LocalBook 101

Overview

Founded in 1960 by Walt and Dorothy Elmer under its original name, Elmer's Colonial Pancake House, our values have always been to provide quality food ingredients, gracious service and the clean surroundings that make you feel at home. Walt, Dorothy and their three sons worked hard to bring home-style cooking to those of us lucky enough to live in the Northwest! Elmer's began with breakfast... and 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 original recipe today! 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!
