Great breakfast food. The over easy eggs were almost the size of my plate. I’ve never seen such large eggs. I’ve been there several times and recommended anything on the menu. I’m also a fan of the passion fruit mimosa.

First time here and we loved it. Food looks exactly like it shown on the menu. Delicious and beautiful❤️. We didn’t wait in the line to be seated, like it happens in other breakfast places. I’ll definitely be back.

I was downtown at the hospital today for labs. I had a small break in between my appointments so I seized the opportunity to go grab some breakfast. I have been to quite a few joints downtown already. I wasn’t dressed the best so heading to Bacon or Tupelo Honey for breakfast would have been a little embarrassing. And I didn’t want to deal with parking so after doing a little research, Elmer’s was my spot to grab some food.
Driving up to the restaurant, there were quite a few cars in the parking lot. What have I been missing out on? This place was poppin! I know Elmer’s has been around for a hot minute and as long as I have lived here, I have never been. Seeing that the parking lot was pretty full, I took it as a good sign about my choice of coming here.
I was sat at a small table by the fireplace. It’s a pretty cozy venue. Bright from all the windows. The fireplace was going so it was nice and toasty. It was a very chill setting. Mariah got some coffee started for me while I was breezing over the menu. They have a little of everything for breakfast and some lunch options.
I ordered the Hungry Rancher for breakfast. I should have known that my eyes were bigger than my stomach cause it was a lot of food! You get 3 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of ham, 2 sausage links, hashbrowns and fruit. I also got a side of country gravy and pancake syrup. Gotta have pancake syrup for the sausage links!
My eggs were fried hard and were perfect. The sausage links had a nice browning on them which I love. It was paired nicely with the pancake syrup. I ate a couple bites of my hashbrowns with the gravy. The top of the hashbrowns were crispy and golden but the middle part of the hashbrowns were still undercooked. You get a great portion of the hashbrowns which is fantastic but when it’s that thick of a portion, the middle of it ends up not cooking all the way through. I ended up taking my ham and bacon home with me. I didn’t have enough room to finish my huge plate!
The one thing I noticed about this joint were all the older folks here. It was nice seeing them out, socializing, playing card games after their meal and enjoying life. This must be the go to spot for senior citizens. I did feel out of place amongst these fabulous folks but honestly it was fun. They are so chill. No drama. No loud conversations. Everyone was just having a relaxing and fun time. I can hang with these folks any day!
It was a fun experience today at Elmer’s. The food was hefty and good. The crowd is chill and fun to be around. The venue is comfortable and relaxing. I’m happy I got to grab a meal here in between my appointments. I got to enjoy my meal and wasn’t rushed. Mariah did a great job taking care of me. I don’t know when I’ll be in the area again but I’ll be hitting up Elmer’s if I am, especially for breakfast.

Breakfast was disappointing. The biscuits were overcooked, the hashbrowns bland with no seasoning, and the eggs Benedict were overdone. The country fried steak and gravy was just not a dish I would highlight—if that’s the best you’ve got, it needs serious improvement. Overall, the food lacked flavor, which is concerning since these are signature breakfast dishes that should always be consistent and on point. Service was also weak—servers were clearly stretched too thin, and I only received one coffee refill during the entire meal.

Best brunch in Boise from someone whose tried them all. The food is great, the service is excellent, and it’s a very warm atmosphere. Went last Sunday at peak brunch time and had no wait. My friend is Vegan and the server helped her find something that she LOVED. The crab benidict is great! I also love their flavored mimosas (lavender is top). Every server I’ve had in recent memory has been fast and friendly. It’s difficult to go wrong with this place.

Need to wait on weekend, the service is good. Food is also good. Recommend German classic combo!

This place has really stepped their game up. Elmer’s has been at this location in Boise for as long as I can remember. Quality of food and service has gone up and down over the years. November 24 of 2025 my wife and I stopped here for breakfast. It was a nostalgic pick for me.
When we walked in my first thought was how clean and well maintained it was. We were seated promptly by a friendly young woman.
Quickly a waitress was at our table taking our drink order. Coffee for me and Decaf for my wife. The coffee arrived and the cup of Decaf was lukewarm. It happens sometimes. My wife asked the waitress for a warmer cup. The waitress apologized and hurried off to brew a new pot.
The waitress took our orders. I went with chicken fried steak and eggs over easy. My wife had stuffed hash browns.
After taking our orders the waitress returned with fresh, hot Decaf. She apologized again. We told it was okay, it happens.
The food arrived soon after. It was delicious! The chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and tender inside. The gravy tasted homemade. I also received one of the tastiest butter milk biscuits I have had in a long time.
My wife was half way through a mountain of hash browns, eggs, cheese and veggies when she said, “This is the best breakfast I have had on this trip!”
We spent 4 days in Boise. We ate breakfast at Goldy’s, Eddie’s, and IHOP. This was by far the best meal.
We got to talk with the manager when we paid our bill. The price was exceptionally reasonable. We told the manager how impressed we were with the staff, the food, and our whole experience.
I can’t recommend Elmer’s enough. It truly was a wonderful experience.

Absolutely loved breakfast here!! Our server Jen was awesome – so sweet, quick and friendly. They gave us a free German pancake, which was a first for us & it was delicious! Everything else was cooked perfectly too, the atmosphere was great, there was no wait at all, and they have the best staff. 10/10 experience, plus they gave us an actual welcome letter with the manager’s business card and an extra coupon. Never had an experience with restaurant staff like this one before, and the food is great, so not sure why every seat wasn’t full.

Breakfast was not good at all. Had “Applewood Smoked Bacon”, sure. Very bland potatoes, bacon and over cooked biscuit. My wife had chicken fried steak bowl, same for her, barely cooked potatoes…and the worst part, both dishes were so very greasy. I understand Bacon is greasy, but not pooling on your plate. We should have spoke up, our fault, but we didn’t. Just expected better quality and quantity. All this for $16-17+, not worth it. My two star rating is because of our server, Tina is a good server.

Just like Georgia down below, we had Jordie, she was an amazing server and never let us down, she would always have all of our food and sauces delivered immediately. The food shown below was incredible and the pancakes especially, they were fluffy and similar to clouds. Jordie was a very energetic person and needs a raise. The coffee was also great, but it was buttery as my brother’s proclaimed. The bathrooms are very small though. Anyway 5 stars for an amazing meal and a great experience!
