Has a diner-like feel inside, and the service is quick, solicitous and friendly. Coffee and water are served immediately, and our order was taken within 5 min of being seated. I had the veggie omelet with egg whites only--it was perfectly cooked, light and delicious. Good ratio of veggies to egg, and the veggies were sautéed separately from the egg. And they didn't charge extra for whites only! My husband had the apple baby--crisp a and light and flavorful. The restroom was really clean and modern also. I'll definitely be back! read more

We love this Elmer's. It is always very clean, and while it can be crowded, it is one of the few breakfast spots in Gresham. We had GREAT service from Marissa yesterday morning. She was very attentive and friendly. Food was great----I had the very naughty German pancake with lemons and butter, served with a side of crisp bacon and 2 eggs for about $10. Hubby had the German pancakes with caramel apples---oh yeah. All was delish. Very generous portions and friendly service---love it. read more

Consistently good. Quick service. I am always amazed at the amount of friendly staff. I tried the shrimp skillet. WOW! Loved it. This is one place that even when you go for your tried and true favorite you get tempted to try something else. Glad I did I found yet another favorite. Good job Elmer's. read more

We got lost and ended up here for breakfast good thing we did it was amazing the staff was very polite and helpful food was nice and hot when it came out and for a party of 5 ..2 adults and 3 kids we paid no more than $35 read more

Food was typical Elmer's. Ate everything on my plate. Big party in the extra room resulted in terrible service. Spoke to the manager who was sorry about it but if you know there is a big party then you have to help in that area where that server is struggling. That's what being the manager is all about. read more

We stopped for breakfast on our way home to Bend. What a nice fifties place! Waitress was very gracious and attentive. The lingonberry crepes were fabulous... the eggs Benedict were ok but not exceptional. Everything including bathrooms very clean read more

You can't go wrong at Elmer's for a meal. My family loves to go here because there is always something for everyone. My favorite yesterday were the blueberry and peach crépes! So delicious. Lots of attention from the servers to make sure we didn't need anything. I hope Elmer's is around forever! read more

You need to have the German pancakes with powdered sugar and lemon butter it is hugh and so good made with lots of eggs so it is very airy. Hubby had the turkey dinner with all the usual stuff which he also enjoyed read more

I ate lunch here on 5-7-18. Sally was my server. I ordered the Fish and Chips. They were very good. Sally was quick with the service and checked on me several times. The price, for the amount of food received, was excellent. read more

Wasn't too impressed by this place. Wife and I arrived for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't all that busy. Both of us decided to go with the Prime Rib Dip. Really have no complaints about the service as it was spot on. Didn't have to beg for refills which is mostly what I want at restaurants but what really was a let down was the food. When the sandwiches came out it was sliced in the middle and upon pulling it apart there were a couple sections of red colored meat in both of them. Now I don't mind stuff being medium but these pieces were barely hot if not a little cold. So I ended up just pulling it out and not eating it and the wife did the same. Another issue is that I'm a crispy French fry person and all of the fries were soggy as hell. Weh....at that point I really considered sending the dish back but who knows what I'd get back. Walking out we were both in agreement that we should have just ordered breakfast instead. read more

The best breakfast in a long time! Very busy but only waited 2 min to be seated. 10 min after ordering our food was here. Bacon egg hashbrown an biscuit. Simple but the best in Gresham so far. I will be back. read more

When I have the option, and those times are less and less these days, my daughter and I love to frequent Elmers for a brunch of sorts. She always orders the same thing of the kids menu, but I have tried darn near every breakfast itme they have and haven't been disappointed yet. The German Pancake isn't as tradtional as a true "Dutch Baby" but it still tastes good as do their crepes (my favorite) waffles, french toast, and so on. Staff is always super friendly, I always give them a decent tip because they work hard to earn it. read more

Went to Elmers today with my wife and kids and it was great!The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is clean. read more

Elmer's Restaurant - Yummy!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

nothing on my plate was even edible or worth taking a picture of.... the fresh fruit was the farthest thing from fresh you can imagine.... absolute garbage don't waste your time or money at this place read more

This is such a wonderful Elmers location. Yury Ramirez was the supervisor the night I was there and she is excellent. The food is always wonderful, my dad dearly loves it. And it's also an excellent price point. I just had to say thank you many times over for the excellent service and the excellent food!!!!! Gina read more

This is the best breakfast restaurant we have eaten at in Gresham. Service was fast and friendly always with a smile. I had the German pancake breakfast and every thing was cooked to perfection. This will be our new breakfast stop while in Gresham. Keep up the good work. read more

I'll start off with the great service, not only was everyone on the staff smiling but they were attentive to anything we needed. The place was busy but we got our table in under 10 minutes and got our food served quickly. The food itself was great and the prices were extremely reasonable. If I'm ever in the area again this is definitely the place to stop. read more

This restaurant is top quality. Frankly my family won't eat breakfast out anywhere else. The food is plentiful and they are great about adjusting an order to accommodate my preferences. It's like home with the nicest wait staff and really good food. An extra 5 stars and shout out to waitresses Jo and Erica who simply are awesome. They always have a smile and Erica sometimes has a song for us. We love it! Thanks for taking such good care of us. read more

We have been going to this Elmer's for several years now. It is so good to go somewhere and feel comfortable and pleasant. The waitresses are very attentive to the customers. Coffee is great and we truly enjoy it. The menu is extensive and the selections are great as well. We like to try new specials when they come out; tho my wife enjoys the ranch breakfast, eggs over medium, hashbrowns and bacon, with a side of pancake instead of toast/biscuit. I am a bit more adventurous...but its a great place to eat breakfast any time of the day. read more

Sally this morning made eating at a restaurant so simple. I was happy to tip her. For years now I have not had a good server since living in Bend Oregon the standards in Portland OR terrible but Sally did an excellent job and all she did was ask for our food and drinks order and just scared and she wasn't overbearing and she wasn't neglectful at all she was just perfect. Thank you Sally and thank you management for hiring her. I haven't wanted to tip a server in years because most of them kind of suck here in Portland. read more

I'd never been to Elmer's in the 20+ years I've been here. I pictured an outdated restaurant where I'd be surrounded by great-grandparents. I was wrong! The restaurant was bright, cheerful, and inviting, with tons of great local photography. The service was outstanding. The menu was impressive. Best of all, breakfast was extra-ordinary. The coffee was really good too. I can't wait to go back. I think I have a new favorite breakfast place. I can't believe it! read more

This replaces IHOP as our GoTo Sunday breakfast place. IHOP in Fairview has gone downhill with slow service and incorrect orders. This Elmer's has none of those problems. Service is prompt and polite. The servers speak English. Hot food is served hot and cold food is served cold and within a very reasonable wait time eventhough the place was packed with customers. The staff checks frequently for coffee refills and to see if anything is needed. Awesome!!!! read more

While traveling to Mt Hood, our group stopped here for breakfast. Service was prompt, courteous and friendly. We each ordered a different dish and all were excellent. read more

My experience here was positive and my first time into Gresham in over 20+ years?; My ex-coworkers [now Retired] meet here for Breakfast and chatter on the 3rd Tuesday morning every month; I must admit it was somewhat of a Drive to get here? But the Breakfast was very good! I ordered the Chicken fried steak with eggs and Hash-Browns, with toast, and finished off with good coffee! I still have never known why this Breakfast is named Chicken fried steak when it's actually Beef not chicken? But oh well; one of those mystery's I suppose? My Breakfast was excellent and very tasty so that's mostly what I care about anyway! I will come again sometime whenever I get the time to get away and get to Gresham again. read more

First of all the staff is amazing extremely friendly and great food very well rounded menu..highly recommend the chicken fried steak one of my favorites add in sharp cheddar melt the cheese into your hashbrowns little salt pepper mix to add around in the gravy with the chicken fried steak good cup coffee can't get much better than that. read more

Stopped in here with a friend. Very friendly staff, quick to take order. Food promptly arrived fresh and hot. Coffee was decent. Lots of menu items to choose from! This chain doesn't exist in California as far as I know, so I expected Denny's-style food and atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised with much better food and service. Great prices too. read more

Consistently good, and fair prices. The only downside is that when it gets busy, it's also quite loud, but that's par for the course at Elmer's. read more

Great service, good food at fair price! Maybe could use a little updating to entry flooring and seating? But hey their busy so what the hell!! read more

We were there yesterday after reading earlier very good reviews and decided to take a chance and drive out there. Bad decision. I had the $11.50 Reuben sandwich which was lukewarm at best. Rye bread barely toasted and soggy from the mass of wet sauerkraut inside. No garnish on the plate just fries..no pickle, nothing else for that price. My sons cheeseburger was also below par with just about 11 fries, no mustard or ketchup on the burger and not even on the tables. I did complain and got my meal (mostly not eaten) gratis but we won't be back. The staff was nice enough though but you can find that at many other places along with delicious food. read more

I was considering putting this as four stars because the staff was AWESOME. But then I got to thinking and there was one thing that really made me uncomfortable. So we will start with that. The tables/ chairs are too close. When we arrived and when we left we had to squeeze between chairs. It was really awkward and I don't enjoy having to invade other people's space just to move around. I can only imagine how much of a hassle that is for the wait staff too. That's the only thing I can think of that was not so good during our experience. I like that they have their food locally sourced. As far as American food goes, this is totally American. Their prices are really great. I ordered a great deal of food and my portion was only like twelve dollars. This won't be a place I will frequent because I don't usually go out to eat American food. But this is a nice place to go if you're feeling lazy and don't want to cook breakfast. read more

Elmer's Restaurant - What the crew ordered. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

I was quite happy with this place. I had the eggs Benedict and it was really good. Service was great even though they were busy.

Good food, clean and staff is friendly and attentive. However, please stop vacuuming next to occupy tables????

Dined here on a recommendation for a good brunch with the wife. The food was well prepared, with the delightful characteristics of a home cooked breakfast without the inevitable burnt taste from the wife's cooking. The menu had a few interesting items I look forward to trying in the future now that I know they do the basics right. read more

Typical chain restaurant, other words, glorified Denny's. The waiting staff is inconsiderate and snobbish. Our waitress served my German pancake 10 minutes before our food, she was shocked to find out that I've never had this enormous chewy flab of half-cooked dough they called German pancakes. My daughter ordered crepes with fresh strawberries, in fact they offer a side of fresh strawberries with everything. When her dish arrived, there were mushy, cooked giant strawberries that had a consistency of wet cotton balls. We had to pick them all out, the kid was disgusted. Well, eggs were OK, I'll give them that. read more

Always a good breakfast stop. Nothing out of the ordinary but always consistent and good. I have been going to this location for over 20 years and though it used to be better it never disappoints. My favorite is the German pancake! read more

This place reminds me of a Denny's. It was clean and the service was good. It had average food with a big variety. I was hoping for something more original. I didn't realize it was a chain. read more

We booked a reservation for a group party at this specific Elmer's. We thought it would be a great idea and give this place a try. Unfortunately, it did not turn out the way we were expecting. Number one issue was how the staff treated us on the day of. Meals were served late, were told one thing and then another. Poor customer service and communication. If we were only treated well as customers, our experience and this review might have been different. It's unfortunate, but we would rather go somewhere else the next time we are in the area than be treated that way ever again! read more

Yummm! Delicious food! Friendly service! For the convenience and the prices, this is a great place to stop for an early morning breakfast!
