Elmer's Restaurant (Gresham, OR)

Have not been to Elmer's in years, so thought we would give it another try. Boy was that a mistake. I don't understand how they are still in business. No senior citizen menu and when we asked for one they pointed to the light menu area, which literally had 2 items on it. I would not call chicken fried steak and some ranch style breakfast much of a choice for senior citizens. That is ridiculous. Also did not see a side menu to order sides. They want you to buy combo meals and for the prices there charging is crazy high. We ended up leaving after they pointed to the ridiculous senior menu and went to red robin. Was able to get a tavern double burger bottomless fries and bottomless beverage for 9.99 now that is a price I don't see Elmer's ever being able to beat.

Great service, with super friendly and efficient staff. Very family friendly atmosphere, large tables available, and very big space overall, so our group of 6 had no more than a five minute wait on a weekend brunch. The food was good with a lot of options and customization available — vegetarian friendly! Everything was well-cooked, nothing exceptional, but good. Scrambled eggs were soft and well done. We really enjoyed the cinnamon swirl pancakes! The servings were huge, but you can request mains a-la-carte if you’re not looking for a big combo meal. The potato pancakes were ok, but were tough to eat as the potato was thinly sliced hash brown pieces, and fell apart as you lifted it on the fork. Plenty of parking available around the premises, and clean bathrooms adjoined to the space.

The wait staff was great and recommended an item that we've never had, was pleasantly surprised by both the dish and customer service, would highly recommend this local and Toni as she's great and deserves a raise!! Thanks Elmers

Eating breakfast with superhero masks!! There was no wait at 7am. Our waitress was prompt and got our drinks quickly.

Probably some of the best service we’ve had in a while. Food came out quick, waitress was extremely polite, and food was delicious! Must we ask for anything else??
