    German pancake
    Juan S.

    Visiting family in town and we stopped here for breakfast today. Had German pancake and it was good. Service was nice, we like nice family owned restaurants like this. Recommend to try out. Will stop in again next time.

    Every single time you come here you'll be greeted with a smile, a warm welcome and either a wait time or you're seated. I grew up coming here as a treat with my family, and still randomly take my mom for the nostalgia. The food is standard, nothing special but I've never had any complaints either. Cost has stayed low and it doesn't feel like most breakfast spots where they'll gouge you with a 60+ dollar bill for two breakfasts and juice. I think we ended up spending 38 or so before tip. I'd say the only reason I'm giving it a four star instead of five is cleanliness (in some aspects) and the decor. Our table was super sticky, but we could tell it was wiped down so it's whatever cleaning product they use. The cholula they brought us had food splattered on it; which was a little yuck. And also... it just hasn't changed! The decor feels old, it's worn out, it's a bit odd. But if you're looking for something solid, cost effective and a friendly atmosphere I recommend coming here!

    my goodness, when did this Elmer's get so South? Sometimes you have a bad expereince and think "well I'am not coming back here again". This was so bad I feel like I need more, like a refund.... We have not been here in years, so we thought why not have some breakfast for dinner? ENVIRONMENT-When we entered we realized that this is the Elmer's time forgot... it looks right out of the 80's, right down to the founders picture in the foyer. it started with a wide open restaurant, with 4 tables filled, yet we were placed in a booth that was backing another couple, next to the kitchen and right by the bathroom entrance. PRICE-Then the sticker shock set in when we saw the menu prices. 15-17 dollars for basic breakfast faire. 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and biscuit, 15.99. my basic cheese and ham omelet, 15.99. My wife had a single strawberry waffle, and a coffee, nothing else, 15.99.... wow. FOOD- When I started into my omelet, it tasted odd, and I was getting a reaction to the ham, like an allergy. so I moved to the hash browns. they stated out crunchy, then became soggy and wet, like they were not cooked all the way. So I went after the biscuit, which was dried out and brittle... SERVICE- it started out great, my wife had a coffee refill quickly, our order was taken, and the food arrived quickly. Then we were abandon... left to fin for ourselves. No water refill, no coffee refill, and no check.... our guy showed up briefly and grabbed our plates and spun around quickly and left as I was asking for a water refill. He NEVER came back with the check. We finally had enough and went to the counter, the hostess gave a big sigh when we had no check, then tracked down or seat and asked what we had. SAD, VERY SAD.

    Dutch babie combo

    Our breakfast combos were very tasty. French toast was a tad soggy on the corner but overall it was very good. (I guess I could have ask for the French I toast to be more on the well side) The Dutch babie did not disappoint. Two thumbs up on the service. We dined in on a Monday morning and there was not a large crowd.

    Omelette a la carte...plenty good.

    The place was packed on this rainy Saturday. We came in with a party of 12! They put together a nice location for us. Great coffee shop menu...we all had breakfast. I do love myself a coffee shop. Apparently they have many locations in Oregon. Big plates, big portions and pro staff making sure everyone is getting what they need. Great job, I hope we tipped you well. LOL

    Looks like a donation drive.

    While this particular Elmer's isn't quite as good as the Beaverton one, the food is still as good. If I was invited, I wouldn't balk at going. Don't go to IHOP. Don't waste your money. Elmer's is much better than they EVER were!

    Pancakes were burnt. Hash browns tasted bitter from too old oil. Huge portions. I'd rather have quality than quantity.

[Format & Space] Seat yourself*, review the menus at the table, order at the bar, they bring your food and drinks to your table. *Plenty of tables, some with long benches, others with chairs on the inside. There's also a large patio. This is a welcome and safe space. [Drinks] Right up front, I'm going to tell you I'm a lightweight. I'm allergic to alcohol, so I don't drink often. Here's one of the things I love about The 649. They have a fantastic selection of mocktails that are created with the same creativity, flair, and intention as a "leaded" cocktail. I appreciate that I get to participate and not be stuck with a lemonade, zero alcohol beer, or wine. So, HUZZAH for creating an inviting space for a non-drinker! There *are* times when I'm willing to risk the lobster-bod, itchiness, and stuffy nose and there are plenty of cocktails from which to choose! [Food] There's a nice selection of sharable plates and mains. I've personally tried the flatbread pizza, Bavarian pretzel, Cubano, and Brisket Press, all of which were delish. [Service] The service has always been fabulous. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. [Activities] There are a few TVs around the bar with sports. It was a great place to catch some of the World Cup games. Additionally, there are several games that you can borrow and play, which is a lot of fun. [Location] Tucked in a busy shopping center with Safeway as an anchor. Parking hasn't been super problematic yet, but based on one of the other reviewers (Ron R - loved your formatting too, so I borrowed it until we get rich text formatting or emojis!) I can see where it could be a challenge.

For 4 people with 4 burgers (comes with salad and 3 pot stickers) and 4 sodas -- it was just over $100. This seems like a lot for a "fast food" type restaurant. The food was good, not great. I got the jalapeño popper burger, I guess I misread as I thought the jalapeño and cream cheese was inside. It was not, there was a large bacon wrapped jalapeño not he top. Otherwise a plain burger. Miss opportunity I thought. The Skippy burger was good -- but some bacon and a spicy sriracha or something would make it better, and less sweet. Chicken burger was good. Don't remember the 4th burger (sorry). I also wish they offered a different green -- they only have arugula which I do not enjoy -- so the salad did nothing for me. Pot stickers were great! Would try again if ever in the area.

It was quite an adventure of discovery! I was blown away by the quality of their food. I enjoyed their brews and food on many a cold, dark night outside, dressed in hat and coat, during those early days of Covid. I've been back a few times since then and just enjoyed another great meal. So it's time for an update! While I usually go for the Dubbel or the Grand Cru, this time I had the Imperial Stout and greatly enjoyed it. Also enjoyed another terrific Mazama burger. What struck me on day one and what continues to be true all these years later is the Excellence they demonstrate in everything they do. The beers are creative and first rate and are part of a long tradition. The food far exceeds typical pub fare. I usually have to trek to downtown PDX to find pub food of this quality. I greatly enjoy the Mazama burger. The Bavarian Pretzel is amazing. And the Donut Holes are terrific. They have a great menu full of small plates and entrees. I have my work cut out for me! They have a terrific modern space with plenty of tables (great for large groups) as well as a loungy area, a great bar, a window bar, and a terrific outside patio looking over the Jerry Willey plaza. Service has always been exceptional - considerate, kind, and personable. I'm grateful to be able to walk to such a great place. There is also plenty of street parking and a garage with free parking for those traveling over here. And they're a block away from the MAX stop. It's well worth the trip!
