My husband and I have been to Elmers Diner several time's for both breakfast and lunch. Everything we have ordered is delicious! Cooked perfectl. Service is outstanding! We have a favorite server Evelyn who is. fantastic! Restaurant is friendly clean and welcoming read more

Very mid diner. It's good for those who work late as danbury has "school night hours" and everything is closed sometimes as early as 7pm. The food is mediocre at best, but when im craving a turkey sausage egg and cheese, its one of a very few places that fills that void. It's also the only restaurant thats open all 365 days. Service is okay, I never had any issues. I go maybe 1-2 times a month. read more

Perfect stop for a perfect lunch. Turkey Club was fresh sliced, juicy tomato and crunchy fries. We enjoyed the food so much. read more

Elmer's has been my go-to diner for years, but the last two times I have attempted to eat here, I have walked in and been assaulted by the odor of bleach so strong that it makes my throat burn and my eyes water. What is this place thinking, and how is dumping a caustic cleaning agent all over your establishment during peak dining hours not a health code violation? I will not be back...this place just became bad for my health read more

Updating my review based on their breakfast. Had 3 eggs over easy with bacon and substituted home fries for grilled tomatoes, and it was scrumptious! The price for breakfast was reasonable. Service was friendly and attentive this time. read more

A very consistent diner. If you want your choice of anything and everything, go to Elmers!

This place is amazing. The owner is a fantastic person who knows a lot about life I suggested reducing yourself and being a gentleman. I love the eggs Benedict at this restaurant. No matter what time of day that you order from them the food is fresh and delicious. God loves Elmer's Diner and so do I. Amen read more

Elmer's Diner - Chicken pot pie which was also awesome! - Diners Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

I feel like I have to give this 5 stars based on it was quite the meal after all the other places were closed. The menu is so ambitious and usually that doesn't work out. Maybe I got lucky but the dish I chose was ambitious and they hit it quite well. I ordered the Half Roast Chicken dinner. It came with a salad that was fresh and quite tasty with a balsamic dressing. The meal itself was quite amazing. The Chicken was delicious, it was accompanied by a delicious home made type stuffing, roasted potatoes, and veggies which in this case was some delicious Corn on the Cob as well as some Carrots. It really was a plate of comfort and hit the spot! Service was friendly and attentive. But the best part was a Chocolate Egg Cream drink! I ordered it after the meal as a sort of dessert. It was so tasty! I am not from this region and have never had one before and now I wonder how I made it this far in life without one! If I am ever back in Danbury I would definitely try this place again. read more

And for my 300th Yelp review....Elmer's. First of all, high props to Elmer's for 24/7 in this day and age, where eateries are reducing days and / or hours. Let's start w parking. Very small lot entered off of a very busy street by going down and around. Entrance and exit in the same spot. Very tight turn radius once you're in the lot, which is full during busy times. Difficult to turn around, and suicidal to back out. So you end w partial to total gridlock waiting for a spot to open. Extremely dangerous and a bit frustrating. Anyway, inside w my nephew-in-law. Seated in a booth quickly, menu proffered, drink orders taken. Somewhat crowded, but service very good. I had the Elmer's omelet (3 eggs, mozz, smoked turkey sausage, some veggies), w hash brown and toast. Artie had the Elmer burger w fries. My omelet was overcooked, the hash browns were a deep-fried greasy patty (like McDonald's). Coffee was excellent. Artie liked his burger which came in a tortilla w salsa. He didn't really touch his fries which looked like they had sat under a heat lamp for awhile. Overall, a bit unimpressive for me. 3 stars read more

A little pricey, food is good but overpriced in some areas. Service was quick and desserts are visually pleasing!

this is absurd, I was expecting a beautiful breakfast with my wife. we order pancakes and a burger, the burger was undercooked and the fries were soggy, the pancakes were very cold and bland, come to find out that there was a hair. I will never come back to this establishment. read more

We got takeout on our trip down the highway. I got a strawberry chicken walnut salad. It was very large and tasty !

A Solid diner in the Danbury area with friendly service, large menu, that serves food quickly and it was all good. We stopped in for dinner when in the area and everyone enjoyed their food! My husband especially enjoyed the complimentary pasta salad they gave at the start of our meal. One of my children was excited to see curly fries on the menu and had to get them. I was told the chicken tenders were great as was our Mediterranean wrap and tuna club sandwich. Their Cole slaw which I did not get a picture of was also very fresh and great. Definitely recommend this diner if you are in the area! read more

Elmers diner is one of the better diners in town . He serves up hot food quick and never misses . I only question the quality of his ingredients . Eggs seem to be watered down sometimes . I ordered the vegetarian omelette and it contained all the right ingredients . I could not figure out what oil they use to cook their omelettes in . Service is excellent the hospitality is great at the entrance , if it's not Elmer himself playing host . It appears like they should have an entrance for those coming in as you bulrush the door in trying to get out on weekends . Very noisy but coordinated as everyone is focused on their table and counter guest . Place is quiet during the week and sometimes even empty . That just means everyone is just trying to get home on that busy road . Parking is a challenge and dysfunctional. Parking is available across the street but , good luck trying to cross the street with cars doing 40 mph . I am a member of the Connecticut Chef's Association , member of the World Association of Cooks Society (WACS ) and inducted into the Le Emis Escoffier Society . It's NOT a 3 star Michelin Diner and the cost is ok for a diner , however he does have the opportunity to charge more for better ingredients. Not all eateries use top of the line ingredients - if they did the prices would be double ; so you get what you pay for . read more

Used to be fantastic! Food. Has declined a lot. What happened? It seems the quality of food is marginal. read more

Was in the area for an appointment and needed breakfast! Such a cute little diner. Very clean and the staff was great! I created my own platter. I think the diner should add it to the menu and call it "Missys breakfast feast" . I had scrambled eggs, Canadian bacon, home fries with cheese and gravy, rye toast, and avocado. I paid about 17$ for it, and when I tell you it was worth it... it was so worth it. Everything was delicious! My favorite part was the home fries! My server was great. If I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely return! read more

Everything is excellent, I have not had a bad meal ever at Elmer's. Best dinner around

Can I start by admitting the past month we have been ordering in so much. Tonight was Diner food from Elmer's. Linguini Napatolena - this is a garlic lovers dream actual garlic you can taste. The melted cheese gives it that extra goodness. So I would not be eating all carbs I got a side of two meatballs and sauce. The meatballs - not good. The soup though - awesome. Nice matzo ball, nice pieces of chicken with onions and carrots chopped perfectly. Next time I will get a bowl of soup instead of a cup! @Elmer P - Everything was GREAT except the meatballs. I started the review with a good thing and ended with a good thing. read more

We had a very delightful experience at Elmer's. Our server was Tai, who was extremely friendly and very welcoming. When I ordered my pastrami and eggs with fries, I asked Tai if they were the skinny fries or the fat fries. She smiled and told me, she'd bring me the fries, and if I didn't like them, she'd let me trade them for home fries. I thought that was a classy move. The fries and the breakfast were very tasty, so there was no need to swap it out. Great service, great food! You nailed it! We will return! read more

I got the breakfast combo with french toast and a bacon cheeseburger with waffle fries and our food was out quick and cook perfectly. Huge menu, would definitely order anything off of it. It was 11:39pm where else can you that type of service? Good food 24 hours at a reasonable price. We also got another breakfast combo special and it was under $45. That Classic American Diner feel inside and out. Neon lights outside are a great touch. read more

Stopped in with my brother in law for a cup of coffee and breakfast. Polite and efficient staff, friendly service and good coffee! Breakfast, both the pancakes and scrambled eggs with corned beef ( hey, it's St. PATRICK'S Day) on a hard roll well prepared and tasty. Love the diner experience and this was a good one@ read more

Great diner. I'm personally not a fan of diners because like Forrest Gump famously said You Never Know What You're Gonna Get! This one completely surpassed all m expectations. The waitress offered us a free sample of their pasta salad with 2 corn chips on top. It was an odd combo but tasted delicious together. I ordered a Rueben w/Corn Beef. This was the most tender corn beef I've ever had on a Rueben. Absolutely delicious. I added fries for $1.99 bc it only comes with slaw and a pickle. Everyone else that was with me enjoyed their food as well. read more

They have been better, but for a while now their food has no flavor at all and that includes sauces! Unfortunately I would not recommend them and it's a shame because the service/people there are good. Which is why they didn't get one star read more

Pros- -The server Evelyn was quite pleasant. -The burger deluxe was decent. Cons- -Filty floor with food all over, in the back. It was disgusting. -Overcooked burgers- one was ordered medium rare but it came out medium; the one ordered medium came out well done. -The french toast served under the Norwegian salmon eggs benefit was cornbread and not very good. -Mushy hamburger buns; they should toast them or use kaiser rolls. -$3.45 for a soda? Yikes. Small cup too. Rely from owner today, April 5, 2024- "...When Evelyn checked in and asked if everything was okay, your response was yes. Our team would have been more than willing to provide you with a replacement meal, or done anything to make your experience 5-star worthy, should you have requested." Dear Owner, When someone is not happy with a meal, the answer is not always sending the food back. If it was, you and all restauranteurs would be beside yoruselves. It's feedback on our thoughts through Yelp, Google, etc. that improve service and food. Good owners accept the constructive critique. Would Evelyn have found a different bun or have asked the cook to make the Noregians eggs with a different type of toast? Cmon, that's silly. Should a patron ever ask a waitress to sweep the floor or ask her to find someone to do it? Shouldn't you, as the owner, have a manager who can do that before anyone ever sits near spilled food? Not all your reviews will be spectacular sir. Accept that. My review is dropped one star for the smarmy comment from the owner putting part of the blame on me. read more

Elmer's Diner - Menu stay in little Italy. You will not be disappointed - Diners Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Hello, whenever we go to CT, we stop to eat at Elmer's. The staff is great, and so is the food (when there is consistency). We travel from the BX to do a little shopping and go to Elmer's. I just noticed that depending on whomever is cooking (Thursday or Friday's), the food can taste different depending on the week and the cook! We will continue going to Elmer's because of the staff and food, but maybe you can work on consistency so that the food comes out and tastes the same no matter who's cooking! Just a quick example: the seafood bisque soup is excellent one time. We then go again, and it's salty! Just try to work on that. We will be back soon! read more
