Reviews for Elmer's Restaurant (Salem, OR) in Salem, OR

Had the dungeoness crab salad. Only 2 stars cause the salad they served me had wilted lettuce and was brown. It Did NOT look... appetizing. I told the server and all they said was sorry... not sure what else I was expecting, I ate the bacon and avacodo butleft everything else. I personally would not go here again. My hubby said his dish was good. But I just am baffled at why theyserved brown wilted lettuce ???????????. The atmosphere was nice. They had a fireplace that was cute and cozy for this cold icyday.

Really don't know what happened. Went back to Elmer's my wife always gets theturkey dinner service was good up until a certain point after that it went down hill the turkey dinner came with dried up lunchmeat every thing was cold the waitress said what can I do for you kind of stump me Finley we said we don't want it after clamchowder and a dinner salad she took it back to the cook so we ordered breakfast it got taken back the the order was wrong againafter over a hour waiting the food arrived terrible waitress said the cook added extra. I said what was the extra she said arecooks don't do that she knew what I was talking about but we ended up taking the food home for our dogs that how bad it was thatnight it seems like Elmer's is taking advantage of senior citizen with the very high prices. They should be ashamed ofthemselves Read more

Absolutely excellent location for breakfast. Service was quick and friendly, food came out quickly especially with how busy it... was but was high quality. German pancake was worth the wait alone, hadn't had it before but would order it again in a heartbeat.Cinnamon roll pancakes were phenomenal. Buttermilk biscuits were fluffy and delicious as was the butter they came with.Everything was cooked to perfection. Read more

I like the fact that it is air conditioned, and a comfortable and inviting place within which to dine. The menu is American,... and all of it appears to be very good. The iced tea was freshly prepared, and the food that was served to us was delicious! Itis definitely a restaurant that we will patronize again. Read more

Laura was our wonderful server and she was the best so please let her know because I drove from Portland to Salem to meet some... lovely people. And, I waited for almost an hour. But she was very understanding. Read more

First time for me to eat here. Clean facility, friendly server. Bit slow for a road trip. I had the steak and eggs, great taste,... a quality biscuit. Kathy had the grilled veggies and liked them. Katie had a cheeseburger,, fairly big one. I would go again,but tis is a bit like Shari's or Denny's not a first choice, but a happy second. Read more

Very very good food and the customer service was even butter. It did not take long to be seated. My brother and our sons had a... very nice holiday experience. We went in hungry as we left with full bellies and a Christmas cheer. Thank you again Elmer's forproviding an excellent experience. Read more
