    Elmer don't have much company for lunch today
    Craig F.

    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.

    Triple Berry Pancake

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    What my 7 year old son said half through our meal - mind you, even before pie was served : "I think…read morewe found our favorite restaurant in Oregon". What my wife said - mind you, this after a week on the road from WA to SoCal and back, and having enjoyed a bevy other EXCELLENT restaurants: "we saved the best for last". Finally, our experience can be best summed up by what Kevin told me over my allergen inquiry email a week before we came in, and then again by what Alanna told us when I had follow up questions during our visit: "We'll take good care of you". And THEY DID. Punky's is a special place. Thoughtfully serving food in quality and quantity that'll make feel like you're in someone's home. We genuinely laughed out loud as a family at the jokes in the blue book at the table; my wife and I got misty eyed in the Vet room; and even though we intended to make it a quick stop, we had no problem adjusting our schedule to linger a while. We left feeling very full. In more ways than one. Thank you. We'll be back and be in touch.

    Skipped the Black Bear Diner for a more local place on my drive to Portland and so glad I did…read more Probably the best corned beef hash I've ever had. Super friendly service too. Wish I lived closer so I could try more of the menu. Also conveniently located next to a Safeway gas station with good prices if you're continuing on. Definitely worth a few minutes off I-5 for a better meal than you'd get at most places along the way.
