Elmer's restaurant was a good lunch stop for us on our Oregon road trip. It looks like your average diner, nothing special there.
But I was pleasantly surprised by the lighter side options. My mom ordered the lighter side hazelnut crusted cod with clam chowder while I had the lighter side caesar salad with shrimp.
She really liked her clam chowder, though she said it wasn't the best she had ever had or anything. Her fish and vegetables were cooked perfectly. She ate everything. My caesar salad was also great, and I received some scrumptious complimentary cheese popovers beforehand. They reminded me of the delicious but devilish cheese rolls they serve at Red Lobster.
We also decided to treat ourselves to some dessert. Unfortunately they didn't have much to choose from, like 3 options if I'm remembering correctly. We ended up splitting the chocolate sundae. It was okay, but we wished we had wasted the calories on something a little more decadent. There weren't even nuts on it!
Our server, Cheryl, was awesome. She must have had to refill my water like 5 times, haha. She was very friendly and attentive. Kudos to that kind of service!
