they gave us free coffee.lol. We for sure will not be going back. read more

I've eaten at elmers before and it was never that bad. Horrible tasting and smelling tomatoes. Bland omelette's (we ordered Willamete), hashbrowns... it took two bites for us to get up and leave. They didn't even ask us how it was. Disgusting!!! read more

I'm typing this while sitting in a booth in the currently un-used side of the restaurant. We arrived at 6am when the doors opened. It is now 1:33pm. We'd hoped to be back on the road home by noon. The wonderful early morning staff here welcomed us, had empathy for our plight (truck being fixed nearby and no where to wait at the garage) and never once approached us with an eye towards getting us to order more or leave. Technically this is our 3rd visit today as we didn't want to roost here, underfoot without eating and we couldn't eat ALL day long. The two breakfasts we've had were yummy. Eggs Benedict (Hollandaise could've used a lot more lemon but that's just our taste), waffles, eggs over easy, German pancake (bigger than you'd think. share one). When we came back it was tea, cream of chicken soup with rice and an appetizer sampler platter. Warming, filling and .. not once did Cassie or the other lovely women make us feel bad for taking up space. We hope to be out of their hair soon, and will send a nice thank you gift once we get home. In the meantime, if you're in the area, stop by. Especially in the wee hours (ok, 6, 7, 8am aren't that 'wee') and meet the best batch of waitresses in OR! While you're at it, enjoy some food. Elmer's cooks do not disappoint ... except for the Hollandaise, as I said, but that's just us. read more

I have visited this restaurant a few times with large groups. Parking was great. The food was good, great choices. The prices are reasonable. They had a back room where we could all sit together and were patient with our group. I highly recommend Elmers! read more

The chicken fried steak is amazing, so tender you can cut it with a fork! My eggs were ordered over-easy and to my surprise they were perfectly cooked, its difficult to get over-easy eggs that aren't over cooked. The hashbrowns are cut with thick shreds and because of that they don't stick together as thin shredded hashbrowns normally do. Made it an adventure in its self to eat them. I also ordered a hot chocolate without whipped cream and it was really good, wasn't scalding hot so I could sip immediatly and wasn't overly sweet like the powdered hot cocoa packets usually are. Overall, the meal was delicious and I will come here again for breakfast! read more

Constipated? Can't poop? Eat the clam chowder here. My daughter and I were pooping fire water for 3 days. Not to mention very uncomfortable cramping and abdominal pain. My first time here and won't be back. read more

Every where on the Monday of Labor Day weekend was slammed. We only had to wait a few minutes for a table at Elmers. We were already nearby to grab some coffee and wanted a quick late breakfast and this did the job. The staff was very friendly and the food was pretty tasty. My only complaint is that it took a long time for anyone to finally make it over to the table and then it took a while for the food. I would consider stopping in here again for a basic breakfast for sure. read more

We had lunch here today ( Wednesday) and our server Kamay was the very best! Very friendly and fast service! I would have given 5 stars however the other server was anything but helpful to her customers. Very happy we did not get her. read more

I always enjoy the food when I go to Elmer's. I normally go for breakfast and get the German pancake and it never disappoints. The prices are fair and the coffee is actually pretty good. read more

Very nice waitress, but food not so nice. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet with pancakes. Omelet had next to no cheese and very salty tasting ham.. also very small. I compare all omelets to Hales which are close to twice as big and loaded with ingredients for the same price. Drive the few extra miles to Hales on McLoughlin blvd. . read more

Yummy food and sweetest staff!! The hostesses saw one of my girls get a stuffed animal from the claw toy machine and no matter how hard we tried we couldn't get one for our other girl. The hostess watched and before we left, they got another toy from the machine for our other daughter! So so sweet!! It's the little things like that, that make a impact read more

Love the blueberry pancakes. Elmer's never disappoints for breakfast. A go-to place when we are in a hurry.

I've eaten at this location twice...once for breakfast and then lunch about 3 weeks ago. I don't recall what I had for breakfast as it was about 3 1/2 years ago. However, my Cobb salad was excellent. It was surprisingly generous in size...didn't expect that. It had all the usual items - nice chunks of chicken and delicious bacon...oh and the bleu cheese...two thumbs up! I was so impressed I think the hubby and I will visit tomorrow for dinner. I'm craving that Cobb salad. The restaurant is quite large, very clean and comfy. The service is good and everyone seemed very friendly. The menu looks good. Breakfast is definitely their thing and served all day. The burgers and sandwiches sound yummy and I hope to try one sometime. I'd definitely rate this place well above Denny's and Shari's...that's a no-brainer! read more

It's a good meal at a fair price. I had the hazelnut crusted Alaskan cod with a baked potato and cup of clam chowder. a very tasty meal. service could have been a little quicker but overall satisfied. oh yeah, the cheese bread served with the chowder was great. read more

I loved my breakfast! My over medium eggs were cooked perfect! I tried a German pancake for the first time and it was huge! Ate only about 1/3 but loved it with lemon and powdered sugar. Hubby's breakfast was great too. Service prompt! My man liked the coffee too. Great value for a rare treat out! read more

We had just flown into PDX airport and were looking for a local restaurant on our way south. Seeing the Yelp reviews sent us to this place. GOOD DECISION! We were greeted kindly and seated promptly. Our orders were taken quickly. The waitress made a point to visit with us and shared some information about the restaurant's history and well as some travel tips. Sweet. The food was very tasty and well prepared. The decor was simple and perhaps a little old. We'd go back if we were in the area again. read more

I don't write many reviews but felt the need to let everyone know how much I enjoyed this branch of Elmer's. I went two days in a row. The first time I had the classic bacon & egg breakfast and the second time a German pancake. The food was fantastic as was the service even thought the place was heaving. I highly recommend Elmer's to anyone who wants great food at good prices served up by lovely staff who seem to genuinely enjoy working there. Go and see for yourself. read more

I usually visit this location because it's nearest to me and convenient for holidays to meet family The food is usually always good but my issue it that it's luke warm at best like as if they serve you food that's been pre cooked and sitting around..For a place as busy as it is and the length of time waiting for food I'd expect it to way warmer read more

The german pancakes are amazing, as is the service. However, the floor needs a deep cleaning, and the tiles a good scrubbing.

This place is great! It's my second time coming and it definitely won't be my last. This place is so cute, the wait staff are so friendly and helpful and the foods great! Definitely give it a shot :) read more

Quickly seated at a clean booth. Hostess brought us our drinks, waitress helped with meal, follow up and coffee refills. Another women cleared and visited with us. Our food was pretty good. We will be back ! read more

Step back into 1980 when entering this establishment. I kinda knew what to expect and staff was friendly, but this place was dirty!!! I now know why they keep it dark inside. Dirty floors, Dirty table and even a dirty plate. read more

I have been coming here for 20 years consistent service and quality food. My family favorite is the German pancake - yum!
