Elmer's Restaurant (Tacoma, WA)

Delicious food, great service, and amazing prices!! ONLY issue is the consistent long wait times... Unfortunately, this venue does not take reservations, which can make things rather difficult when attempting a simple meal here, when parties of 5,6,7,8+ can just "pop by." Leaving a simple party of 2 to wait an hour or more. Wish they made parties of 5 or more reserve tables ahead of time. That would make things flow A LOT smoother for the patrons, as well as staff I'm sure. Hopefully that is something to be considered in the near future for this business.

I ordered the prime rib, medium rare with extra vegetables no potato, salad & iced tea. It was excellent! The prime rib had really good flavor, cooked perfectly. The "farm fresh" vegetables zucchini, yellow squash w/red bell pepper strips complimented the prime rib. The iced tea tasted freshly made. The hostess and waitress were very welcoming, polite and attentive. Overall, dinner tonight was a great experience.

I’ve only had breakfast at Elmer’s multiple times so far and have really enjoyed it. They have the best bacon and other breakfast meats. The hash browns and potato cakes are tasty and the pancakes are really good! Their coffee is even decent and not bitter. The German pancake was like a glorified crepe but worth trying. We always ask for fresh egg scramble and they do a great job cooking them. The portions are large so I have taken half home every time! The staff is super friendly and attentive. Give it a try, it’ll surprise you! It sure surprised us!

It's not terrible or anything. It's a nice and large establishment. The breakfast food was pretty bland. There was a 25 minute wait. On a lighter note, I really enjoyed the beer battered fish and chips. They were quite delicious.
