Who doesn't love a tasty weekend breakfast? Elmer's is a local chain that always delivers tasty food and makes for a great start to ANY day. My family and I have eaten at Elmer's for years and it's always a solid choice. Elmer's offers typical breakfast fare such as pancakes, French toast, eggs, omelettes, etc. For breakfast, one of their specialties is a German pancake. (Definitely produces that "wow" factor when brought to the table). Lines can get long here on the weekends. If you can get here early, you should be able to be seated right away. Show up after 930/10 and you'll be in the lobby or outside for some time. Today we ordered the French toast combo with scrambled eggs and sausage links (me), and a Mr Elmer's omelette with hashbrowns and a side of crispy bacon (my husband). I love their French toast as it's thick and a bit crunchy. I choose to use butter and powder sugar instead of syrup. Sausage and eggs are great, nothing special. The omelette combo was also great and went well with a mimosa. It's nice to get tasty, consistent food when you order at a restaurant. read more

Five stars because they serve the breakfast food I like. Crepes, good hot coffee that doesn't cost $7, and good service as you would expect from a hard working waitress trying to make a living. Always clean and comfortable environment. read more

Outstanding service, very quick fulfillment of order. Even when the place was packed during holiday season. Nothing but good things from here. Great food and exceptional staff! read more

I'm dealing with an illness, so I can't eat much, so when a friend and I came for lunch, we ordered the Prime Rib Dip sandwich to split. this did not disappoint, asking for an extra plate, we were rewarded with two half sandwiches W/ fries, and Au Jus. I was pleased with the food, TOP NOTCH! Service was also great, we made sure to tell Keven, the manager on duty how much we enjoyed the food, and mention the high level service too. well worth a visit. they have Breakfast Lunch and Dinner, the whole menu looks great. plenty of parking, read more

We love Elmers. The food and service is consistent and the price is fair. We had two mimosas each and entrees for less than $100 with tip. It's not a trendy spot but if you're looking for quality food at a very reasonable price point this is your place! read more

Carpets are a little faded, maintenance is lacking somewhat but the food was really good! We waited for about 20 minutes. It wasn't packed nor crowded due to a shortage of available wait staff. Once seated, we ordered and had our food in less than 20 minutes. Very friendly waiter and they knew all the options available on the menu for Plant Based diets. Most of us got a breakfast platter. All the food came out hot and was very flavorful. They were very willing to accommodate my dietary requests for plants only and no oil. Would definitely return here again when in the area. read more

Went today with my mom and family friends. I saw a tiktok of the German pancake and I needed it in my life lol. We ordered the crab Benedicts, strawberry German pancake, triple berry crepes and rancher breakfast. Waiter was super nice and helpful in recommendations for sides and add ons. We will def come back read more

The Van Mall location closed, thankfully this one isn't too far from us. Partner and I took the kids for breakfast on a Sunday morning and we were seated quickly, surprisingly since it was past 9. I always get a Bloody Mary when we come here, it's delicious and flavorful , and was possibly the greatest reason for our visit on this particular day lol. Teenager got the standard bacon and eggs aka the Ranch Breakfast, loved that the eggs were cooked perfectly. 7 year old got chocolate chip pancakes, of course, and as usual, they were "the best". Partner and I each got the signature omelet Looking for the Sun which comes with a fresh baked biscuit. It's a really good omelet, gooey Jack and cheddar with smoky chipotle bacon (lots of it!), fresh salsa, sour cream, and avocado. We also added the works to our hasbrowns, mmm!! Oh, and not to be outdone, we ordered and all shared the German Pancake which was covered in powdered sugar and fresh squeezed lemon juice, the pancake itself was so soft and had crunchy, crispy edges. Insert drool emoji here! read more

I was really pleasantly surprised at what a great meal we had here! We moved out of state where there aren't Elmer's so hadn't been in years but it was a convenient location to meet an old friend. Sara, first of all, was the best waitress I recall having (& I eat out a lot and am old). I made some changes to how I wanted my crepes plus wanted my hashbrowns super crunchy and got the best I've EVER had! I've had to send them back at several restaurants in the past even though had asked for them crunchy, so am hesitant to even order them any more. We were asked about refills frequently too. I could go on and on but the jest is I strongly recommend this Elmer's! read more

In Oregon for a wedding and wanted to find a local breakfast place. This was close to our Airbnb. Food was really good but five starts is mostly for the service. We were greeted by very friendly staff and then our service was top notch. We were checked on and never felt like we were unattended. Please get the German pancake. That thing is huge!! Delicious!! read more

I had the chicken fried steak and it was quite good. The potatoes were nice too. I ordered poached eggs and I guess I thought since Elmer's is one of the original breakfast restaurants, they would be able to properly poach an egg. Poached eggs should look like dry, white testicles. I didn't end up eating the eggs, but everything else was nice. read more

So I visited Elmer's today, and was toggling back and forth debating if I wanted to stick with my regular breakfast meal which is the Crabacado or French toast. After making my mind up I decided to go with my usual breakfast. Today was not a good day to pick.my favorite option. Now don't get me wrong Modesto or server was good and the food looked amazing as always, but when I went to take a bit of my omelet it was very fishy. I asked my mother to take a bite, maybe it was my taste buds were being extra sensitive Today. She also thought it taste pretty fishy. They didn't have a problem removing the item off my bill, but I didn't even get 5 mins down the road when my stomach started cramping and I became nauseous. I am so glad that it was only one bite, because if I would have ate the whole thing I would have been in real trouble. read more

This is long overdo. I have to say the breakfasts are yummy and the portions are huge. I cannot get enough of their potato pancakes. YUM! Put a little apple sauce on it and yum! Sour cream, yum. Apple sauce AND sour cream, even better! We arrived just before 8 AM and the server was so friendly and sweet. Goodness I wish I had gotten her name. My mother order the German Pancake. Have you seen those things? They are huge! She couldn't finish it but said it was delicious. I won't lie, I was worked because I saw it came with a lemon. Huh? But she said it was good. Thank you, Elmers, for the yummy food! 8.2019 read more

I really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is great, and their German pancake is to die for. The restaurant is clean, and welcoming.

We have decided never to return to Elmer's due to sanitation. We came for breakfast and witnessed servers bussing tables by picking up glasses by sticking their fingers into the glasses. This is gross and unsanitary especially because it's flu, cold, and covid season. I left a message pointing out my concern. I never heard back from them. We went back a second time and observed the same disgusting practice. I sent another message. This time I said we wouldn't be back. If that's the norm out front I can't even imagine how bad it is where customers can't see! read more

This is what I want from a local, sit down and be comfortable type diner. Man I am I ready to go back for some breakfast ya'll! Being a big guy living in Oklahoma I crave a great place to grab some big breakfast. The kind that'll get you through the day. I received that here for sure! Not only is the restaurant cozy and offers a ton of space and great service, the food I had was also top notch! I must say, there is now a warm spot in my heart for northwest hash browns. I didn't know that was at think until I ate here! They are normal hash browns but the potatoes are shredded super thick! It's like a warm blanket of delicious bliss with a slight crunch. I understand this is a local chain but you wouldn't know just by going into this spot. It's kinda tough to get in and out of, but if I an figure it out anybody else can. It's situated just off the interstate and next to a busy corner. Don't let that keep you from coming in and getting some amazing viddles. I'm willing to bet you'll leave satisfied and ready for the day! WOOT read more

It is a great place to have breakfast, good price and ok customer service. The price is Average as anything else!

Used to be our go to for a brunch type lazy Sunday. We loved the bloody Mary's. This last time the whole entire place smelled like burnt grease. All new staff and food was kinda cold. Besides that the drinks were not great. Deal breaker read more

Always a favorite local breakfast spot. Wide selection of menu items. Never a disappointed!

Ordered the fresh fruit waffle and it was amazing. The waffle was crispy and tender. The piles of fresh blueberries, strawberries and banana were surrounded by a big ring of whipped cream. Syrup was served on the side and I drizzled it on the whip cream and fruit. I'm a big fan of whipped cream and their balance was perfect for me. Actual waffle looks exactly like their menu picture. Enjoyed that and a vanilla latte. Fresh OJ eggs and sausage rounded out a decadent breakfast. read more

Good, but prices going up quickly and no longer really makes sense for what you pay. Bummer. read more

This place was practically empty when we walked in. We had a large party of 7. No problem getting seated. I ordered the strawberry Poppy seed chicken salad. It was delicious! Kind of an old fashioned place, but food was good. read more

I traveled to Washington for an event and went to the one in Mill Plain. This one is just as good as the one in Palm Springs, CA. The food, service, ambiance is great. Order the Crabacado or any omelette for that matter, and it does not disappoint. It is excellent. The pancakes and strawberry crepes are delicious. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat breakfast. read more

This is my "go-to" place for breakfast. Service is good; food and prices are good and the menu has a little something for everyone. I had one of their omelette's for breakfast and my wife had eggs, hash browns and bacon. Everything is very good but the German Pancake is a must try as are the potato pancakes. All their sandwiches are excellent, reasonably priced and huge. I'm not sure you can find much on the menu you'd send back...everything is good. It's a great place to take the kids or hit after church for brunch. So anyway, give the place a try, I know you won't be disappointed. read more

Dine in restaurant, great ambiance. Wait time was a good time, I'm not sure if we were there early or late but good timing. Because in Los Angeles takes 30-45 the least on a breakfast place like this. Anyways... service was great before they sit your they ask for you drink order and few minutes later your drinks come out. Food was great, hash brown inside eggs with cheese, bacon & sausage. Steak great flavor. Eggs Benedict were good, missing a little of the lemony flavor that we are used to the egg run so smooth when cutting it up. I would recommend this place 8.5/10. read more

I have been going to Elmer's for years, but lately the food has been served cold. The service I receive is pretty good. I don't want to sound like a Karen. However, you have one job to do and that is to get the food to your customers when it's hot, simple as that. I really will be rethinking going to Elmer's in the future. read more

This is a quantity over quality kind of place. The scrambled eggs have a weird texture and are flavorless. The pancakes and bacon are decent but nothing special. read more

First time in recently. Great breakfast place locally. Reminded us of Bob Evans on the east coast. Hope Maaika is your server. She was customer oriented and professional. She even gave us a welcome package. The food is varied with huge portions. We will return again and ask for Maaika. Would have been 5 stars if not for the wiff of the grill ambush as you come through the front. A must do in Vancouver read more

My family's and my breakfast was very good. Our order consisted of the Yukon French Toast, Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, and Crabacado omelette (my order). We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. My wife and daughter each gave me a bite of their's and I thought they were both quite good. Service was friendly and quick. Only knock I have is the art decorating the walls was quite laden with dust. The dining room probably could have been a little cleaner. Otherwise a very nice place for breakfast. read more

I'm us d to live in Texas, where you can find the best chicken fried steak. But since I moved to Sacramento, it's been difficult to find a decent chicken fried steak... until I found Elmers. This place has excellent food! read more

Would love to try them but they told me they only do dine-in. They don't have to-go orders/pick-up?! No delivery either. So strange!
