    the parking lot
    Alan H.

    If you ever find yourself in Pocatello, Idaho for some odd reason and are craving greasy fast food from a tiny drive inn restaurant that is next to a park that is by a zoo that is next to a public pool, then you know what you need to do... Stop here and place your order. Might I suggest a strange but local favorite... Taco spaghetti. Yeah, you heard me. Taco spaghetti. Yes, thats strange. Yes, everything I have just said above is weird. Did you forget you were in Idaho?? Stop asking questions and just order!!

    What a nice place. The burger was good and fries were yummy, service is fast. Nachos were okay... The taco spaghetti is pretty much spaghetti with hot sauce and cheese, lol different...not our favorite, but can't complain. Out door seating with shaded areas which is so nice. The guest park is a plus! If you have kids it's great because they can run around! If your in town, worth the stop if you're hungry and don't want to eat at burger king or taco bell!

    This place is more a tradition rather than a great tasting fast food joint. Don't get me wrong, the food is good enough. The taco spaghetti and the mess are probably the two most popular. But the burgers are pretty good themselves. The shakes are made thick and flavorful. If you have a chance to stop by definitely check it out. The prices are right as well. And don't forget the Chillerz for good shave ice.

    Great food. Wish it was open all year. Worth going out of the way to get there. Burgers are great and they have fry sauce.

    Well the food is good, but for a second time they have over charged us and no receipt. And not just a dollar or 2, like 7 dollars!

    Taco spaghetti is the best, we always make it point to get some during the summer months when they are open for the season.

    Stock up on frozen sauce and meat to have this when they're closed or if you live too far away.

    Lately, when visiting Pocatello, we've been able to visit a few places that are clustered together…read morein what could only be described as the traditional Grandpa's-Diner-Club. This most recent visit was to Elmer's Restaurant. They have a nice-sized corner parking lot, with lots of big blue signs to alert you that the spots are reserved for Elmer's guests. Up against the building, an alcove sets out where a sporty red car sits in front of a paper 'No Parking' sign--surely Elmer. The building is one of those old, deep-foundation squat ones where only a very short wall holds the windows higher than the sidewalk. We made our way to the entrance, and I pulled open one of those classic, heavy glass diner doors. While the other two in my group, being ready for menus, quickly stepped in, I stayed holding the door for a party of five right on our heels. That was pretty much the story in there: not a single two-top in the place. It was fairly busy, with all big-tops having three to six people. Each of the three servers was handling their fair share of them--keeps a server moving. There was a fourth server, an older woman, tediously wrapping up silverware during the coming rush--this restaurant's still hanging in there OG. As far as the atmosphere: The noise decibel was low, as relaxed energy peacefully flowed from the families dining in there, but the three servers on the floor keeping up with the large tables were humming around as if motor-powered. We were sat fairly quickly by a highly energetic young lady (the youngest in there) who had that nervous smile of 'don't show the stress' plastered on her face. She was very nice and gave a nod to our server, who quickly approached us for our drink orders. I didn't need a menu for that, "coffee please" were my very first words spoken at Elmer's, with my other half quickly echoing. The third in our party, as is her norm, ordered the most dazzling fruity concoction on the menu, lol--she loved her Blended Strawberry Lemonade. With drinks out of the way, we turned our focus to the menu. The menu is pretty big with three pages of breakfast alone, and lots of tantalizing photos of dishes to tempt a hungry reader. It is hard to explain, but it strikes a perfect balance that seems to be 'unique-traditional'--Elmer's signature. Two of us, including me, got the delicious Potato Cakes Breakfast, with eggs and sausage. Topped with sour cream, the cakes come with cheese and onions cooked in. I added some chunky salsa on top--ohhh my goodnessmagnificent. My other half ordered the very different Fresh Fruit German Pancake, and Chicken Apple Sausage links. She especially loved the sausage, but said both were very good. Elmer's food is all great! I doubt the owner's name is Elmer (as the door sign reveals--owner's name is Earl), but our server told me that he snapped the pics of the nature prints around the walls, so I do know he's a great photographer. The coffee is really good, the food is spectacular, and the service is flawless! Elmer's can be summed up as 'a perfection of that hometown, unpretentious hospitality and hustle.' One of my highest breakfast diner recommendations--Super-Scale 8*

    We were in an hour and a half prior to closing and were seated in the table area of the restaurant…read more Our server was especially sweet and obervant. The food was okay-if a little bland on the hashbrown gravy. However, prior to getting our meal half of the dining room we were in was closed off and before we finished our meal (a good 45 minutes before closing) they were vacumning on the other side of the partition they'd pulled across. Not particularly welcoming, Elmer's and it's not the first time it has happened to us. This doesn't even include the table full of tomorrow's set ups that employees were working and gabbing at. Ultimately, either you're open or you're not. Vacumning around people trying to eat is rude. Be better.
