    The front of the menu

    I've never been to an Elmer's before this one was large and spacious. Our server was Breeana was our server and she was excellent. My husband and I are traveling so we split a ham and cheese omelette. We got a biscuit. I got fruit and he got hashbrowns. I also got a coffee and it was pretty good.. They also have a lighter menu but not much is on it.

    Wow this is the old 5 points restaurant. Not much has really changed. It's still got a really good breakfast here!!! I always like to sit in the lounge here. We had one of the best waiters/bartenders name Rob who served us. I will never forget his name as we both have the same name. I got the Denver Omlette and I really liked it. It was hot and delicious. I really like the hashbrowns here they are crispy and delicious. This place was a one of the best Elmer's I have been to in a long time. Every time I seem to go to an Elmer's now days they pretty much suck. She got a breakfast bowl and really liked it.. I would come back here again for breakfast for sure.

    Classic breakfast spot with great food. Service was a bit slow since it's a large place, but the staff was super nice. Tons of menu options and they're flexible with modifications. Worth a visit if you're in the mood for a laid-back breakfast or brunch!

    We arrived on a Tuesday morning and there was hardly anyone having breakfast. We were greeted and shown to a table. Service was friendly and our food came to the table quickly. I had the ham and cheese omelet which was great. My date had Mr. Elmer's omelet. By the time we were eating more hungry people were arriving. Overall a great experience and good food and excellent service.

    Monday night, and they were not busy. We sat down and had our drinks in less than 5 minutes. The restraunt was clean and cozy. The only hard to take thing for some people is the fact that there seemed to be reduced phone service inside the restaurant. There may be a lot of metal in the structure. This is the first time in a long time we have had good potato pancakes. For some reason, restaurants don't know how to make them anymore. The omelet was loaded with bacon and crab. The potato pancakes were hot and delicious. If you come here to eat, either come hungry or get a to-go box. Good food, large portions, good prices. Will be back.

    There weren't a lot of places to eat. So I was glad to find Elmers right next to the Four Points Sheraton I was staying at. I ordered the crab BLT salad and it hit the spot. No frills but the meals are done well and the price isn't too bad. I would come again to try their prime rib dinner.

    I am never super critical of restaurants... But this place was just bad - the environment was sad. The staff could care less so the the service was bad. The food was not good at all - there was not any real redeeming qualities to be found. There are too many other places around to be this mediocre.

    This is what I ordered

You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

But the last few times I've stopped in for a meal, it feels like the food isn't quite as impressive as it used to be. Could be all in my head. Not sure. But it's always a nice spot to hang out and chat with friends, you can get seated quicker if you enter through Over & Out, which basically functions as an extension of the main Observatory, with it's own bar and pool tables.

I got the Pendleton burger, it was as good as I remember, I got tons of fries along with it which was great. It was around 16 dollars, but it's a 2 dollar up charge for fries......yes, they charge you extra for fries....at a burger place...they default to potato chips (cheaper for them). I don't care what your "reasoning" is, charging extra for fries at a burger place is pathetic. In terms of service, can't comment too much since I got takeout, but the women there seemed nice and the place was fairly clean, I couldn't make out any dirty areas. They have a few tables outside, on a nice summer day it would be a nice place for lunch. Parking. There's no real parking for this areas since it's in busy street, so you'll have to park a block or two away most of the time, but it's not a big deal. Overall it's a good place and if I happen to find myself in the area, wanting a burger, I don't see why I wouldn't go there again.

It's near impossible to find restaurants that make your money worth it and Sayler's does that by always giving you sides of bread, salads, veggies and more. The steaks are great, sides are great and they even have oyster shooters. Sometimes I've ended up with a ribeye with too much fat, but I personally love steak fat so it's not the biggest deal to me. They do a great job at achieving medium rare/rare. The ambience is moody and rustic, the parking is relatively easy even on busy nights, and I've always had great service.
