This is a classic American brunch restaurant. I love their French toast drenched in strawberry compote. They will substitute meat products with vegetarian or vegan options.
It’s a very welcoming and warm family friendly atmosphere. The service was great. Really kind people working hard and being courteous. The food was served quickly.

Today we received amazing service from Monique!
She was super quick and helped us make the best choices. Such a kind and warm attitude — truly outstanding customer service! People like her are the reason businesses succeed. She’s an absolute gem! 💛

The restaurant was clean, and the light fixtures were dust free and shiny.
The service, wow, if you're lucky enough to be seated in Eric's section, you are in for the best service you have ever had.
Quickly, I had a warmed mug in my freezing hands and hot water for my tea. What a pleasant treat!
We certainly didn't have a wait for our food, which was a delicious meal.
I was extremely surprised by the experience.
It's worth the stop for sure 💯

I had the Cinnamon Roll Panckes and the Hashbrowns w the Works. Those pancakes are addictive! The cinnamon swirl is perfectly caramelized and the icing was put on w a deft touch that didn't overwhelm with sweetness. And those hashbrowns... they were the perfect combination of crispy edges and tender potato. I've got 2 full-size pancakes to take back, but got ALL my bang for the buck and then some w this meal.
Revisit: I'm back in Portland and had to come back to what is (by far), my favorite spot. This time, I brought family. Once again, Elmer's hit all the right notes. I love the friendliness of the staff. And their food was top-tier. I repeated my last meal, my brother got the steak and eggs, and my nephew got cheeseburger sliders. The steak was ordered med rare and came to the table med rare. The sliders came with bottomless fries. As a side note: we were impressed by the children's menu. It was actually a mini magazine with pics of all the dishes, so even a non reader could order. And it was chock full of games to keep them occupied. I just had to come on here and once again, say great job! 07/25/25
