Elmer's Dog House

We used to visit Elmer's Dog House on Farnsworth every Friday night.  Were excited when we heard the original recipe had been obtained for this location.  We brought friends a bit ago - - fish fry very similar to what we used to have. Last night, visited, and it is a totally different coating on the fish . .. and not in a good way.  Waited awhile to be waited on, even though dining room 1/3 full . . . server didn't bring cole slaw . . . although offered to pack it up for us to take home.  Disappointed recipe has changed . . "if it ain't broke" . . .

On a Saturday, crab leg night.  We called before leaving asked if they had crab legs they said yes coke on in.  Arrived 15 mins later with a party of 5 was seated in 5 mins...great.  no menus though so we sat for 12 mins before we hear waitresses arguing who was taking our table.  Got menus and ordered. I got the crab legs everyone else got normal food. Got my soup 5 mins later ok told they can't sell me crab legs , I say well I just called and came in for them.  4 mins later in told sorry they are out, I asked for the owner explained what happened and he said he couldn't do anything, I said when I called why didn't the lady say they where running low, we wouldn't have come the pivotal reason for filming was crab legs for me.  So he didn't help or offer anything since it was their screw up.  The rest of the meal went ok everyone's food was ok service was slow to get refills and beers.

Seems like a local dive not recommended.

On a side note they have a salad bar open in the bar but it isn't self serve?  One guy got in trouble from the owner for getting dressing , he retorted my waitress isn't showing up to serve

This our stop after we cut down fresh Christmas trees at the Marmion Abbey. The bar food is good is good in price and quality. The Chicken Pot Pie is homemade and must be ordered. Chili is great and free popcorn is cool. We aren't real big bar people big on a Sat or Sun afternoon the crowd is small and friendly.
