Went for Sunday morning brunch. I had crab omelette with hash browns and biscuit included. The omelette was delicious! The hash browns were under cooked having a crunchy potato feel and taste. The biscuit and butter was great for this southern gal. Hubby had steak and eggs. Everything was cooked perfect except the hash browns. Hubby seasoned and added ketchup to eat. He recommends his perfectly cooked steak. Service was above average. We were seated immediately as a party of 2. Others were waiting. I want to return to enjoy the other food options they have.

The quintessential diner style breakfast/brunch on the south end of town. Elmer’s is a continuously busy stop, so be prepared to spend a little time outside on their beautifully manicured lawn underneath the palms (not a bad place to wait!) Then treat yourself to a jumbo size menu that provides all the fixings you need for a proper home style meal. The staff are the absolute friendliest people. They are always making me smile and filling up my coffee mug! Love Elmer’s and you should too.

They have this German pancake they are famous for (at least in Palm Springs). It fills the plate so your eggs and bacon come on a separate plate. Breakfast is served all day and I recommend you give it a try at least once. Service is good but not great. Once we got our orders we didn't see our server for a while and had to go ask for syrup and the check. If not for the food I might have rated it only 3 stars.

Questions & Answers

Not explicitly listed on the menu. You can request modifications... Eggs Benedict on a custom (no flour) potato pancake or tomato slice. The kitchen is very accommodating!

It is Kid's menu only-free

Almost certainly, unless they display on google that they are not, you should be good.

Yes, several.

Yes

No, but you will be given a buzzer for when a table opens up. Trust me...it's a meal worth waiting for. I just wish they had one near Santa Monica.

I have no idea! I doubt it but I could be wrong.

It is not. Here is the Elmer's story: https://eatatelmers.com/about-us/northwest-favorite/

The Palm Springs location has an outdoor patio and I believe I have seen a dog while on the patio.
