Sabrina MajeedMay 8, 2017The German pancake is HUGE but delicious. The original lemon and butter version is 🔥, as the lemon juice adds just the right amount of sweet and freshness.
Upvoted 4 weeks ago- Martial BénardJuly 28, 2018Classic decent fare. Good service. Coffee ok. The avocado eggs benedict with a side fruit platter is one of the few healthy options, and it’s fresh and correctly cooked.
Joy KesslerJanuary 29, 2015Elmers is a chain, but their food is more carefully sourced than most. They have wild-caught salmon and grass-fed prime rib, both excellent, and prices are very reasonable.
Carlos PachecoJune 13, 2015This is the first place I've visited that serves authentic German pancakes and they are amazing. Highly recommended!
Scott Mc KiernanMay 25, 2019Grrreat German pancakes! Potato ones too with cinnamon apples, what more do u need know? Oh the Cinnamon twirl pancakes looked out of this world. So my advice is bring your posse and share
SiobhánJanuary 25, 2019German pancakes are surprisingly delicious and different from what I’d thought. They’re an American mashup of a pancake and a popover.
Dina FierroMarch 4, 2014If you've never had a German pancake, you're in for a treat. Skip the syrup and go instead for a hearty squeeze of lemon - yum!
Jasmine 💫March 3, 2019Friendly chain diner offering strong coffee and solid brunch options. Enjoyed the Classic German Pancake 🥞🍋 and Crabacado Omelet 🦀🍳 which fueled a full day of sightseeing in town.
Richard MetzJanuary 25, 2015i discovered elmer's on my first trip to palm springs. i have eaten every meal there ! breakfast is great, lunch salads are creative and fabulous, and prime rib is great. elmer's has everything !
Jase LaudadioFebruary 11, 2015The German Pancake with lingonberry is so good! My mom used to always make swedish pancakes and this was just like it. (Lingonberry is similar to cranberry?) get it!!!- Trina UnzickerMay 30, 2012Loved the breakfast - great omelets and pancakes. I especially enjoyed the blueberry pancakes because they used real berries, not the sticky-sweet compote. Good kids menu, friendly folks all around.
Mark BarbaMay 18, 2014Great breakfast! Loved the Chicken apple susage . The German pancake was out of this world! So good, and it is huge and filling!
Delyn SimonsNovember 25, 2011Great photos from 60s on the walls. Elaine is best breakfast waitress ever. Great runaround lawn out front and kids menu for kids (and kids at heart.)
Very good food and service. The German pancakes are awesome. Everything we've had has been delicious.
Glenn DabAugust 16, 2014Crab avocado omelet. Service is slow but they cool the food right. Love the pancakes. Homemade...style that is.
JenMMarch 11, 2014Good easy quick breakfast spot. Food not anything special - it's diner food - but good value, fast, easy, good Palm Springs vibe.- SiobhánJanuary 25, 2019No wait and big portions of food. Did feel like a chain knockoff of a diner which took from the atmosphere.
Joakim WimmerstedtApril 14, 2015Go for the buttermilk pancakes but make sure to order a small serving. They like their portions bigger then small children here.
Derek MarshallApril 15, 2017Seriously amazing Eggs Benedict and I adore the gravy on the hash browns 😍
Bob EwingJanuary 24, 2014Yes, the German pancake is a must. The other breakfast food is also excellent.
Kadrian AlvarengaSeptember 3, 2012You cannot go wrong with the German pancake. It's something special.
Queen 👑 JNovember 18, 2012The Buttermilk Pancakes with Eggs Scrambled and Thick Bacon us the plate to get. 4 Pancakes 3 Bacon 2 Eggs Scrambled.
Kevin GrantNovember 21, 2019Imagine if Denny’s food actually tasted as good as the menu made it look, that’s this place 👌👌👌
Phill SunburyOctober 21, 2018Loud, very fast even if busy. The food isn’t that great but not bad. It’s very chain like. Their are better options for breakfast in Palm Springs.
Samuel WrightSeptember 2, 2012Try the German Pancake, and DO squeeze lemon juice on it. Tastes Fan-Flipping-Tastic!
Oh no! They took the shrimp-and-crab omelette off the menu!
Steve DardarianOctober 21, 2012Morning oatmeal hits the spot. Love Elmer's, an old American standard.
Michael ArmijoNovember 17, 2010Try the 2-Northwest Blueberry pancakes with a side of crisp bacon. ;)
