Dungeness crab Benedict
Nancy T.

Friendly service and decent food. I had the Dungeness crab Benedict. It was pretty good, although the Dungeness crab wasn't fresh. Husband had omelette with hash browns and biscuit. Coffee was about what you'd expect for a chain restaurant. Family friendly place.

I really like this Elmer's. I have always gotten really good food here. The California omelette I had was great. I always get excellent service here too. It is a chain restaurant, so it looks like all the others but it is clean and well maintained. My only complaint was the air conditioning was really cranked up and we were cold.

Belgian Waffle with strawberries, bacon and eggs

I ate here a lot with my family as a child, and decades later the place still looks exactly the same. I had a very nostalgic experience here with the belgian waffle, bacon and eggs I ordered, which were all delicious. The only thing that was strange was that when it was time for the check, my waitress just disappeared? Not sure what happened there since I was one of the few tables in the restaurant.

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

If not for Lola's, this would be the best brunch spot in LO. That being said, the cozy atmosphere…read moreand nostalgic feel make this place undeniably inviting. The staff is amazing! Consistently upbeat and friendly. I am frequently welcomed with a smile and a warm greeting. It's hard to beat excellent customer service... it's a lost art these days. The menu has range. There are traditional options and a few unique ones! The pastries are beyond spectacular. Their coffee cake is one of my favorite indulgences. The place is packed between 9 and 12 on weekends. Plan to get there early or plan to bring friends you want to chat with while you wait for your table during the busy period... there's a reason why this place is in high demand! It's local! It's a friendly environment! It's cozy! Most importantly, it's delicious.

Stopped in for brunch on a whim today. We had been here a long time ago and forgotten just how good…read moreit is! We split the Vanilla Bread Pudding French Toast (baked and served with mascarpone cream, banana, and fresh caramel). It was a massive portion and a combination of two of my favorite things--it doesn't get much better than that. It was very tasty, though a little dry for my taste, so I did need a side of syrup. We also ordered sides of the Biscuit & Chorizo Gravy and the Red Breakfast Potatoes. The biscuit and gravy was the absolute show-stealer; that gravy was so flavorful! The potatoes were smaller than I expected but still delicious. I added some Secret Aardvark sauce to both, but that's just how I roll. Service was excellent; Hailey was both efficient and very pleasant!

This is a place I always love visiting whenever I'm in town. They have so many pastries and…read moredesserts to choose from, and it's honestly dangerous walking in without a plan That said, a few items were hit-or-miss. The plain croissant was unfortunately a miss for me--but the bacon & egg papillon was OMG delicious... so much so that I ended up buying three. No regrets!!! The Versaille, Tiramisu, and Marionberry cheesecake were all delish and absolutely worth trying. We also tried the beignet rocher, marionberry cheese croissant, everything-but-the-bagel croissant, peach papillon, and the kouign amann apple--so many fun options, and overall a great stop if you love pastries and want variety. Service was a little hit-or-miss. The first time I visited, the server seemed a bit grumpy - especially while I was placing a larger order, but on my return visit, a different server was noticeably friendlier... maybe because my order was a little smaller

On a Sunday afternoon, the wait for a table was around 15 min. We sat outside. Thank goodness for…read morethe heated patio. I was disappointed by the lack of vegan options! It seems like the restaurant has gotten rid of their vegan entrees therefore I thought the toast was mid. On the bright side, they do have good jam.

To be honest, when our plans to go bowling and have lunch at Big Al's today fell through because…read morethey didn't open till 3, but we still wanted to eat (and hadn't had breakfast yet at 1:30), I tried every option I could think of to not go to Bannings. When we moved to Oregon, it was under construction but we kept hearing how good it was - in fact, all the local FB pages would gush about it when a newcomer would ask about the best restaurant. And once it finally opened, we tried it, but it was kind of like Marie calendars and Shari's, but local. Ok, but not what we had expected for all the hype. So, after trying a handful of options it seemed Bannings was the only place we could still get breakfast so I begrudgingly agreed. Well, I was mistaken! I got the breakfast enchiladas and a strawberry orange mimosa. Now, the mimosa - I'll get that out of the way first. It was weird - it looked curdled. It just had mashed strawberry at the bottom and it actually was quite good. I'd do a normal mimosa in the future, but good. But the enchiladas - delicious. Like, I'll come back again and again for those. And they didn't charge me extra for the avocado, which I think is righteous because I asked for no hash browns. But not all places would do that, they'd nickel and dime even if you passed on one side for another. Additionally; my husband likes a savory breakfast and a sweet one too - so he often gets two breakfasts and though he may not eat all of both he gets that savory and sweet. Well, the omelettes come with 3 pancakes. Perfection. And, I took 3 bites of them - I usually might try 1 or not at all - they are very very good. Last - it did not break the bank. I've about ruled out breakfast out because of how crazy expensive the places that should be reasonable are. This was reasonable - PLEASE DONT CHANGE!! All in all 5 stars, will be back for breakfast; and hey - when I'm wrong I can admit I was wrong! Give them a try if you haven't!

DON'T Waste your time or money. Appearance over Quality…read more Mediocre food, Bland, Service is trash. watered down Soda, Watered down mimosa. Overhyped
