    Bacon & Tillamook Potato Cakes & Eggs
    Phyllis B.

    Just in town for a short visit. We stopped here for breakfast as my husband remembered eating here as a child. It was as good as he remembered! We split the German pancake with lingonberry butter and the bacon & tillamook potato cakes. They were both very good. He also stated the ice tea was very good. Our server was very friendly and kept my husband's iced tea filled. The restrooms & restaurant were very clean. They had a very large selection on the menu!

    Sooo much better than an IHOP or Black Bear Diner. The waiters here were so nice and made sure all our drinks were filled, the ambiance was loud, but clean, and the food was surprisingly good for just being a diner. We'll definitely be coming back here next time we're in Pocatello.

    Great place to have breakfast in Pocatello. Seated quickly and Clinton my server was efficient and friendly. Delicious omelette and the hash browns weren't your normal prepackaged, but tasted home made. Perfectly crispy.

    Coffee & OJ

    If you are looking for good simple food they this is your spot. Seriously, this isn't a fancy spot, think diner with a twist as they do offer things that you aren't going to find at IHOP. We came in and were seated quickly. The server made some drink recommendations - she stated that the OJ wasn't freshly squeezed but wasn't concentrated, i disagree and I got a butterscotch white chocolate vanilla latte - couldn't taste the butterscotch in it so I'd stick to one flavor. When it came to food, I got the Dutch baby and it came to the table quickly which I'm sure most people would appreciate however whenever I've ordered them other places I've been told to expect a wait. This one was much thinner almost crepe like and it sadly wasn't as hot as I would have liked it. Sadly that can be said about all the food. It's like it day in the window waiting to be brought to us where it cooled down. Even with that said, I'd go back and give it another try if I ever found myself in the area.

    The service was good and the vibe is old school diner. The prices were super expensive especially for breakfast but overall was a good experience.

    Classic German Pancake

    The quality is immaculate!! Food is delicious! Hands down will travel out here again to come eat here again. I want to try lunch next time! Service was a little slow but it was also super busy. Despite it being busy we were sat right away. When we did receive assistance they were very kind.

    Amazing service from Kari. The food was amazing. We stopped here for lunch, and was greeted immediately and sat instantly. I recommend the Caramel Latte, and the avocado eggs benedict. It was seriously amazing- I cleared my plate. "The works" hashbrowns was also ASTRONOMICAL. If you really like hashbrowns then i really recommend trying these. Everyone I ate with loved them. Also- the German Pancakes are HUGE. My dad and brother got them and said they were great. I would definitely eat here again if i'm ever in town again! The restaurant had amazing hospitality and as we left we were told either "Have a good one!" Or "thanks for coming in!" By multiple employees. The only complaint I have is it was a little bit cold, but i was wearing a tube top so it's really not their fault. Anyways, i really recommend!!

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Best brunch I've probably ever had & I am not a breakfast person. Service is fast & great prices.

    Prime rib

    I've been to Elmer's a few times and with my family it's been awesome again! When we were deciding where to go we choose Elmer's because they've given so much to the community. Our server was lovely and dinner was tasty! I especially loved the homemade ranch, potatoes, broccoli and cinnamon roll pancakes! Everything was good! I still wish I'd gotten the pancake in the oven! We were just too full. Guess we'll be back!

    Stopped here on a roadtrip trying to get a quick breakfast and we were in and out in 45. Food is simple but awesome staff is friendly, sometimes you hear some gossip which sets the vibe for this lil town diner. I fw it

    Classic Eggs Benedict with fresh fruit and mimosa, great breakfast.

Several pints later, the entire bar is one big family hanging out. We tried the super nachos at the owner's recommendation... And they did not disappoint. What makes these nachos super is the addition of TOTS! You read that right. Tortilla chips AND tater tots covered in black olives, tomatoes, ground beef, onions, sour cream, and jalapeños. Victoria also gave us a couple sides of their housemade salsa for an extra kick! We'll definitely be back to try some of the other items on their large food menu and to enjoy the back patio when the weather warms up.

I was only there for an hour or so before, I was not feeling good so I had a friend pick me up. I went to pick up my car at 9:45 am. My car was towed!! I had to pay $395.00 in cash because custom towing and recovery don't except cards. $100.00 of that $395 was for after hours charge at 10:00 am on a Sunday. Then $45.00 was for storage charge for storing my car not evan for 2 hours. I would be charged $45.00 a day to have my car there. This blows my mind, since it is illegal to drive while drinking. They have no problem taking our money for the alcohol drinks that we got from them. Which makes me not legal to drive. Then not Evan give me 24 hours to pick up my car. This is not ethically or morally right. This owner does not care about the safety of his community or the people that come to his bar.
