★★★★☆ 4.0 Jermain Allen · Nov 2025

I'm a big fan of classic diners, and honestly, there aren't that many around anymore. Although, Elmer's has managed to stand the test of time. This is another one of those reviews that I waited to write because it's been 20 years since the last time I ate here The location is convenient, especially if you're a student at ISU, notably having all the classic diner staples, like extra large booths and bar top. If you're visiting during winter, there's a coat check for convenience, and the cold weather makes the coffee taste even better. The staff has always been very friendly, and I take it as a good sign when they bring their family in to eat where they work, which happens here a fair amount. The menu doesn't really have anything particularly special about it, but I would make sure to get

★★★★★ 5.0 Judd Sampson · Dec 2025

Great local doner. Super classic old school. Cook knows his business in the kitchen. Stuffed northwest hashbrowns are a treat! Love the vibe and the food! It is now a mandatory stop every time I go to Pocatello.

★★★★★ 5.0 Twixy Alvarado · Mar 2026

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kate Knight · Aug 2025

The food tasted good but came out cold. The waitress was extremely friendly but disappeared after bringing the food. And the time between the order and the delivery of food was substantial compared to other diners. The coffee was okay, the decor is comfortable but dated. Solidly mediocre.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kristy Tetelpa · Jan 2025

Really nice place to grab some breakfast. It was bustling with people but we were still seated quickly. We had a huge party of 13. The menu was huge and there were so many options. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Service was quick and the servers were really nice and accommodating. I ordered the Strawberry Crepes and they were SO, SO good. My kids all loved their food. There was plenty of parking. I enjoyed my experience here. If I was ever in Idaho again I would definitely visit Elmer's Restaurant!
