Elmer’s began with breakfast… rumor has it that Walt Elmer kept the original pancake batter recipe locked in his safe.Even as the menu changed over the years, we still use Walt’s recipe today! Do you remember some of these fun “blast from the past” menu items? Sanka Coffee,Hawaiian Pineapple Pancakes, Chocolate Coconut Waffle, Stuffed Tomato with Deviled Egg, and Liver and Onions! Today, we continue to honor our values. As a group of locally-owned restaurants, we at Elmer’s take pride in our communities, source local, farm-fresh ingredients, and are proud to have the most wonderful, loyal Guests. We invite you to continue making us your home for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You are part of the Elmer’s family!
