Absolute great with suggestions for things to do places to go in sites to see Texas was fabulous.

The seating hostess was kind and they had people moving in and out of there quickly so that you weren't waiting forever. I love that they even had a posted policy that you couldn't linger for 20 minutes after your meal was through so the others could get into the restaurant. They only serve breakfast and brunch, which I love because they specialize. The restaurant is older, but you could tell that they tried to keep it looking nice and the decor adds to the ambiance. We ordered the Cap N' Crunch French Toast and it was fun and delicious. The baguette added the perfect texture and balance. We also ordered the breakfast nachos and the sauces are drinkable! So good! The toppings were fresh and plentiful. We shared two dishes among three people and it was more than enough.

Great little hometown Diner. When we first arrived to the outside--well, the name Rusty Lantern…read moreseemed appropriate--half expected to hear a gate creaking and slamming in the wind, and see a hitching rail for your horse. That made us a little nervous, but also so excited . Once inside that nervousness is quickly replaced by friendly people. You can immediately feel that it's a real local favorite. Everybody's eyes are on you when you enter, but that is definitely not to make you uncomfortable. They are smiling and welcoming. You're offered boisterous warm greetings, with that welcome home feel. With stools at the counter, some very big tables and chairs sitting off to the left for big parties to sit at, and booths for the typical size party, the seating was perfectly spaced and comfortable. It truly allowed for tables of regulars to intermingle. It was definitely rustic, folksy and the people were all friendly regulars like they were co-owners. The artwork on the wall was just so--cow hand and ranch family murals. I truly expected John Wayne any moment to come drawling in and tell me, "I think you need to sit down, partner." We chose a booth, sat down, and were greeted quickly by the most humble and sweet young lady who was our--No, THE server approaching us very quickly to take our drink order, and explain the small menu to us. Yes the menu was very basic. A rainbow of colorful chalk writing garnished in an invented style, a board displayed behind the counter, which consists of an evolving menu of fresh made dessert type foods that weren't on the menu --the menu lived. The small basic menu was one page--That was it. Having mostly the basics to choose from, I chose a nice sausage patty, and three scrambled eggs with cheese and onions. We were half expecting half effort food--boy were we wrong. I also couldn't help myself I had to order one of these fresh made goods displayed on that board. Knowing that it was a side to my already ordered dish, I asked my server. "How big is a slice of banana cream pie, is it a good side." Lol..." Yeah it's not that big" well I should have known by the Texas feel of the local little diner. When the cream pie came out I could have eaten it for both breakfast and lunch and been plenty full lol. It occupied my every thought, with fresh bananas and cream, a smothering of whipped cream over the top, and a perfect semi-sweet crumbly crust, I devoured it quickly! The fresh cracked eggs, not overly greasy from frying up on an overworked grill, and the flavorful sausage combined with what seemed to be hand grated potato hash browns, mixed with onions cheese and spices. This was a classic downhome cooked meal. It was easy to tell why the place was filling up with customers quickly. It didn't get too crowded, but the patrons definitely tripled by the time we were finished with our meal. The server was friendly and handled all of the orders expertly, and lol, her little boy brought the dishes out to the table for you. It started to feel more like eating at a B&B. And the food is amazing--you have to go here. That board that I was telling you about, more fresh made foods were being written on the board while we were eating --the menu lived. This was an amazing experience, with rustic artwork all over the walls, friendly people willing to scoot over so that we can take pictures. We will definitely be back here. When you're in Idaho Falls, or even if you live here, take a 3 minute trip up 20 to visit this wonderful diner. I promise you won't regret it. I was having a little bit of a hard time time coming up with this review because I definitely wanted to make this a John Wayne movie lol. Thank you for reading, I hope it wasn't too scattered and I was able to do this establishment justice.

My spouse said it was usually nice and quiet as this was my first visit. I don't see BLT on the menu much anymore, so that's what I'll probably get next time.

Told us that it would be a really long time for food and that they were out of a lot of items. She indicated they were short staffed and only two people in the kitchen cooking. We at that point felt like we were not welcome so we got up and left... (A party of 6 came in right after us). We ended up not eating dinner, at all.

Lately, when visiting Pocatello, we've been able to visit a few places that are clustered together…read morein what could only be described as the traditional Grandpa's-Diner-Club. This most recent visit was to Elmer's Restaurant. They have a nice-sized corner parking lot, with lots of big blue signs to alert you that the spots are reserved for Elmer's guests. Up against the building, an alcove sets out where a sporty red car sits in front of a paper 'No Parking' sign--surely Elmer. The building is one of those old, deep-foundation squat ones where only a very short wall holds the windows higher than the sidewalk. We made our way to the entrance, and I pulled open one of those classic, heavy glass diner doors. While the other two in my group, being ready for menus, quickly stepped in, I stayed holding the door for a party of five right on our heels. That was pretty much the story in there: not a single two-top in the place. It was fairly busy, with all big-tops having three to six people. Each of the three servers was handling their fair share of them--keeps a server moving. There was a fourth server, an older woman, tediously wrapping up silverware during the coming rush--this restaurant's still hanging in there OG. As far as the atmosphere: The noise decibel was low, as relaxed energy peacefully flowed from the families dining in there, but the three servers on the floor keeping up with the large tables were humming around as if motor-powered. We were sat fairly quickly by a highly energetic young lady (the youngest in there) who had that nervous smile of 'don't show the stress' plastered on her face. She was very nice and gave a nod to our server, who quickly approached us for our drink orders. I didn't need a menu for that, "coffee please" were my very first words spoken at Elmer's, with my other half quickly echoing. The third in our party, as is her norm, order the most dazzling fruity concoction on the menu, lol--she loved her Blended Strawberry Lemonade. With drinks out of the way, we turned our focus to the menu. The menu is pretty big with three pages of breakfast alone, and lots of tempting descriptions and pics teasing a hungry reader. It is hard to explain, but it strikes a perfect balance that can only be described as 'unique-traditional'--Elmer's signature. Two of us, including me got the delicious Potato Cakes Breakfast, with eggs and sausage. Topped with sour cream, the cakes come with cheese and onions cooked in. I added some chunky salsa on top--ohhh my goodnessmagnificent. My other half ordered the very different Fresh Fruit German Pancake, and Chicken Apple Sausage links. She especially loved the sausage, but said both were very good. Elmer's food is all great! I doubt the owner's name is Elmer, but our server told me that he snapped the pics of the national and nature themed prints around the walls, so I do know he's a great photographer. The coffee is really good, the food is a spectacle, and the service is flawless! Elmer's can be summed up as 'a streamlined perfection of that hometown, unpretentious hospitality and hustle' One of my highest recommended breakfast diners. 8* of 5

We were in an hour and a half prior to closing and were seated in the table area of the restaurant…read more Our server was especially sweet and obervant. The food was okay-if a little bland on the hashbrown gravy. However, prior to getting our meal half of the dining room we were in was closed off and before we finished our meal (a good 45 minutes before closing) they were vacumning on the other side of the partition they'd pulled across. Not particularly welcoming, Elmer's and it's not the first time it has happened to us. This doesn't even include the table full of tomorrow's set ups that employees were working and gabbing at. Ultimately, either you're open or you're not. Vacumning around people trying to eat is rude. Be better.
