Elmwood Inn is a gem, not a chain, welcoming environment - no matter what I order, I always get the onion rings and an unsweetened iced tea, cannot find better anywhere else.

My husband & I enjoyed a huge, delicious fish fry at Elmwood Inn today. Our waitress, Jennifer, was very friendly and we were waited on & served promptly. We will definitely be back soon!!!Parking: Parking lot is right before the restaurant, if you go past it the street on the other side is a one way so you can't turn.

My hubby Dave and I are making it a weekly date night out on Tuesdays at the Elmwood Inn. I was able to order the Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich that is not always on the menu but it is delicious! That and a tasty craft beer is a great combo. Hubby usually has the beer battered fish fry but recently ordered the Rueben sandwich which he also loved. Julie and Lisa are the best!

First timer…Pretty good fish nice size needed some flavor to it tho, the tea was horrible no matter how many packets of sugar was put in it, fries were great and I can’t complain about the coleslaw either, service was great, food came out fast and the waitress was very nice and helpful. Will probably come back again try a different dish- but not the tea lol

One of our favorite places to go. Very cozy atmosphere with good, comforting food. The staff is very friendly and down-to-earth. However, the place is almost always understaffed and the servers have a hard time keeping up. Note to management: you can't serve a dozen tables and a full bar with one server and one bartender. Shout out to their salads. I'm not typically a salad eater at all but their steak salad and tomato salads are both always fresh and well balanced. A great pub-style restaurant. Oh btw: please consider changing the lightbulbs in the dining room to a warmer hue. It's super unwelcoming compared to the bar side.

There were 8 of us for lunch on a Friday. It was busy but our Server was friendly and attentive. Our orders were taken and our food delivered in a reasonable amount of time. The orders ranged from Burgers,a Reuben, Chicken and Fish sandwiches, a Fajita and a Taco Salad. They all looked inviting and everyone said theirs was delicious. All in all an enjoyable pre holiday outing.

We went here for a company dinner with Hyundai and almost everyone was disappointed with their meals. The appetizers were good but after that the entrees went downhill. We came on a Friday night with a pretty big party for a restaurant that didn’t have many other customers besides the ones sitting at the bar. One waitress attended us and she did a pretty good job keeping up on all the drink orders, refills, and food orders. She did an amazing job, I cannot blame her for how the food came out. I ordered the World Series burger “medium well” and it came out the same color as a hockey puck all char in every bite. The guy next to me ordered the same “medium rare” and his was cooked to hockey puck as well. Others who ordered the fish and chips complained of lack of seasoning on the fish batter. But the buffalo wings were good, pretzel sticks, and quesadillas were all very good. Maybe the food is better when the kitchen isn’t cooking for a big party. ??‍♂️Parking: Parking located right next to the restaurant entrance.

Food is overall very good, significantly better than most other food in the area and priced mostly reasonably. Beer selection could be a bit better but is pretty standard for the area. Service is where this place shines, staff is extremely friendly and attentive (at least at the bar). Has a pretty large group of regulars and it's pretty obvious why, this place has nailed it's pub culture. Overall if you like local bars/restaurants I would definitely give it a shot.

It's a great little place, not much to it. The food is good and that's really what matters! I never really seen it that packed in there which is good because then you get attention. I tried a few different items and everything I had was good. Nothing over the top or two fancy couple of unique items on the menu I say give it a shot! You won't be disappointed.
