Elmer's Restaurant Opens in Tualatin.
A Portland family-dining favorite has moved into the former Shari's building on SW Martinazzi Ave. Here is what to expect when you visit the new Elmer's in Tualatin.
Elmer's Restaurant is now open at 19365 SW Martinazzi Ave in Tualatin, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the same corner building that generations of neighbors knew as Shari's.

Former Shari's corner
Shari's closed its Oregon locations in October 2024, leaving this Martinazzi Avenue corner without its longtime diner. Elmer's, which also took over other former Shari's spaces across Oregon, refurbished the Tualatin building and reopened it as its newest location.
On the menu
Breakfast any time, dinner any day.
Elmer's is best known as a breakfast house. Pancakes, omelets, skillets, and eggs and up fill the morning menu, and family platters are easy to share around a big table. The day menu leans on burgers, sandwiches, salads, and classic entrees, with enough variety that a grandmother and picky kid can both leave happy. Desserts and drinks round out the meal, and the dining room is large and family-friendly, with plenty of parking in the lot.
Because it serves all day, the kitchen is a reliable fallback for those in-between hours, and the corner is an easy stop on the way in or out of town. For a neighborhood with so many quick-serve and specialty options, a full-service sit-down diner like this fills a welcome gap just minutes from home.
