    Farmers Omlete

    I'm usually very happy with Elmer's but disappointed this time. Farmers omelet had little or no cheese, hard to eat because it "fell apart" and I had to stab the small pieces with the fork to eat- very dry. Mom was unhappy with the gravy on her biscuits. The service was great as usually, very accommodating and fast. Wasn't a deal breaker, we will be back but not for a while. Avoid the dishes with gravy! Restaurant was clean too.

    This is a close to home cooking here. The service here was great and old soul type of feel to it

    Over-easy eggs, hash browns with cheese, biscuit and bacon.

    Decent food. Friendly servers, clean space. Nice to see restaurants busy again. Despite it seeming crowded, we were seated quickly. The menu is huge, plenty of typical American breakfast food. I'm guessing the variety probably slows the kitchen down but it's nice for groups who have people with very different breakfast / brunch cravings. I had a breakfast with hash browns, two over-easy eggs, and bacon. I can't say it was outstanding but also no real complaints. Volume was on the louder side. The hash browns are a thicker cut, almost like home fries, and just a hint on the undercooked side. The cheese was mixed in rather than melted over the top like most places do (I prefer the melted over the top method for maximum cheesiness). Eggs were right, bacon was crispy per my request. Coffee was very strong and very dark - not a great flavor but it keeps the caffeine headache at bay. Overall this is a nice place for breakfast if you aren't looking for something fancy and just want to sit down and have comfort food.

    Breakfast!

    Loved this place. First time ever I have been to an Elmer's. And it did not disappoint. I got there special that was listed on the table. Divine!!! It took me back to the classic German crepes my dad had made me. I can see why this place is popular. And I would love to go again!

    My order was half ranch breakfast with one egg, extra crispy hash brown, crispy bacon with biscuit. Everything was done as I asked. Biscuit was ok, on dry side. The other order was avocado egg Benedict with side of pancake. She enjoyed her food. Service was good.

    This place has poisoned me twice(yes, I'm sure it was from eating there), never going back. I'm surprised it stays in business.

    When you have good food and good service, you have a great time…read more Sometimes tragic beings family together. We just wanted something to erase that. This place does it. It's a nice family atmosphere here. I just felt welcome the min I came in. The simple decoration with messages written on a black board gave the place a homely feel. The friendly welcome I got from all the staff and the food. The menu made me think with I wanted. And the portions made me regret what I ordered. Not really I regretted I didn't have a bigger stomach. ;) There was no way I could finish my food in one setting. I got good old biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. I feel I got a potful of sausage and gravy instead of a ladleful. I couldn't find my biscuits for a few seconds. I also got a side order of sausage. Yea it was too much. Overall five stars. Great tasting stick to your bones meal. Even when it's reheated. The service was on the spot. She worked hard and kept smiling the whole time. And for the price well, well, WELL worth it.

    I took my son for breakfast, we hadn't been here for a long time. I was extemely disappointed in…read morethe quality of the food. Had chicken fried steak half order for $20+ just a few bucks less then the full order. The chicken fried steak was tough and old, the eggs anything but fluffy and skimpy on the hash browns. Not at all what it used to be. If you haven't been for awhile I would not recommend going and we will probably not be back again. I will say our waitress did a fine job however.

    Our friends highly recommended this spot so we made a point to stop here on our way into Portland…read more The scenery was beautiful surrounding the drive-in, which also has some indoor and patio seating. They have a nice big parking lot and it was free to park when we went on a Monday. There is a trail and playground nearby so it was nice to enjoy our ice cream after over there. I loved how they had coloring pages and crayons at the counter for the kids to kill some time while waiting for the food! I loved that they had some Asian inspired flavors on the menu which I was not expecting! I kept it simple with a grilled cheese which they serve on a waffle and I also added pulled pork for a small upcharge. The tomato soup pairing was so delicious and it was such a comforting meal in the foggy overcast weather. For dessert, we tried the rainbow brite seasonal sundae, which had these ripe mangoes and ube swirl inside. It was so cute with the little rainbow jellies! The vanilla soft serve itself was really good so I think I would've been happy whether it was a plain sundae or completely loaded like this one. We also tried the guava cheesecake cookie, which was huge and I loved the guava cheesecake filling. Sugarpine did not disappoint and it definitely lived up to the hype. It's a little bit outside of Portland, but definitely worth the drive for the scenery and the food!

    Food: The regular price of their sundaes are about $10 but really $12 once you include the 20% tax…read more The flavors were good though. We had the Chery Colada parfait which was a vanilla with cherry and pineapple and the Once in a Blue Moon which is a blueberry ube mix. The cuban pork and boriqua bbq chicken sandwhiches were approx $18/$22 with tax and $17/$21. So you can easily spend over $100 for a family of 4 stopping for lunch. No judgement, just letting you know what to expect and you can decide if it's worth it for you. Service: Non existent in the sense that you stand in line order at a window and seat yourself if you can find a spot, your food comes up at a window, and you throw your own trash out afterwards, but they charge you 20% extra on every items. Why not just raise your prices 20% and put a sign that says no tips? I guess employees would earn more money when it's busy on a Sunday but make less when its slow? To each his own. I'm just letting you know what to expect. Ambiance: It's a walk up sanwhich and soft serve ice cream food place in a great location by the Sandy river. We came on a Sunday and it happened to be their Anniversary celebration so they had a dj and they were doing a collab with some burger place. On this day, it was either pulled pork or bbq chicken sandwhich options or the burgers and the sign said food could take as long as 55 minutes in addition to the line that was over 30-45min long. So we opted for their sundae specials for $8 and burgers because we assumed the burgers would be cooked faster while we were still in line for the ice cream. But NO! Despite no line and nothing being cooked when we ordered, the burgers weren't ready until long after we got our ice creams and finished. Burgers were actually a bargain! Only $48 for 3. So that was only $16 each. Parking was awful. Seating was not much better, we were able to find a table to share with others. I had been wanting to come here for years seeing them on IG and here on yelp but don't make it out to Troutdale very often. So I was happy to finally try them out. Unfortunately I don't know if it is always a 1-2hr commitment. I probably wouldnt make a trip just to come here, but if you are on the Sandy river next door, an ice cream to share is probably not a bad deal.

    - SHOCKINGLY EXPENSIVE FOR A HOLE IN THE WALL- We only…read morestopped in for drinks, and... whoo boy... ladies and gentlemen, we were charged $42 for TWO drinks. Yep Two. And they were ridiculously SIMPLE drinks, at that. A double White Russian and double Vodka & Soda, both with mid-shelf vodka. Listen, I have owned a restaurant with a bar, and that is just mind-bendingly expensive. Maybe you're in a different tax bracket than we are, but we do pretty well, and yet I was absolutely stunned when the check came. I can guarantee you this: we are 100% never returning.

The inside…read moreis the rest of a giant amazing restaurant/pool hall/poker machine/live entertainment/dancing fun place. The staff are very good. The bar staff in particular are very friendly and helpful. The food server are super on the ball and they played everything really well from the kitchen, reasonable prices and lots of room no matter what you want to do. I recommend sitting closer to the stage in case you feel like dancing, but there's lots to do regardless to pool table areas comfortable restaurant booths if that's all you're interested in, but after the Restaurant closes the bar and entertainment areas are open during the day. Everything is available generally it's very impressive. There wasn't a dirty spot in the entire place. The kitchen staff was not able to pick up Used food plates very quickly but only because they were super busy. I would've bust my own dishes to help. Had I seen somewhere to put them lots of good food to choose from parking was easier than I thought really an impressive place. If you're not sure what to do. This is the perfect solution. There's a little bit of everything. Listen to live music and throw a couple of bucks in a poker machine or grab some quarters and play pool, relax and eat or shake your booty and bring a smile to your face no matter what they have it here it is casual dress, and it doesn't cost a fortune to eat here very competitively priced highly recommend
