We love Elmer's Restaurant! They have great food and excellent employees. Service is A+!

Crystal was an awesome bartender .. great service.. she made great drinks and food.. will be back again soon

This place tasted like childhood. Best diner since Big Boy. 10/10 worth eating at.. read more

Service - excellent! Ambiance - just fine. My gripe is with the food, specifically the lack of pork sausage patties for breakfast. Apparently some corporate bean-counter decided that breakfast sausage links are now preferable to patties, so Elmer's did away with the patties. The costs basis for this decision is not known. I travel to Costco from Coos Bay periodically, and it has been my habit to get eggs & sausage patties for breakfast on the way in. It looks like those days are now over. I'll have to try Shari's or some other place close by. Oh, and it doesn't help that Elmer's is now charging 4 bucks for a cup of coffee. It's good coffee, but it's not four dollar coffee. read more

Johnna is so wonderful, give that woman a raise! The world needs more people like her. She was so sweet and makes the best mimosas ever! The food was also fantastic. read more

First time here to Elmer's Restaurant, definitely not the last time. The selection is absolutely amazing, so many great choices! My wife had the Lingonberry Crepes, I had the Ham and Tillamook Cheddar Omelette. The portions are spot on and filling. A must try in Grant's Pass. read more

Everything about this Elmer's is wonderful!! The food was excellent with plenty of selections to choose from. We visited this location while on vacation with our friends and family. The service was truly OUTSTANDING!! The first time we visited (there were just 4 of us ladies) "Johnna" was our server. She couldn't have been more pleasant, patient and friendly, not to mention she was such a beautiful lady! The second time we had "Christopher" who served our party of 15 - he was WONDERFUL! He paid careful attention to detail and was personable and friendly throughout the entire experience. Quite often reviews are written when things aren't right but, I wanted to take the time to commend these two hard working people - their kindness and professionalism is appreciated!!!!!!!!! read more

Today was our second visit for dinner en route home to southern California. The Cobb Salad was only average twice. The potato pancakes meal and Belgian waffle meal were good. Today's server Alanah was very good because she was responsive and fast. I remembered the manager from my first visit. He is polite and seems to manage well. Pleasant open feel atmosphere inside. read more

My friend and I went for dinner this evening and it was just excellent. The crab BLT was so huge my friend could only eat half. My fried shrimp, and french fries were very good and more than I could eat the server Emma was so attentive and friendly. We just had an overall great time with everything,staff & food. read more

Good food, almost always what you have grown to expect. Speedy service, staff remembers quickly. Your orders.

We saw this brunch place by coincidence while driving around in Grants Pass. I am glad that we had time to enjoy the brunch here. This place seems to be a popular spot for local folks. We ordered Egg's Benedict, Fried Chicken Steak and German pancake. All the dishes were very good and service was very nice. read more

Not a fan. Huge crowds of people WERE THERE as I'm sure there are amazing items on the Menu. When we came in*** hardly anyone ** had food on their tables (Sunday Morning). Our food came in less than 5 min*** however*** ICE COLD. The Cinnamon Bun Pancake is to die for however THE Avocado EGGS BENEDICT LOOKS AMAZING TO THE EYE ....... IT LACKS ..... 1. Flavor, literally flavorless. 2. Cheap muffin..... Weird texture is not like a toasted muffin. 3. Sauce is chalky once again no flavor or even a hint of a hollandaise. 4. Pale pink hard tomatoes (it's Sept still ripe tomatoes out there) OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE EXPERIENCE The waitress was AMAZING-Phenomenal and made up for any shortcomings. Great service nothing short of perfect. I highly suggest the PANCAKES. read more

We love Elmer's. But tonight, I ordered 1 fish and chips and 2 prime rib dinners to go, baked potatos w/everything, 1 med and 1 med rare. Got fish & chips all good. The prime rib dinners were not marked as to which was rare and which was med rare, the potatoes were dumped in the container whole and uncut, no butter. Utensils for 2, not 3 and no horseradish sauce, bread or anything else. We paid quite enough for this disappointing meal. Have never been disappointed in Elmers over the years until now. read more

I recently visited the Elmer's Restaurant in Grants Pass, OR. I loved the place! The food was very good and great selection! But I was most impressed with the service I received!!! My server was Rodney, I can not say enough about this man; professional, courteous, and kept checking in to make sure I was happy! Also a shout out to Emma, the manager, who took the time to talk to me about my experience, and Kayla... all wonderful people who have a nice place! I am going there again!!! read more

Christopher helped our 7 person party twice. Once for breakfast and once for lunch. The coffee is great for a dinner, the food is yummy, the manager is present overseeing everything and all the employees are nice and helpful. The decor is fun and old fashion and clean. We stop here every year on our way to and from vacation. Thank you all! read more

Really good food, nice people and great service. All their food never disappoints. Love to eat there

Had a great breakfast. The works hash browns are awesome. The omelette was fantastic. I think it was called the sun omelette.

We found Elmer's and knew we had to try it. The ratings were great. The restaurant is clean and inviting. The fireplace is so cute! Lisa was great and the food was so good! We are visiting from California and so happy we found this location in Grant's Pass. read more

Right when we walked through the door we were seated, which was nice! Our waitress was a helpful, lovely woman who was running around all on her own so the pace of placing an order/ receiving our food was very slow. I ordered the eggs benedict with a side of fruit, not to be picky but my fruit was warm. Aside from the oddly warm fruit, my meal was perfect. My mom ordered the crab salad (can't recall what it's referred to on the menu) and really enjoyed it. The lettuce, in her words, was "very questionable." The crab, avocado, and bacon was the highlight of the salad for sure. The prices here are pretty reasonable, and it's worth a shot if you're passing through! read more

It's one thing to be refused service for holding a Starbucks soy chai but another when being asked to leave before you had a chance to finish the last sip. And don't worry about the next time cause there won't be one! How about, you can sit in the waiting area and finish your drink before coming in and sitting at your table. Does that work for your redneck, backwards, ill fated chasing of customers out the front door read more

Nice restaurant. Feel home. Service was awesome. You feel a part of family, even I step in for the first time nice food

We had A wonderful time visiting Grant's Pass, Or. And on Saturday morning I also enjoyed Super Excellent Fish and chips at Elmer's Restaurant, while my buddy Leo and his girlfriend said, "these are the best pancakes we have ever had!" And we were treated like royalty by our server and waitress! Sincerely can't wait to come back! read more

I had lunch with a friend. I enjoyed the French dip. But he wasn't as satisfied with the fish n chips,. Our waitress was lovely the service was prompt and friendly. When we went to pay the check. The mgr asked about our experience, and because my friend wasn't thrilled with the fish, the mgr. knocked off $6.00. Wow! I was impressed by the generosity and respect given. I love Elmers The food is good consistent and great service even when busy. Also, the place is well kept, clean. read more

This is loooong overdue bec I couldn't find my info, but I feel it is very important to put this out there. Manager Brandon Orlow was very rude to newer pregnant employee and my mom and I when asking what came on an item bec the menu did not state it. He told the 3 of us to "Read the menu". Before this point, my 73 year old mom and I were waiting to be helped and this horrible manager Brandon never once greeted us or told us someone would be with us or anything for a good 25-30 minutes he kept calling up customers that needed to be checked out instead of helping us first. Very rude and unprofessional to not acknowledge us. I was so upset that others could tell and asked what was wrong and if they could help me...I do not know how this manager got this position bec he is NOT manager material. I've managed for over 17 years and he did not handle himself well at all talking to a new employee and 2 guests the way he did. We are not stupid. We did read the menu and my mom is allergic to tomatoes so we needed to know if they were on the sandwich. You should be talking to the people that work with him or ask them to anonymously write their opinion of him and I bet you'd discover a lot. Btw, there were tomatoes on it and you could have put my mom in the hospital!!!! Luckily 3 other female employees heard our question and caught our order before it was made! They are the only reason you got 2 stars bec the food ended up not being so great. The 4 ladies deserve 5 stars but I need to ensure this manager is atleast spoken to. read more

Despite the good reviews, I wasn't impressed with Elmer's restaurant. I was staying in a nearby hotel which recommended Elmer's so we dropped by for dinner. It's located right off the freeway and near several hotels so it is convenient for travelers. Dinner was fine, but portion sizes were small. I'd normally give it a 3/5 stars, but I'm knocking off a star due to the inflated rating and small portion sizes. Food was alright. Better than Denny's, but nothing special. There's not a whole ton of options in the area outside of fast food so I wasn't too disappointed. I feel that their prices are fairly high for what they offer and their portion sizes are pretty pathetic. Service was fine, but dinner came out slow despite it being late and not very busy. Would I be back if I ever stay in Grant's Pass again? Maybe if I wanted an easy dinner and was too lazy to explore further off the freeway. It's better than Denny's, but nothing to write home about. read more

Love Elmers, wish we had them in Calif. We came in almost closing time and they were nice enough to make us two german pancakes which take extra time to make. If you dont know what a german pancake is google it, you will not be disapointed! great cook and wait persons. Will see you next time I am in Oregon! read more

Been wanting to try, finally had a chance. Liked everything a LOT! Restaurant was clean, super friendly waitress and the German Pancake was the stuff dreams are made of - YUM! Elmer's is much better than Shari's or Denny's. I'll be back! read more

Ordered take out...a Club and fish-n-chips. What a disappointment. The club was not as good as it was in the past and the fish n chips came with 3 tasty pieces of fish, 10 fries (not joking), 30 packets of catsup for 10 fries, no tarter sauce nor malt vinegar. Not going there again. read more

I've ordered three different times for take out and all three orders were excellent. I ordered breakfast during our move here that was great, since then I've ordered the fish and chips and then the chicken basket which have both been really good. Some of the best food in this area for sure! The young lady up front that greeted me and gave me my order the last couple of times is extremely sweet and always makes me smile! read more

I'm currently in Oregon for the summer visiting a childhood friend and when my gf and I passed by we immediately stopped to yelp you guys. The pictures and reviews made us have come check it out. So glad we did! We came in and were seated pretty quickly, Keith was our waiter and he was fantastic. The small talk, the recommendations, the food, the service and the atmosphere - everything was excellent. We're from Los Angeles so we're loving the hospitality in Oregon thus far (it's a huuuuuge change). I opted for the Bacon & Tillamook® Potato Cakes & Eggs made with Tillamook cheddar cheese, onion & Daily's® smokehouse bacon topped with sour cream It comes with 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon and a tiny little side of applesauce. It was so good we literally had to come back today for it again! Today we were helped out by Hope and yet again everything was amazing. Keith's even came over to say hello again which was sweet. We also got to chat with the General Manager Trina and she was a sweetheart. Never have I been to an establishment where I have felt SO welcomed! Everyone here is genuinely friendly and sweet and just great. We look forward to returning and interacting with the staff more, we really do love the food and the environment. I would definitely recommend this place to any and every one I come across read more

Party of 7 stopped in on our way to Crater Lake, all outdoor seating which was great on this beautiful day. They were able to sit us close enough together that it didn't seem that we were separated yet maintained the mandated distance. Now the food...oh my goodness! Amazing! Huge portions, fresh fruits, and meats cooked to just the right temperature! If we were from the area I'd make this a regular spot. read more

This place is filthy. The carpet must be 100 years old. The waitress acted like she didn't care. The food was a waste of money. Last time I eat there. read more

Great place for breakfast if you are in Grants Pass. The hashbrowns are great. Service is very nice. Prices are awesome.

Elmers is a staple. It's reasonable food at a reasonable price. There's some imagination behind what they're giving you and it's always presented as it should be. I go there when nothing else is open and I'm happy to be there. read more

There were five of us in our group. Our waitress, Chelsea ,was fantastic! She really was patient and attentive. She had a sincere smile on her face the entire evening. 3 of us ordered the crab salad and we were not disappointed! They do not skimp on the crab meat. The salad was fresh and I love their blue cheese dressing. Our friend had the veggie burger and he says it was one of the best ones he's had. This Elmer's is a great restaurant for a group setting. read more

We were looking for a nice brunch place, and we found it! We ordered an omelet, 'Looking for the Sun' and split it -- which they did for us in the kitchen. It was delicious and flavorful and the perfect amount of food (the hubs had eaten earlier) with fruit and even an extra biscuit! Our friendly waitress, Trish, was amazing! Highly recommend and will go back. Lots of options to try! read more
