    Breakfast
    Rachel S.

    I honestly don't give 5/5 but this was actually so yummy. Breakfast is something you can get anywhere but this place. Divine!!! Everything was sooo yummy (expect the cholula hot sauce... where the heat at :( ) but the food was so good. I will be coming again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we walked in we did feel like this was an ihop. So ambiance... family friendly for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good nothing special but good.

    Fantastic service and very friendly staff. The breakfast was delicious and it's cooked to order, while that may take a few extra minutes it's certainly worth the wait.

    First breakfast in Beaverton before we hit the popup vinyl record sale down the road - it's a chain so we knew it would be consistently decent food and fairly quick. I was excited to see Dutch Baby on the menu and immediately knew I needed to try it. It comes with eggs and choice of meat. I went with Lingonberry butter as my topping. I think the room was cold because my Lingonberry butter had butter clumps that never melted. Service was quick and attentive with the place packed to the gills. Pancakes were great and the chicken sausage was not too dry. Dependable and just what we needed to start our day

    Very welcoming and warn diner. Nice location, good amount of space, and good food. Decent coffee. Very nice and attentive service. Great chili vibe. I dined there twice in a week, and both times, my food was nice, especially for the price. I wish they used less sauce. They followed my request for less cheese. I will go back quite often.

    I would move to Portland just for Elmer's Kitchen! The food is very fresh and delicious. I want to order one of everything on the menu! I ordered cinnamon roll pancakes and OMG, just mouthwatering, I am OBSESSED. My friend, who is a local, ordered the strawberry crepes; which I tried. Again, delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes are very chill and give off a nice local small-business feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is much better than any chain like Dennys or iHop! Elmer's Kitchen is a must-try when in the area.

    Great food as always!!!! Rancher's Breakfast with Strawberry crepes!

    As always food is great and so is the service! Our server Dora was the sweetest! I can't believe my picky eater 9 year old finished his entire plate, this rarely happens! But what I'd like to mention today is how the staff accommodated a person with a rollator walker. Truly outstanding! The elderly gentleman had one of those bulky rollers so they decided they will be removing a "standing floor divider" so he and his party can take the nearest tables so he doesn't have to maneuver his walker all the way to the back of the restaurant, they then asked if he would like them to store his walker away while they ate. That was such a nice gesture! That's why I love coming here! Everyone is just so kind and friendly!!!

    I don't know why I sometimes forget that Elmer's Kitchen has some pretty solid brunch options, but definitely come here if you're in the mood for classic American comfort food. Not only do they offer lunch and dinner options, but they serve breakfast all day. I've only been here for brunch and would usually order the Lingonberry Crepes (aka Swedish Pancakes) or the Classic German Pancake (aka Dutch Baby), both are always wonderful. However, this time around I wanted to indulge in their Crabacado omelette and the Husby had the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. It was definitely a hearty breakfast. I loved the chunks of dungeness crab in my omelette. The hash browns were average, wish they were a little more crispier. Other than that, they also have good coffee and servers were really friendly.

    Recent visit was not so great. The place seemed clean, the menu selection for breakfast pretty good. We ordered a traditional egg plate and the potato cake plate. The potato cakes were just way too salty for me. If not for the salt they really would've had good flavor. Much to the same tune, the hash browns on my husbands plate were excessively salty too. And not distributed excessive salt but like clumps of salt, so much so my husband gave up and stopped eating them. All other items on our plates were seasoned well and the biscuit was quite good. (I also ordered my egg over hard and received medium, runny.) Our server wasn't overly friendly but seemed capable...but then he left for break. As our food came to the table he alerted us that it was break time but that 3 others would tend to us. No one else approached us at all during the break, not even for a coffee check. Unfortunately not the best breakfast experience.

    A fantastic place to start the day. We came early for the Old Bolle Troll (can visit anytime during…read moredaylight hours) and then came back Broder Soder for brunch at 8AM (Saturday) - no wait upon opening despite having a group of 6. We started with the cardamom latte (rich and nutty) and the matcha marzipan (sweet and with enough aromatic almond flavor) and then proceeded to feast. We started with the Danish pancake donuts- lovely in that they were both savory and sweet, comes with lemon curd and jam. The lefse breakfast was really interesting - a layered thicker 'crepe' with cheese and egg. The fish plate was our family favorite - an epic collection of shrimp, mini shrimps, gravlax, pickled herring (our favorite) various breads, crackers and sauces. Very well presented, fun to eat, and enough to share. We also ordered the Swedish meatballs - rich hearty but small and few (5 total). Luckily, we had plenty of other food and this dish was great with sherry mushroom sauce and a delicious potato latke-like side. Our server was also incredibly personable, friendly, and helpful in our food choices which we always appreciate.

Great portion sizes and fun flavors. Not the everyday breakfast Americans are used to. We also shared the Ebelskivers with lemon curd and jam. Those are always good and you have to get them when you go there. The one we went to was in the Scandinavian community center and it has a really nice clean vibe to it. It has large windows so there so much light. They have a little store in the building that you can browse around while you wait. It's a great place if you're down for something different for breakfast.

Hostess called the wrong 'Sarah' after waiting 50 minutes for a table, which is fine, mistakes happen, except she forgot to put us back on the waitlist which meant we had to wait even longer for a table. When we finally got seated for breakfast, we were told the kitchen was a little backed up so it would take a little longer than normal for food - we waited over an hour for our food to come, and no one came to provide us with an update until we asked for it. We stopped in for brunch around 10:00 on a Friday morning and didn't leave until almost 1:15 after waiting to be seated then waiting for our food. I will add, the Denver omelet (vegetarian with fried tofu instead of ham) was really good! We also loved the strawberry scones and chocolate chip cookies. Like I said - I would come back to grab some pastries and a coffee, but probably would not recommend this place to eat.

The biscuit had a a bit of crunch, the eggs were perfect and I licked the plate clean. I added a bit of the house made hot sauce to the potatoes. My partner's French toast looked good and they had a salad as the side. The salad was incredible. I wish I had ordered it instead of the potatoes.

But one bite in and it was clear it hadn't been warmed. When I mentioned it wasn't fresh, the staff defended it saying it was made the night before.
