"We dropped our car off for a windshield replacement and decided to grab some breakfast at Elmer’s nearby. We were seated immediately in a nice, quiet booth and our drink orders were taken and filled quickly by our server, Stefanie, who then took our orders. My husband was intrigued by the German pancake described by the menu as being “as big as Crater Lake!” and was convinced he HAD to try it! It came with fruit as an option on the pancake, eggs cooked his way and choice of ham, apple/chicken/pork sausage, or bacon. The German Pancake was a work of art! One simply wanted to gaze at it to appreciate it’s artistic shape, the rustic ruffled edges sprinkled with powdered sugar, and the crepe-like folds of the interior resembling the gathers of a classy ball gown twirling around the plate in a sexy food dance all it’s own! The butter, syrup, and lemon wedges are musical ecoutrements that get your feet moving to the beat of this wonderful dish. Who wouldn’t love the symphony this dish serves? I ordered the buttermilk pancakes, bacon and poached eggs, and a fresh fruit salad. The pancakes were big and fluffy, so I shared 2 with hubby, and also shared half of my bacon which was cooked perfectly to my request (chewy not crispy . The eggs were large, tasty, fresh, and perfectly poached! I like the whites firm but not watery and the yolks very runny, and these were on point! The fruit salad was fresh (nothing out of a can! and plentiful. It was the best breakfast we’ve had in months if not years! Our cooks, Anthony and Freddy, did an OUTSTANDING job preparing our meals, and our server, Stephanie, made sure we had the best dining experience possible! We can’t wait to return and try the prime rib dinner and steak! This place rocks!!!!"
