This is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The service was quick and friendly. We tried the triple berry crepes and the country biscuit breakfast, and they were delightful! View all feedback.

Have to say it was first time eating at an Elmer's this one was located in Eugene, Oregon, plain and simple the service was great and my breakfast was delicious. I tried the potato pancakes on a recommendation and glad I did. Good portion and my coffee cup never got cold because it kept getting refilled. I'll be back when my wife and I are up that way.
The prices are slightly higher than some places, but the quality and portion sizes of the food definitely justify it. Our server, I believe her name was Patty, was outstanding! All the staff were friendly and accommodating, but her patience, demeanor, and efficiency were truly exceptional. I ordered the Reuben and must say it was probably the best I've ever had. My friends tried the strawberry crepes and the German pancakes, which I sampled as well, and they were just as delicious as my Reuben. The meat on my sandwich was at least an inch and a half thick! I ended up saving half for dinner. This place is definitely worth the extra few dollars compared to Denny's or Shari's.
We waited 20 minutes to be seated and no one greeted us, 15 minutes for a server to ask us for drinks and take our order then when we got our food it was cold, none of the cooks were wearing their masks properly they were pulled below their chins, just overall not good waitressing. There were people who were eating before us who arrived 30 minutes after us. This was not the best experience I have had at this location… super disappointing i usually love coming here for breakfast but will not recommend and will not be returning!!

After hitting I-5 at 3:30 AM for a non-stop drive from Olympia, WA to Modesto, CA, we decided to stop at Elmer's for breakfast since it was conveniently located nearby.

Food was excellent, service was great. Elmer's has been a family favorite my whole life and now we are passing on the tradition with our kids! The marionberry crepes are a MUST TRY!!
Customer service was really good the food was great I did not have any problems with my service dog being there and they were very helpful with my child the only problem I have was that our first waiter didn't bring us the kids menu but then our actual waiter brought his kids menu when she came over anyways my family's German and we make German pancakes from home recipe that goes back years and years and years and I was really surprised when they're German pancake was pretty close to our recipe all together great experience
I was very tired about this place with good food or service. But to my astonishment this place was amazing! Not only were there enough tables for many customers to have their meal, but the service was top notch! The place was clean and the food was fantastic! I had to show my appreciation by leaving this review, because I am sure if someone else visits this place with low expectations, then just wait for it. I bet you leave much happier than when you first walked into their doors! I'll go back.
I usually get either a burger or the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. This particular day I chose the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, buttermilk pancakes swirled with cinnamon and sugar then topped with cream cheese icing, powdered sugar and whipped cream. It's hard to eat regular pancakes after you have these and I must say best ones I have had, perfect amount of glaze and cinnamon. Next time you go there give the Cinnamon Pancakes a try, you will not be disappointed.
Elmers is an absolutely amazing restaurant, thanks to their diverse menu and the high quality of their food. If they were ever to go out of business, I would be devastated! I've never had a bad meal here, and I really hope more people start dining here. Every breakfast item is fantastic, and their fish and chips are so fresh that you’d think you were by the coast. I’m thoroughly impressed!
