    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.

Food wasn't bad so I'll definitely be back! There were a few micro charges that we didn't even think about when ordering (whipped cream on milkshake, 0.50 or some odd cents for tartar sauce) but otherwise it was a very pleasant experience. As someone who usually hates sauerkraut the Reuben was actually enjoyable which was a surprise to me. The place really captures the diner feel inside and out, I'm excited to try different menu options in the future.

As you walk in you are taken back to the 50's , from the floors to the decor. They have various booth style and table seating options. The staff were very friendly. We were seating quickly. They have a very ample menu. I was a little taken back by the pricing of the breakfast. Most meals were over 12 dollars, some standard meals as much as 24 dollars for a breakfast. I ordered a scrambled, it had eggs, veggies, cheese and potato's and jalapeños. It was a very large portion of food. My son had a pancake with eggs and bacon, he did not eat the rest of his bacon he said it had an odd taste. I would share that they have a huge menu with many options. The food quality was ok, probably not be back but it seems like they have a good following of customers.

Server takes my order rather hurriedly, food comes at a reasonable a time, but I'm hunting for blueberries and the cakes are fairly raw in the center. But I know I'll never see my server again as she threw the food down and walked away, even though my coffee cup was empty. The cakes were so bitter and metallic tasting, and I tried three of the four. They all tasted horrible. I go to pay, leaving everything on my table, and I tell the host the food was horrible. Crickets. Again, I say, the food was horrible. No response, just a blank stare. What a waste of time and money.

    To be honest, when our plans to go bowling and have lunch at Big Al's today fell through because…read morethey didn't open till 3, but we still wanted to eat (and hadn't had breakfast yet at 1:30), I tried every option I could think of to not go to Bannings. When we moved to Oregon, it was under construction but we kept hearing how good it was - in fact, all the local FB pages would gush about it when a newcomer would ask about the best restaurant. And once it finally opened, we tried it, but it was kind of like Marie calendars and Shari's, but local. Ok, but not what we had expected for all the hype. So, after trying a handful of options it seemed Bannings was the only place we could still get breakfast so I begrudgingly agreed. Well, I was mistaken! I got the breakfast enchiladas and a strawberry orange mimosa. Now, the mimosa - I'll get that out of the way first. It was weird - it looked curdled. It just had mashed strawberry at the bottom and it actually was quite good. I'd do a normal mimosa in the future, but good. But the enchiladas - delicious. Like, I'll come back again and again for those. And they didn't charge me extra for the avocado, which I think is righteous because I asked for no hash browns. But not all places would do that, they'd nickel and dime even if you passed on one side for another. Additionally; my husband likes a savory breakfast and a sweet one too - so he often gets two breakfasts and though he may not eat all of both he gets that savory and sweet. Well, the omelettes come with 3 pancakes. Perfection. And, I took 3 bites of them - I usually might try 1 or not at all - they are very very good. Last - it did not break the bank. I've about ruled out breakfast out because of how crazy expensive the places that should be reasonable are. This was reasonable - PLEASE DONT CHANGE!! All in all 5 stars, will be back for breakfast; and hey - when I'm wrong I can admit I was wrong! Give them a try if you haven't!

The last couple times I've visited Portland, my local friend has dragged me along here, and it has been quite satisfying each time. Nothing terribly fancy or nuanced about this joint. Just good food in a family-style diner kind of atmosphere. The Belgian Waffle is always a good choice, in my book. But they have plenty of breakfast scrambles and platters, too. And the burgers here are pretty darn good. But if you are at all in the mood, definitely try their pies. You see them right by the door, tempting you as soon as you walk in. And while my friend can vouch how their Pumpkin Pie is legendary (especially around the autumn holidays), I can say with certainty you want to try their Key Lime Pie! Prices are pretty decent for the portions you get. And service is generally very friendly and prompt, though they can get a little backed up on weekend mornings. Parking is also typically easy. And if the weather is nice, I would recommend taking a seat out on the patio. So yeah, nothing fancy, which is sometimes what you really need. This has become one of our most frequented breakfast stops when visiting PDX, and I can definitely forsee returning.
