Elmer's Kitchen - Great hearty breakfast. Good bacon. Zach reached up to stretch and this happened! We laughed it off but ate wondering what is in those bags! - Diners Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Food was good and service was great especially from being from out of town I would recommend this place for breakfast

The Service here is awesome and the food is always great. We had a server Gina here who always knew how to take care of us and all our needs. The food was delicious and affordable especially during this times. 10/10 recommend!!! read more

I usually go back to places and order the same thing if it was really tasty the first time. I did just that and reordered the potato waffle as it was amazing last time. This time it wasn't like the waffle I got last time but two flatter pancakes. Still super tasty though. We also loved the breakfast sandwich plus potatoes. One of our favorite breakfast spots in Beaverton! read more

Mt son absolutely loves Elmer's. As for breakfast places go, the menu is pretty standard except for the German pancakes, which we didn't get this time. Our server was great! Attentive and fast. Eventhough it was packed, we got our food quickly. This is definitely a good, standard American breakfast joint. read more

Food was great! Service was great! Ambience is like a small-business version of Perkins. We liked everything about it, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary! read more

We came here because IHOP had a long wait time. This place is much better than IHOP. Ordered the Triple Berry German Pancake with eggs and sausage. the eggs and sausage were typical but the German Pancake was wonderful. The staff worked hard and met all of our needs. Would love to come back. read more

Surprisingly good for a chain diner. This was the first time me or my fiancee have been to an Elmers, and needless to say we will be coming back. The interior has an older aesthetic but offers that home-y vibe for chill Sunday brunches. All our interactions with the staff were positive and our waiter was very helpful with the menu. Their menu is typical of most diners including breakfast omelettes/scrambles, biscuits and gravy, pancakes/crepes, and country steak. However they do have a specialty German pancake, which is bowl like pastry that is topped with various fruits. I tried their seasonal Blueberry and Banana crepes, which were amazing. Almost drenched and stuffed with blueberries; if you're a fruit lover, I could not recommend them more. The crepes are light and the cream cheese sauce balances the sweetness of the fruit. I personally enjoyed the option to get my eggs with just egg whites, but was disappointed that they had run out of their chicken-apple sausage links. read more

Atmosphere - clean, pretty quiet first thing in the morning on a weekday. Friendly and helpful serving staff. Menu has some more unusual options like eggs benedict with Dungeness crab, definitely a step up from other breakfast places just for that. My lactose-free dining partner had trouble choosing because there were so many options available, which is not something we run into often. Food was excellent and portion size left both of us very full (in retrospect I should probably have boxed half of it up... but it was delicious). Nice that it's one of the earlier-opening breakfast places for us early birds. read more

Been here lots of times for meeting's and such. This is one of the better Elmer's in the area. Large seating area, and a good sized special event room. The food is a typical breakfast lunch and dinner place, same menu as the other Elmer's. I have to say that this one's food is consistently good and the servers do a good job working together. Overall really good breakfast, (that's what i generally get.) Good place to bring people or just get coffee. Good job! read more

Would not recommend. Our server was not great, could not get coffee refill even once. She totally looked the other way when walking past our table. Served pancakes with no syrup and had to ask another server for it as we could not get any attention from ours. By the time it arrived the pancakes were cold. We will not be back. read more

We used to come hear a lot when our kids were young, first it was iHOP, then as they got more sophisticated we graduated to Elmer's, more substantial portions and more refined then Denny's and iHOP. But now that my kids have graduated from college and experienced real breakfast, andPortlandia tasty choices really no reason to come. Broke down to accommodate my mom who had memories of breakfast with the grand kids Food: 3.5 to 4 Stars a step above fast food, hearty, tasty and generous portions, and you can tell made more home style like than the big boring chains with frozen supply chain stuff Service: 1 star had to wait way to long to order and they forgot all the sides and had to be reminded again and again. read more

Always great service and consistent flavors and portions. Love the variety and very kind friendly.

Having a unique opportunity to not have to work this morning I opted for a nice breakfast out. This Elmer's did not disappoint. Classic eggs benedict with satisfyingly crunchy hash browns. Fast friendly service was a bonus. Next time I'll get biscuits and gravy... read more

We have been to this location multiple times for breakfast. Each and every time, including today, has been a very positive experience. Wide array of items to choose and seems like each time there are new ones. The restaurant is Sparkling clean, even the restrooms. We have had the pleasure of Enrique serving us almost every time and he is an Outstanding Server. read more

Visiting the Portland area on business and stopped in at this Elmer's since it was so close to my hotel. Ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and an orange juice. Was extremely satisfied with my breakfast! Everything was fresh and tasty. The orange juice was much better than expected. The staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Service is terrible nobody put attention, all servers is just talking doing nothing...food is ok

Ok so I am a little absent lately. What can I say, given the detail I like to provide (along with working and keeping my wife and kids relatively happy) I don't have so much extra time to write...so 12:30am on a Saturday morning will have to do. So I believe my fam visited Elmer's about a week ago. We hadn't been there in a while, but I was not disappointed. My breakfast was top notch..coffee was a no brainer. Bacon was cooked to perfection and the fruit was tasty and much more than the usual garnish. The service was excellent and everyone enjoyed the visit. read more

Stopped here for breakfast Wed morning because we figured we knew what to expect. All in all it was ok, the German pancake was a little chewy and the pork sausage had a weird taste but not terrible. My wife went for the Eggs Benedict and mostly like it but the the eggs were so overcooked that they were like eating a hardboiled egg. Another thing hat she did not like was the ham it had a very tough rind on it which was she was unable to chew. She did like the Hollandaise sauce though. Overall not great but not terrible, the service was pleasant but very slow. read more

We come here often when we are visiting!! We had another wonderful meal, the cinnamon pancakes are delicious and their Eggs Benedict does not disappoint!! We always enjoy the service and friendly atmosphere!! read more

I thought it would be a nice dinner. I had the prime rib. It was really rather nasty. It was peppered and somehow rather bad tasting. Even the lean part of the meat had a bad flavor. My husband had fish and chips which were just barely warm, and again, tasting rather off. Service was just sort of lackadaisical. And it wasn't like they were busy. It was like it was just too much trouble to wait on us. read more

The service and ambiance were what you would typically find in a family style diner, no issues with either, just expect to wait a little while as this place is very popular. Despite how busy this place gets, the noise level isn't too overwhelming. The food was the star of the show though due to the good quality, it being properly seasoned and well-priced for the amount of food you receive. I definitely will be going back and I recommend this for all demographics, young and old, single or with family. read more

Have not been here(or much of anywhere) in the last two years ,but Elmer's is at the top 10 of my list . Enrique my server was the best of efficient and unobtrusive service , food excellently prepared . Try the papadelle-style hash browns . Siri misspelled that, not me . Get the hash extra crispy! . Bacon and avocado omelet super combination! If you haven't 't been out to breakfast lately , take yourself - seating is spacious , music soft . And donate to local Hoy program while you can! I deserved the treat and so do you!!!!! read more

Wife and I had amazing food and amazing service. Our server was Robert G.. So friendly and quick, able to take care of everyone quick and efficiently with no errors and very kind the entire time. Was checked on the entire time and never felt like I needed to call anyone over for anything. I can't believe I waited so long to come here and am so glad I finally did. The pricing is a bit high but is good quality. I ordered the crabocado omelette with hash browns which also comes with a biscuit. The sides were delicious, as was the omelette. Will come again. read more

Quick place to grab a bite within a very short walking distance from my hotel. I got the Cobb salad but after the waitress left I noticed the egg portion was missing. Ordered a Bloody Mary that was good. Service was lacking- waitress did not come in to check how my salad was. Booths were clean. Overall ok. read more

Elmer's seemed okay. Not bad, not great just okay. Server was nice enough, but didn't see her much. Was seated promptly by hostess, place seemed clean at first glance, but definitely noticed sticky tables and little sugar ants nearby the window. ( Fairly new to the area and am aware this is a common isssue up here)? I don't know, it was okay. Menu selections ranged far and wide which gave me mixed feelings. Seems kinda like a chain, so likely food is just reheated. To be fair , I didn't try the famous Dutch pancakes so, maybe that's the game changer? I got a eggs Benedict and hubby got a breakfast plate. Did the job, filling and price was standard. Probably wouldn't return since it wasn't the best experience and cost was greater than what I would have liked to have paid for breakfast. read more

Been here twice before and had pleasurable experiences. Staff was attentive and professional as well as friendly. Food came fast and our coffee always filled and needs always met. Thought this was the norm and was excited to go back until yesterday (2/1/22) when I hit a bump. Blase` manager sat me down on the left hand side of the restaurant instead of the right (Left is dark and sparse where as the right is alive and active). No big deal and I stay optimistic. Karen (Waitress) comes and takes my order; coffee and a Vegetarian Omelette with no cheese. Coffee is filled and I wait for another another great experience to happen. Under five minutes and I`m done with my coffee. I see the manager, and he sees me, I raise my hand and he makes his way towards me. However, he stops at the empty booth in front of me, turns his back, cleans it, and leaves. Okay; no big deal and here comes Karen. She arrives, seems overwhelmed (Think she`s new), takes an order, and leaves. Again, no big deal and I wait patiently for another server. Long story short; I`m ignored two more times (A different waiter and once again by the manager) and I`ve had enough. I take my empty coffee cup with me to the cashier area, put it down, and ask how much for the coffee as I wont be needing the meal (Total duration of time was a little over fifteen minutes after I finished my first cup of coffee. Should have been more patient? Not in my opinion; but I leave it to you). Conclusion: I will be back as one bad experience wont deter me from the two enjoyable experiences I had before. The location is one of the best in terms of being well kept, the food is fast and tasty, and the staff is (Usually) accommodating and always keeping an eye out for the customers. I highly recommend this Elmers location, at least for the time being, and will give an update in the near future on my next experience. Four out of five for the time being. read more

I loved Elmer's before the pandemic. It seems the perfect, above all other restaurants dedicated service to loyal customers has vanished!! All I wanted was to order a breakfast meal for my disabled husband (who LOVES Elmer's) and pick it up, since he no longer is ambulatory and bring it home to him. The Waterhouse location is so close to us that it makes no sense to order at the other locations. The disappointment I feel is, well, too heavy to explain. Sorry to burst your bubble of feeling good, but that's the way it is!!! Regretfully, Mrs. L. Chavez read more

The food was okay service was good this place reminds me of village inn or Sharis restaurant just some place to go to get some food fast and dont have to wait like more popular or favored restaurant, which we tried a few places but were completely packed. FYI nothing fancy here just your standard eats. #positivegoodlife read more

All the empty tables, 8 that I can see, yet full lobby waiting to be seated. I saw at least 4 families get tired of waiting and leave. Bad space management. read more
