The food is at best a 4 out of 10. The food just seems rushed and not cared about. The oregon lottery side is nice and clean compared to the main area. Now I also feel bad for the person in the oregon lottery side because they have to deal with your food orders and alchohol orders all by them selfs and do the lottery. So when I come here to use lottery I always tip really well cause they get no help and have to maintain and clean the whole area alone. I probably won't be coming back anytime soon for food read more

An absolutely timeless greasy spoon breakfast experience awaits you at Elmers. From the rich, gravy laden chicken fried steak, to the crispy, finely executed hash browns (still ask for extra crispy), as well as the brutally efficient service that keeps the coffee hot and the wait short, this is the whole breakfast package. The free dum dums at checkout are the cherry on top of this Tigard culinary gem. read more

Excellent service, fast and hot. Ordered two eggs over med with crispy hash browns and homemade chicken sausage links, with a biscuit on the side. Biscuit was dry, but everything else including the coffee were really good. read more

This is the fist time my husband and I visited this location. We are here out of town and the restaurant was recommended by one of your locals. We were greeted by your server Addie. You could tell she was bothered by her tone of voice when she took our orders. She was very monotone, robotic and distracted - I feel her service was a bit cold. She never said hi how are you , thank you for coming in and, when she served our food, she never gave my husband and the opportunity to enjoy our food. When she approached or table again with or check, she tossed it across or table. Cold, unpleasant, robotic and in-personable. I don't know if we come back here , the service is bothering to us , she treated us like a factory meat product. read more

Love this place, too bad it's so far from Bend. Great menu, crazy good pancakes. Great menu.

I would normally not review for this type of reason but Elmers your to go ordering is totally asinine!!!!! I wanted two Dungeness crab salads to go- tried online, tried to call and order- NOPE. Sat myself down at a table of 1...ordered two salads, a glass of wine- cause why not?! Had the salads delivered to my table and packed them up myself! What?? What a waste of your staffs time! I also sat for over 5 minutes in a fairly empty restaurant before the manager came over to help me. She was extremely nice and the two stars belong to her...will update if I am blown away with my self packed crab salads! Covid or not- everyone is doing to go orders!??? Get with it Elmers! Irene was helpful in explaining there were just too many complaints about missing sauce, dressings/etc- so as one reviewer mentioned- thanks to all the Karen's for ruining it for us! But LETS GET THE SHIT TOGETHER ELMERS AND DO TAKEOUT. read more

Never have I had such poor service at breakfast time. From the time I walked into the building, everyone on the clock seemed to be bothered, distracted, cold, unwelcoming, didn't want to be in the moment and absolutely rude. The girl at the front desk taking the payments had a problem with keeping her hands off her face. She was scratching her ears, running her hands through her hair and using the POS system to prop her chin up while leaning over the counter the entire time my wife and I were eating our breakfast. Addie, dear Addie needed to go home! She was our server. Very calculated, no hi how are you, thank you for coming in, how can I help you, do you have any questions regarding our menu - nothing! I could have went to McDonalds and got better service and paid less. My wife and I are out of towners and travel for a living. This restaurant needs coaching on greeting the customer and saying thank you - customer service, people skills and hospitality. What is hospitality, the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers, the business of providing food, drink, and accommodation for customers of restaurants, bars, etc. or guests at hotels."he said that young people learn valuable skills by taking jobs in hospitality" Merriam Webster's Dictionary defines hospitality as, "generous and friendly treatment of visitors and guests or hospitable treatment." Dictionary.com goes further to define it as, "the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers." Elmer's at this location failed to deliver this morning! read more

Elmer's has all the qualities of a good diner- Good service, huge portions, lots of options to satisfy everyone, and breakfast all day. They have all the classic breakfast staples, large portions but smaller portions are available ("lighter side"). My veggie omelet was pretty good with fresh zucchini and the biscuit was light and airy. The German pancakes look really good, so will have to try that next time. read more

Hot tub time machine.. pls is stuck in the 70s and is dirty. With all the business this place does, you'd think they remodel but instead the owners likely fill their coffers with the profits rather then clean the please up. Food is so so at best. Bland and over priced. Bathrooms are a utterly disgusting and there is mildew around the sink. Totally gross. Pls needs a serious overhaul. Who ever owns this please needs to go. read more

Stumbled upon this place while exploring this morning and I'm so glad we did! This was genuinely one of the best breakfasts I've ever had in my life (and I'm a huge fan of breakfast). I got the Belgian waffle with triple Northwest berries and boy was it delicious! The waffle was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the berries were so fresh and tasty. The staff was also incredibly welcoming and good at their jobs. Definitely will be coming back on my next trip! read more

Very nice place to have lunch or breakfast, the food delicious, When the food arrived I could not wait I had to taste first and only after that I took a picture,The 4 stars is only because we felt that the waitress no longer had the strength for the shift she did not smile and was kind, had a feeling not so pleasant from her unfortunately, probably the waitress did not have such a good day and that's fine it's understandable. It is possible to sometimes give the customer a slightly nicer attitude read more

I came for German pancakes and I conquered. I was having one of those mornings when you wake up and are craving a certain thing and you only know of one place that serves that one thing. Yeah, Elmer's is probably the only place I know on this side of town that serves German pancakes. I have been here before for breakfast and I actually prefer them over other chain breakfast spots. The downside is they are always busy on the weekends. But people like it enough to wait the half hour or so. They have a huge breakfast selection. If German pancakes are not your thing, try their loaded hash browns. Either way, it does it's job. read more

No take out during a pandemic? When they used to do it before? Shameful and disgusting way to care for their customers.

It's our last day in Oregon, visiting from Las Vegas . Came here for breakfast. Server was awesome, food was delicious, perfect portions . Must try German pancake with fresh strawberries enough to share with someone. read more

Elmer's restaurants no longer does takeout for some reason? For all the Karen's complaining about their orders, thank you very much!

I was charged $4.49 for A 6 INCH PANCAKE. I know everything is getting more expensive, but that WAS A RIP OFF. I've worked in the restaurant industry for over 30 years, and I would of been embarrassed to serve that. The waitress never checked up on us, didn't ask if we needed any refills. She did have time to bring us the bill. read more

Good food, especially breakfast. Some different dishes and seasonal offerings hit the menu so it's not just the usual food. Service generally varies from pretty good to excellent. read more

First time in a long time eating at Elmer's. My wife was jonesing for one of their german pancakes after having one last week at a different Elmer's. Given it's Father's Day, they were predictably slammed, and we had to wait about twenty minutes to get seated. The environment was very loud. No biggy. Once seated, they were quick to provide menus and drinks. Our server was Sara and she was very efficient and informative. My wife did have a german pancake which looked great. It was big but she finished it which is atypical for her. I had a "skillet" which is essentially scrambled eggs on top of hash-browns, meat, and sautéed veggies. It was good. I had options for bread and chose a pancake and two eggs over easy. The eggs were perfect, the pancake small. Our coffee cups were never allowed to go empty, and our requests for ketchup, additional sweetener and napkins were pleasantly and quickly fulfilled. Again, given that it was Father's Day and all that entails, this was a good experience, and we would go back. I recommend you give Elmer's a whirl. read more

I absolutely loved this place as soon as I walked in! It was warm and welcoming our server immediately walked us over to the tables and asked us what drinks we would like/. When we ordered our drinks I attempted to order my food as well but I guess that you have to wait for the next table to order their food or something i don't know it was weird I didn't like that because I was ready to order but it wasn't a big problem it only took 2 minutes for him to return to take our order so it didn't bother me but at the same time he could've just took my order and placed it after the other tables order but any way/. I ordered a French vanilla cappuccino and it was the BEST coffee I've ever had in my whole lifelike truly the best and then when I finished it he immediately returned with a refill/. The food was delicious I truly loved this place and would definitely recommend it because I am very likely to return this is definitely a place to go to when in Oregon.American Breakfast read more

Came here with a group today to get brunch. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The staff all had on holiday shirts and the restaurant was cutely decorated for Christmas. We were seated immediately, and the table was next to windows and a fireplace. The only strange thing about this visit was that our table for 6 had folding chairs for half of our party, however they were very comfortable. As this was the only table with these chairs, I just assume something happened to the original chairs. The waitress was kind and honest and funny. She was knowledgable and made sure every part of our experience was good. She stayed on top of beverage refills and brought our split checks promptly. All the food we had was good! The only complaint was one of us surely got coffee from an old pot. It tasted terrible and different than everyone else's. Overall, I would go here again. It's a nice spot for casual brunch. read more

Could not have been better! Went on a Thursday morning and we were seated immediately. Friendly staff. Wonderfully delicious German pancake combo (super huge eggy thin pancake with crispy edges served with eggs and a meat). It was enough to split and have leftovers!! If you haven't tried the German pancake you owe it to yourself to do so!!! Oh the hash browns were perfect- crispy top soft inside... buttery and oh so tasty! Look forward to coming back!!! read more

This place has good food, good portions and good service. Their food is basic and delicious! Nothing special or creative! They do have a chicken breakfast sausage that is exceptional as is their Dutch baby! Coffee is my least favorite thing there- and you really need a good coffee to elevate breakfast! That is where the star is falling off (coffee) read more

This place has got great breakfast food all day (and is considerably better than the Shari's down the street) in a thumbs-up-and-a-smile sort of way. Admittedly, I have not tried their lunch/dinner menu foods because I only go there when I'm in the mood for breakfast food, but I haven't had a bad experience yet. There's really nothing special about the place apart from that it has free wi-fi. read more

Breakfast anyone? This is one of the regions popular breakfast restaurants. Yes there is lunch and dinner on the menu, but breakfast is where it is at. Today Bells and I went to breakfast before going Christmas shopping. She ordered the strawberry pancakes, (is there any other type of pancakes for a 7 year old girl?), and I had the steak and eggs. Of course the strawberries were gone in a flash, and the pancakes, well, they are secondary food items. The steak was surprisingly tender, juicy and flavorful. I like my steak without all the bottled sauces, no A1, no Tabasco, no nothing. A good steak should stand be itself, right. This one was lightly seasoned and nicely cook to order. Granted, not the best steak I had, but nice for a cold Sunday morning. This place get busy and you may have to wait to be seated. The service is good, prompt, and frequent. This is a nice change in a very busy establishment. Elmer's is a place where many of our Veterans go for a meal. As we were sitting there, just two booth down was a Vietnam Veteran with his hat displaying the First Cavalry badge. After our meal we walked up to his table and shook his hand and thanked him for our freedom. On the way out for the restaurant there was a man and his wife standing waiting for a table. They were dressed for church and he had two military ribbon lapel pins on his coat. I shook his hand and thanked him for our freedom also. read more

I have been here twice this week and both times it was absolutely Horrible! Not really haha. The German pancake with triple berry.... Out of the park!!! I could not stop making those happy mmmm mmm awesome food sounds while eating. The second time(this morning) I had the Dungeness crab Benedict. The first bite was awesome but that was it for the crab. I looked in the other one and it also had a pittance of crab. My friend who had enjoyed these before said he had much more on his. I brought it up to the manager who was awesome because she rectified the situation very quickly. They were delicious without the crab but a home run with the crab on it!!! Mmmmmm! read more

This is what Denny's, iHop, Waffle House, and Applebees should be.. Local chain , happy staff. Serve a variety of comfort food from the northwest.. one of the breakfast specialties is German pancakes, which, if you've never had, you should try it.. it's more like a sweet fried flour totilla. Elmer's does have the plastic picture menus.. I try to go there as an alternative to starbucks.. oh lots of parking and free wifi too. read more

Always good for a quick breakfast. Consistent menu quality makes it a decent stop. Depending on the location the service seems to fluctuate a bit. I have never been for any meal other than breakfast so I can't comment on that. The menu prices are reasonable. This particular trip, my meal was tasty and my waitress was pleasant. read more

Me and Fabian gotta have some blueberry pancakes. Fact or pulp fiction? Fact baby. And for some decent 'cakes out in the burbs where chain restaurants rule (I didn't write that rule) Elmers turns out some pretty tasty breakfast fare at a reasonable price and they do it with a smile. Wait staff is professionally nice and speedy. Though they are frequently busy on the weekends, they don't rush you or make you feel like you are taking up a table if you want to take your sweet ass time and chow down a German pancake at your own speed. I do like that I don't have to be old to care about portion size as they allow anybody any age to order a smaller version of many popular items at a reduced price instead of saving that 'privilege' for people over 65. Money Saver Tip: Have some good old fashioned water on the house instead of coffee/tea/? me then you can shave off $3 bucks or so. read more

Had a nice breakfast here today. We were seated quickly at 8:40am. Plenty of table and booths throughout with space for tables to be put together for large groups. Our waitress was pleasant and quickly brought us coffee. The menu has plenty of all American breakfast foods to choose from, omelets, pancakes, waffles, chicken fried steak, the usual suspects; so plenty of options. I kept it simple with eggs, fruit and a biscuit. I do wish there had been more eggs, the serving looked so little on my plate but I'm sure they used two eggs. I just love eggs so I'd probably order three next time, waistline permitting. Haha My friend enjoyed her savory crepes and the guys had chicken fried steak with hash browns and a ham steak. I assume they liked it because their meal was gone almost before I'd started on my eggs after eating my fruit! We would come back here for breakfast or lunch if we're in the area. read more
