Food was fantastic staff was great coffee was the worst part of the trip trip tasted like.it was 6 days old or something read more

We were very pleased with our meal and service. I need to comment on our servers appearance. I'm all in for originality But not when it comes to food and hair. Our server had loose hair on his face and head. We did not experience a problem other than an uncomfortablness that we were subject to one. One star for that. read more

Typical country diner vibe with strong, but mediocre diner-style coffee. Comprehensive menu, particularly with regard to breakfast choices, which are available all day. Perfunctory, yet polite staff to greet and seat you. Portions are decent, and, unlike the coffee, the food is quite tasty. read more

Elmer's Restaurant - Elmer don't have much company for lunch today - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grants Pass, Oregon

Great service and food, old school atmosphere. I will say the prices have gone up quite a bit since last year.

It was our first time here (we're visiting from California), and I'm literally writing this review while still eating because it's that good. We've been to places like Black Bear Diner, Denny's, Norms - you name it. But I have to say, Elmer's is hands down the best restaurant experience I've had in a long time. The food quality is unbeatable. My mom - who is both a picky eater and a tough critic - was raving about the salad before the entrées even arrived. She ordered the omelette and kept saying how fresh and flavorful everything tasted. Nothing processed, nothing overly salted - just clean, delicious food. My dad, on the other hand, got the 9 oz prime rib. He's usually a big talker, but he went completely quiet while eating. For him, that's the highest compliment - when he's too busy savoring every bite to waste time on words. The service was impeccable. There seemed to be only one waiter/host, yet he was attentive, kind, patient, and made sure our waters were always full. We felt seen and cared for the whole time. I don't know if it's just an Oregon thing, but the hospitality here is unmatched - and the food matches it. My mom is already planning her next meal here for the next time we travel out of state. Many compliments to the chef (chef's kiss)! read more

Elmer's just dropped from a five star to a two star because they refused to serve me. Why? Because I wanted to take the food home to my family. Not everyone is able to dine in! The dine in experience is only good when you wish to dine in, it's not full of screaming kids and you have good service, I can't say about the screaming kids but the service is Non-existent. Elmer's used to be one of my favorite places but now I recommend IHOP read more

Great diner. Had the best BLT there that I've had in a long time. Good friendly service. Whenever I'm passing through I will stay over in town and dine here. read more

Elmer's Restaurant. Five Stars. But, at the same time, One Star. My wife and I like Elmer's Restaurant, but we were stunned today to see another couple walking to their table WITH THEIR DOG. Yes, inside the restaurant. The waitresses are not to be blamed, because they are caught in the middle of this whole thing. And it's a tough situation for the franchise owner. But if the city and county really DO care about public health, then highly visible signs need to be mandated for food establishments here in Grants Pass. This new trend of folks bringing their dogs into grocery stores and restaurants has now reached the insanity point. It's apparently become fashionable to do this, but it's in violation of Oregon state law, and businesses that sell food need to be in compliance. Genuine service dogs are the exception, but that is not what this is about. It's people bringing their PETS into places that are selling or serving food. And if a bite were to take place? A patron could legally sue the business out of existence. "The Oregon Health Authority emphasizes that allowing non-service animals in food establishments can pose health risks. This includes potential disease transmission and hygiene issues. Therefore, restaurants must maintain strict compliance with these regulations to ensure a safe dining environment for all patrons. Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs do not qualify as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)". read more

Stopped after driving 6 hours and the food is delicious! I had the Cascade Club with mustard. The fries are so fresh and delicious. The lady who helped me was Kaycee :) She was very sweet and hospitable! Next drive south, I will be stopping again! read more

The service was awesome. We were there when they opened. The coffee was mediocre, but hot on a cold November morning. The triple berry pancake and bacon were delicious. The place needs some remodeling, but it has charm. Most of the booths seats were grungy looking and torn from continuous wear. read more

Great service. The food is decent but the service was outstanding. Emma was our server and she was amazing!!!

Rolled into town for business and was craving the German pancake here and man oh man it did not disappoint! I ordered the combo with eggs and bacon, and my husband ordered the hungry rancher and we shared everything. All the meats are delightful! Bacon is great, ham is one of the best, and sausage is nice. The eggs are cooked to perfection as ordered, and the hashbrowns were crispy and tasty. The biscuit is so dang soft and pillowy, to die for! And of course, my beloved German pancake with powdered sugar, butter, and lemon is the star of the show! It's majestic! Coffee was extra strong and we loved that. What a fantastic brunch we had here, thank you Elmer's! read more

We really liked this place. The avocado Benedict was so fresh n tasty and have you ever seen German pancakes served anywhere else? I haven't..not even in Germany (ok..didn't really look too hard with the Christmas markets having too much good food!!) but you should really try them here! Got the traditional one and the melding of powdered sugar and lemon was like breakfast sweet tarts! Sooo yummy ! You will not be disappointed! This will be a regular stop when in Grants Pass again! read more

Elmers is an Oregon diner chain. It is reliable, tasty and with good service. Their clientele tends towards the gray hair side, but that's okay by me because I am gray haired. My wife and I have eaten here often. Their Benedict's, crepes and breakfasts are delicious! They have a superb crabacado omelette and I also love their pancakes! Stop by for reliable, tasty and friendly diner food. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this experience! I was staying at a motel next door, and was too tired to drive around looking for a place to eat dinner. I checked out the menu online, and had already decided on breakfast for dinner before I walked through the door. I was quickly seated and was impressed by the friendly service and comfortable, quiet atmosphere. I ordered the Stuffed Hash Browns, which included the aforementioned hash browns, along with a biscuit and seasonal fruit. The hash browns were thick shredded potatoes with cheesy scrambled eggs, stuffed with chopped up sausage and bacon, all topped with country gravy. I noticed and appreciated that they used Northwest products, like Tillamook Cheddar and Zenner's sausage. It was a delicious meal! Everything was well seasoned and fresh-tasting. The biscuit was also surprising good, soft and with a great flavor. The fruit was simple, just banana, grapes and pineapple, but it hit the spot. I was expecting a passable meal and ended up with a memorably delicious one! read more

We went here because it close to the charging place it was the best breakfast of my life the chocolate pancake were amazing and sausage and the English muffins and our Waiter Christopher was so fun and funny too! 5 stars (submitted by our 10 year old) read more

Was so pleased to drive into Grants Pass and see a sign announcing the local Elmer's . We walked in and were greeted warmly and seated. This was at one minute before CLOSING time. SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT FOOD WAS GREAT I hadn't even seen an Elmers in 40 years. They once had a restaurant and some franchise offices in my hometown of Napa, CA I had many fond memories of that place. One of my old friends had even been a cook there when we were teens. Please patronize this business. Their infrastructure is a bit worn, but they understand the meaning of Hospitality. Both the server and the manager were exemplary. Thanks to the closing chef, for making a wonderful meal, fresh and delicious! read more

Very nice place to stop when passing through. I bet it's a great locals place as well. The kids menus are adorable and the staff was great. Melissa the GM here was very kind and greats everyone. She makes you feel like you belong. Menu is awesome with tons of choices for everyone even those on special diets or with special dietary needs. Can't wait to stop back by here. Thank you so much for the great service and time taken to make us feel safe and at home. read more

Such a great place. Lucky enough to have Christopher as our server. Friendly and very attentive. Cobb salad was huge. Smaller portions. All the servers visiting with Vetrans. Happy Vetrans Day read more

I had the breakfast bowl. Pretty good, but a bit salty in spots. Also, I know they want to be different in their choices, but it would be easier to eat if you just tip the bowl empty onto the plate and eat it that way so you don't have to dig for bites. I'd do it again, though. Right off the fwy and it was 7 am so I had room in the parking lot for my truck/ trailer. read more

I took myself to Elmer's for my birthday. My late husband always took me there for prime rib and I wanted to still treat myself. It was the worst meat I've had in my entire life . It looked good . Rather pink. But it was the most tasteless tough horrible prime rib I've had by far. I have a torn rotator cuff and my shoulder was hurting so bad by the time I finished it , from having to saw through it, that I had to drive home one-handed . Even a mediocre prime rib should be able to be easily cut with a plastic knife ! I may go to Elmer's for one last chance for them to prove themselves to be the restaurant I always knew them to be for breakfast, but I'll never order premium again . It was a terrible end to a very sad birthday. read more

This is a good diner the food is just fine and the prime rib is better than expected.... but the service is amazing Our server Rodney is one of the best servers I have had in my entire life. Thank you read more

I was worried to get poor service as we came here about an hour before closing. But the host and waitress were very sweet and did not rush us. I was worried about the food, because there were mixed reviews on the restaurant. The food was fantastic and portions were large. Would come back again! read more

Very good German pancakes. Great service. The biscuit was dry. Prices were a little high.

I love Elmers..... it's those potato cakes that bring me back..... Again & Again!!! It's always nice to see a familiar food place when your traveling out of State..... that's what Elmers is to me... I didn't realize that Oregon allows casinos in all of the restaurants.... We only have one Elmer's in California that I'm aware of and it does not have gambling.... But it does have good food..... Our Server was very polite, and our food came out pretty quick..... Restrooms could use a little update but overall they did a great job!!!! read more

We had breakfast 2 mornings in a row. 1st morning Kaitlyn was our server /bartender . Very sweet and friendly. Our food and drinks were amazing. Great service for sure. The next morning we had Sascha. Again such a sweetheart. Amazing service and food again. We love Elmers in Grants Pass. Thanks for an awesome breakfast. See you girls next trip ! read more

Our server, Natalie was wonderful. Quick, polite, and asked us often if we needed any. Best server we've had in a long time. And of course, the food was excellent. You're doing it right Elmers! read more

Unfortunately, I have not been able to visit family, or Elmer's, in over a year. As with all of my previous visits, the Elmer's staff was very friendly and helpful. Melissa recognized me and ensured that I had plenty of water for my medical condition and Teresa provided excellent customer service in taking and delivering my Ham & Tillamook Cheese Omelette. I hope to return for lunch before I leave for my favorite sandwich of all time: the Cascade Club! read more

The service was excellent, despite the restaurant being busy, and the food was delicious, hot, and fresh.

Food was delicious with large portions. Came in just before closing and sweet lady (don't remember her name) made us feel so welcome! We will definitely revisit Elmer's next time to Grant's Pass. read more

Nice selection of hearty fare. Okay coffee, excellent service. I enjoyed the Tillamook potato cakes.

The order was placed by phone for pick up. Service on phone friendly. Pick up service friendly as well. Order was ready-large order. Most everything was good and decent portions on the seafood baskets. The Cobb salad looked nothing like picture online. However it had a lot of fresh items just not much avocado as seen online and the ranch dressing was plentiful but tasteless. It was a decent salad but the chicken was hard and not very meaty. Otherwise all good will try again probably inside. read more

Great breakfast choices! The customer service is awesome. Quick from order to table time and they keep your coffee cup topped off.

Good breakfast food options. Try the strawberry pancakes if you can when they're in season. Service was great even though they were quite busy because it was Father's Day, and Sunday morning. Love the country kitchen vibes read more
