The service was quick and our waitress was very nice. I had bacon, hash browns and pancakes. Bacon was excellent, hash browns mediocre. The pancakes were fine, though I wish they could have used fresh or even frozen strawberries instead of canned. read more

It was very busy today, but we recieved quick service and great food! They keep your coffee cup full, and the clam chowder is some of the best I have tried. We like that even if you have a lunch or dinner menu, you can ask for a breakfast menu. read more

Best Breakfast in Corvallis!! The Oregon Coast seriously needs an Elmer's. I've been going to Elmer's since I was a kid when my Grandmother would take me there in Tigard. When I was attending OSU, I would come here for breakfast almost every day and study. Great Service, Great Food! The owners, Patty and Louis are awesome and as nice as they come. Just damn good food. They will make it anyway you like. Try the Blueberry Hazelnut Pancake Combo with berry syrup and the chicken sausage with eggs the way you like 'em. I used to go cut 3-6 cords of firewood after a breakfast like that. Seriously good food. read more

Always wonderful service and great food every time we go here. I love the crepes and Belgian waffles! Omelettes are yummy, too. Definitely recommend it! read more

Service was great. Nice clean place. But my omelette looked and tasted like it was premise and warmed up in a microwave. I will not eat here again. I like my breakfasts with a little more flavor and character. read more

Potato cakes were delicious. Blueberry pancakes were fresh and crispy. Service was great. Try it, you'll like it. read more

Great service and good food. Everybody was happy and full. Only thing I could suggest is the yolk for the Eggs Benedict could be runny instead of cooked almost solid but they were still yum! read more

Elmer's Restaurant - Traditional Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Visited this location for the first time last week, and visited twice since. Very friendly staff, efficient service, and delicious breakfasts. Extra kudos to Shawna for recognizing us each visit and welcoming us as new residents. read more

Elmer's is an excellent diner! We stopped in for our first time and it was everything I wanted it to be. I had a Denver omelet with buttermilk pancakes, my husband had the classic eggs Benedict and all of it was just so good. Nothing was greasy, not even the hash browns, and everything was cooked really well. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and delicious. The atmosphere is really warm and inviting and the seating was super comfortable. Our server was Mary Quinn - she was so sweet and helpful. We will definitely be going back to Elmer's! read more

I love this place. I usually get the senior size omlettes. They are delicious, the prices are good and the service is spot on. What's not to like ? My wife says they don't have the "ambiance " of a finer restaurant. Ambiance, schambiance.,You don't eat ambiance.This is my favorite place. read more

This Elmers has inherited customers from Lyon's which was a longtime popular independent restaurant in Corvallis. They have added many Elmers specials to the menu as well as a real-life commitment to purchase, prepare and offer excellent local food favorites. We thoroughly enjoyed the late breakfast served quickly and with care by a young lady obviously committed to excellence. The german pancake was huge, tasty and artfully served. The only thing missing from the menu is yogurt and maybe a few other choices like granola. We'll definitely be back on OSU game weekends! read more

We had Northwest Skillet and Classic waffle yesterday and they were yummy! Everything was wonderful there, the staff, fast service, the restaurant itself and of course the food! Highly recommend! read more

Welcome to Corvallis. While not many places here to eat you sort of think what is there will be great. Not really. Greeted very nicely and immediately seated. We we wanted breakfast fare. Our drink orders came after an extended wait; which if we were there for conversation would have been great. Orders placed and food can bacon and eggs. Be sure to be prepared to add your own salt and pepper; ours was cooked really bland. Drinks maybe should have ordered refills at time of initial filling. But... the good side everything took so long we had a wonderful conversation. So go here if you don't mind so-so dining. read more

My husband and I are in town visiting our daughter, who is a grad student at OSU. We came here for a mid-week leisurely breakfast. The service and food were good. The portions are so large that we easily shared an omelette with pancakes. read more

I ordered a Saturday Market Skillet with a Peach tea and I was very content with the quality of the food. My compliments to the cook! Food was out in a timely manner, still freshly steaming and had wonderful flavor. --I've been to Elmer's quite a few times and have become familiar with the staff. I have never requested a server's section before, but this is the second time I've sat with Lacy by accident and have thoroughly enjoyed my service. She was very polite and was always on top of coffee refills. I watched as she engaged with customers around me and actually smiled to myself at the light hearted conversations she seemed to actually care about. If Lacy isn't working, try Shari's next door and try again another night. read more

Entered the place and was seated almost instantly, the place was about half full. I sat patiently and waited, after 5 minutes or so I asked a passing waitress if I could order, she offered water (which she never brought) after another 5 or so minutes I asked a different gal the same and got nothing again. After talking with 3 waitresses and waiting for over 20 minutes I finally got up and left when I overheard the couple seated close by talking about still waiting for food 40 minutes AFTER they ordered. I was seen getting up and leaving by multiple waitresses and the hostess as well, not one word was said by any of them. I went to their competition and was seated and placed my order in less than 4 minutes total and they were very busy. read more

Elmer's used to be way better. I went here last week, and ordered Eggs Benedict. I made sure to order the eggs soft-poached. They came out hard poached, and there were bits of shell on them. The hash browns were almost non-existent, by which I mean there was- and I'm being generous here- perhaps 1/4 cup of browns on my plate, coupled with a mere drizzle of Hollandaise over the eggs. This wasn't just poor plating, it was puny. The service was excellent, which is what keeps me from giving one star. Too bad, really. Elmer's used to be a go-to place for a decent chain restaurant breakfast. read more

This place is Fabulous. We tried Applebee's and the expensive and over priced Italian place in town and both of those places were awful. Stick to Elmers and you will be just fine, we stayed at the hotel behind it when we were in town on business. We ended up eating here 2 times a day. you can not go wrong with the Eggs Benedict and The Prime Rib Sandwich dip. Get the Prime Rib dip with Cheddar and grilled onions. The owner is a kind man who stayed late one night to make sure we got to eat dinner as we worked late and showed up after closing. He got in the kitchen and made us a fantastic hot meal as well as brewed us a pot of fresh coffee. He use to live in LA where we are from and moved here for the quite life. He is a delightful man who earned our business from now on when we are in town for business we will go nowhere else but Elmers for this reason!. We can't say enough about the owner and the service here. Everything is very good. Breakfast all day and Prime Rib at night!! You had us as Welcome. See you in a few months. read more

Had great food, tends to be on the quiet side for a breakfast restaurant which is nice. Staff were friendly and the wait was not too long, about 15 minutes. read more

Yummy German pancakes. Surprisingly good traditional breakfast for a chain. Attentive service.

My husband I ate breakfast at Elmers yesterday. We had one of the best waiters that we have ever encountered. His name was Derrick and he was patient and very professional. It was my husbands first time there for breakfast and we both were indecisive. The food was great, especially the German pancake. We hesitated going at first since we wanted more of a "diner" experience but were pleasantly surprised. read more

Horrible. Against my wishes, I went in with some friends - after the last time I visited, I did not want to go back again. This Will be my last visit. The owners are very rude to their workers, I could not believe how they treat them, where guests can hear them. I would not work here. It's no wonder they have such a turn around. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Elmers today to enjoy some wonderful home style cooking. We were not disappointed. I have gone to several Elmers in the past and the food nor the customer service was anything compared to the one in Corvallis. Our server Ellen, was wonderful and catered to our every need. Five stars was given mainly because you guys made my afternoon a happy one. Thanks. read more

Staff is welcoming. Pancakes are delicious. Thick cut bacon cooked to just the right texture. Breakfast (available all day) is the star here. Have tried dinner items such as the fish. Good, but not as outstanding as the breakfast. Have been to this location and the one in Albany. Both are great. read more

Maryquin was an awesome waitress! I didn't even have to ask and she'd just appear with more coffee right when i needed it! And there were a good number of people in here and she still got me stuff in a timely manner. Great food too! read more

I have been a customer here for a few years and liked eating until last week a waitress began arguing with a customer in the booth next to me and would not back down. The customer was kind and tried to explain to the waitress somethings and that waitress continued to argue ruining our lunch and really reuining the customer she was arguing withs lunch. I will not go back. What happened to the customer being right??? Prior to that issue the waitress older with blonde hair had been very short when we wanted to have her take her order. I have to say the food has gone down hill lately anyway so I won't miss it. There are other really great places to eat in Corvallis that are not chains anyway. Check out 2nd street. They have the best sandwiches. Check out sams for breakfast. they are great. read more

I love Elmers.It is always homey and warm in there, staff is nice and the food good. Menu is flexible. My favorite place for breakfast.

Stopped in on our way to Washington. Food was amazing. Staff was very nice. Great place!! We'll be back!

Prices are good. Food is great. Fast service and very friendly. They where fast to seat us and take our orders. Kids enjoyed it, good kids menus selection read more

Just got back from Elmer's in Corvallis. You can see by my rating it was less than spectacular. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because our server was pretty good. Like in Terrie's review, we also had Thania. She was patient with our delay in ordering, and kept our drinks filled during the meal. We wondered why the place was virtually empty on a Friday night. My wife had the turkey dinner, and it wasn't very good. The turkey was clearly cut from a processed piece of turkey, not from an actual turkey. My wife ordered backed potato, and her plate arrived with mashed potatoes on it. The stuffing was fine, but the cranberries were obviously from a can. And the backed potato was over cooked. The best part of her meal was the salad. I had the seafood feast and chips (fries). The shrimp was good and coated correctly. The cod and salmon coating was not very good. Too much grease, and over coated taking away from the flavor of the fish. My brother in law had the bacon avocado burger with onion rings. He eats anything, good or bad. Needless to say, we will not be returning to Elmer's anytime soon. read more

Go to the Broken Yolk instead if you're looking for flavor. If you like Denny's best then this is your place. Not bad but not great.

My friend Barb and I head into Elmer's after our morning shift at The Cat's Meow Thrift Store. We are consistently greeted by friendly servers, and Patty (she and her husband are owners) always drops by for a chat with us. All of the staff there make us feel valued as customers. Our food is consistently good (their biscuits are great!) and reasonably priced. We definitely look forward to our weekly visits to Elmer's. Thank you all. read more

We go here frequently. Though the staff changes, we've always found them to be very friendly and good. The food is always hot and tasty. We'll keep going back. read more

Certainly acceptable, but not awesome. 'Famous' pancakes were pretty so-so, the scrambled eggs were flat and dry, the bacon okay, but overall, breakfast was pretty disappointing. Next time I will go to Sam's station or Broken Yolk!! They do a great job advertising and asking for reviews on Yelp, guess that is why so many do. However, this is Corvallis, sooooooo read more

I really enjoyed my meal at this restaurant! As soon as we walked in, the host greeted us and dat us down. A waiter was by very quickly to take drink orders. They got our food out quickly after ordering. I like how they didn't come by every 5 minutes to make sure it was ok. They did come by a couple of times to fill drinks which is how it should be done. It's also fairly cheap so it's the perfect place to get great food and save a little money while also enjoying a nice restaurant! read more

This is where the seniors like to go for lunch. Elmer's has convenient parking, a pleasant staff, and prompt service. The food is less greasy than similar items at the restaurant right next door. The menu is average American fare at average American prices, but appears to be of better quality than what you find at similar chain restaurants. The prevailing sentiment among my friends is that the pies are better next door, but I like to eat at Elmer's because the food seems healthier. Our waitress, who used to work next door, confirmed our impression that Elmer's food is generally of better quality. read more

The place was nearly empty of customers when we went. We both ordered burgers w/ free refills on the french fries. The burgers were a long time coming, and when they did, the tops of the Kaiser rolls were crunchy, not soft, as though they'd been sitting around for awhile. The cheese, once melted, had already become hard again on top of a saltless patty. Ketchup & mustard were brought, but once we had placed a bit on our plates, both were whisked away. Another wait-person came along, well after we had finished our plates, and asked if we wanted more fries. When they came, they appeared old and crunchy and brown, as if they may have been fried twice. Again, that ketchup was whisked away as if there were only one bottle in the place. We both got the sense that something strange was going on. With all the staff running around, so few customers, and below-par food. I doubt we will be back. read more

I came into the restaurant on Tuesday this week in the evening. Upon my arrival, I was seated by a man who was eating off to the side of the front desk & did not seem very thrilled about my arrival. Although this was not the most pleasant welcoming--or the most sanitary--our waitress Lacey, really made us feel at home. She quickly greeted us and offered us many different selections of drinks (I didn't even know the served Pomegranate Mimosas), asked us about how our days went, and proceeded to take our order in a very organized fashion. Usually my kids make dinner a little difficult because they are so young, but Lacey was very polite when talking to them and made sure to adjust their "Bigfoot Breakfast's" to the kids' individual preferences. I am glad to say that although we had a rough entry, Lacey really made our experience here at Elmer's worth while! If you are to visit, make sure you sit with her! read more
