Attentive service and quite friendly. Wife’s waffle OK but not exceptional. Sausage was very flavorful. My eggs were well executed as was the bacon. Turns out that I am not a fan of the German style pancakes. Seemed a bit eggy for my taste. Kind of like a thick crepe. Not bad but I like traditional pancakes better. OK prices.

Every meal my family has eaten at Elmers has been good, and fresh! The customer service is friendly and quick. Good prices, good service and good food.

Walked in at opening, and had our food quickly. Our server was great, and helped with some local knowledge. She was quite attentive, and even my grandbaby liked her. The portions were quite large, and we found ourselves wishing we had ordered smaller.

It was our first time eating at an Elmer's in 50 years of travelling along I-5 at least once a year! It was the photo of the German pancake on a billboard that caught our eye because we always want to try different food when we travel. My husband had the CRABACADO OMLETTE & I had the Greman Pancake - both were delicious! This particular location is family run - the daughter and the waitress who served us were so pleasant which added to our enjoyment!

Elmer's demographic is proportioned to the elderly crowd. The portions are reflective to that however so are the prices which is a catch 22. The food is good and the waitstaff is VERY attentive. Don't go there if you have a very hardy appetite and a skimpy wallet/purse- it will lead to disappointment.

Great diner and food was delicious. You guys have to try the German pancake. I'm so glad we stopped by for breakfast.

No pictures. However, it was pretty packed and took about 15 minutes to get seated, and the service was excellent. The waitress was great and did not have to ask for anything she was doing a great job. Thank you

Service was good and friendly. Had the senior omelette, ham and cheese. Food was well prepared but very small portions. Been awhile since I ate there and I remember the portions were bigger for the senior menu.

This was my first time at this Elmer's location. We had stopped in for some lunch with my family. We sat in the bar. The waitress/bar tender was friendly and very attentive. Lunch was delicious. Overall a great experience.
