Elmer's A rare trip to the mall for me brought me to J.C. Penney's for my uncle's birthday gift. After getting his gift, I hunted down my friend Leslie, who is the seamstress at Penney's, and she said to wait for her, and we could go to lunch. Where to go? was the question both of us had as we decided where to go. After Leslie and I went to the nearby assisted living facility to get some sewing projects from some of the residents, Leslie suggested Elmer's on Fairview Avenue. "Why not.", I said because I am not really familiar with some of the eateries around the mall. Leslie and I arrived at Elmer's after the lunch rush, and we were seated almost immediately. Our waitress was at our table right after with water and menus, but gave us enough time to decide what we wanted to eat. Elmer's has a vast breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu, and it looks like breakfast was served every day, but I was in the mood for a sandwich and fries and ordered the Chicken Chipotle Sandwich with Mesquite Fries and Southwestern Cole Slaw. Leslie was stuck between the BLT and the Super Club Sandwich with Fries. Our waitress suggested Leslie have the Super Club. Leslie and I also ordered Very Vanilla Cafes, which were iced cappuccinos with whipped cream on top. Our first cafes were kind of tart tasting, and both Leslie and I thought our taste buds were playing games with each other. We wound up diluting the tartness with the half and half at our tables. About 15 minutes after ordering, our food arrived, and our waitress replenished our cafes, and they were much better than the first ones. Leslie's Super Club came cut in quarters with waffle-cut fries while my Chicken Chipotle Sandwich came with fries cut in sticks with mild mesquite seasoning. My sandwich came on a roll with lettuce, tomato, grilled chicken, Monterrey jack cheese, and chipotle mayonnaise. It was very good except more mayo was needed, but I added some of the ranch dressing Leslie and I requested for our fries. The cole slaw had a strong lime flavor that made it different from any other cole slaw I have had. Leslie couldn't finish all of her meal and wound up with a doggie bag, but I finished all of my food. There was no room for dessert for both of us, and we settled the bill. Both meals cost under $25-plus tip, and we declared the meal a success. Elmer's is located near the Boise Towne Square Mall in Boise and is right now going under renovations in its vast interior. Usually, Elmer's is decorated with antiques, but today, Leslie and I dined in a room with empty shelves and luckily not that messed up from the construction crew's work. It will be nice to see Elmer's once the renovations are finished in a few months. The service is good, and it the food's home-style. |
