Came here for breakfast to try a new place, was very disappointed the service was not great very slow, waited 10 minutes at least to order. Food was a 5/10 I don't recommend this place. read more

Great food great service. Very friendly and quick. I had the Mexi scramble. Nothing fancy but down home and delicious!

This place has never let me down! Awesome customer service every single time and the food is amazing. Definitely recommend!

Pleasantly surprised! Very good take on breakfast. Mexican inspired breakfast. Had the chicken fajita skillet with enchilada sauce and a jalepeño. Very tasty! The service is friendly and the food tastes good. The name and exterior don't really tell the story. Give this place a try! read more

Backwoods Café wont disappoint you. It may not have you saying I'm dying to try that place again, but it wont disappoint you. We stopped in based off yelp and the fact we could get Mexican food for breakfast while traveling through town. Not a lot of biscuits and gravy establishments on a Saturday morning are pushing the chorizo and egg vibe, but Backwoods is, and I like that. The place is small, in a bad location off a lil run down strip mall and hidden in the back. Not a lot going for this place as far as location and ambiance. The customer service seemed to pick up where the location and ambiance left off however, the friendly staff was responsive and eager to assist as well as attentive to waiting customers and clearing empty tables. The food was ok, the chorizo scramble was decent and the unique crunchy French toast was ok. The unusual part is NOTHING came with either dish other than what was stated as the menu item. The French toast came with nothing but a couple slices of French toast, the scramble was just a scramble, nothing else. No toast, no hash browns, no bacon... nothing. I also wouldn't say the portion sizes were very realistic. Me myself did not need a big 'ol country style platter sized breakfast so I was fine, but I believe most patrons would have been pretty disappointed at the portion size. It was really small. read more

This is absolutely one of, if not the best, breakfast restaurants in Yakima. I come here at least once a week! Can't go wrong with any of the breakfast skillets read more

Interesting concept on French toast. I ordered special French toast and noticed cornflakes over the bread. So I tasted and it was not that bad. Not really terrible. And orange juice was wonderful, really fresh. Would come back to order something different. read more

Had an amazing breakfast with my family and loved everything! The service, the food, the atmosphere! Would recommend to anyone!

The exterior isn't much to look at (it's in a strip mall) but the food is tasty! Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and the staff was friendly and attentive. A good little spot to grab some breakfast/brunch. read more

Backwoods Cafe - Pancake w eggs and bacon on the left and eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon on the right. The biscuit in the middle was also incredible - Mexican Near Me - Yakima, Washington

I needed something hardy to get me going on this rainy morning so I stopped in. I got the biscuits and gravy with hashbrowns and eggs. It was all very tasty and the biscuits fluffy (nothing worse than heavy biscuits). Staff was also very friendly. read more

We were looking for a brunch place and found this one. Great breakfast menu - we all loved it. Service was very good. Food was awesome!

Once again, Yelp to the rescue! My mom lives in Yakima. My sister and I went to visit and wanted to take her out for a nice breakfast. None of us knew of any places, except Appleby's. Luckily, I had my smart phone. We all ordered the same thing; backwoods french toast (rolled in corn flakes) and the sausage patty. Both were delicious! The service was excellent. They were busy and the only table was in the back corner. They were attentive, without being too much so. Our coffee cups never went below half full. Friendly servers (I think the owner was our main server). Fun experience - will definitely visit again the next time I'm in town. read more

If you want a breakfast made from real food and to meet some friendly folks, this is the place! If you just want fast junk food, keep looking. read more

Went to eat on a monday morning with my sister and my 2 rowdy boys. We were given a choice to sit so i chose to sit near the bathroom like always. We were seated right away. Waitress was very nice and acknowledged my boys. Our food came out promptly. Waitress made sure coffee cups were full and water glasses were full also. Food was superb. My son spilled his water and waitress came right away to clean it up. I really appreciated that. French toast was my fave! Will be back there soon this time I will get a babysitter so I can slowly savor the french toast! read more

Going to second all the great reviews here. Good, hearty comfort food, cute place, and the absolute nicest people who make the effort to make you feel like family. Nice breakfast stop on our way through town. read more

First time here and to be honest the customer service was not the best. I wasn't even acknowledged when I was there sitting on the table for awhile. read more

One of my favorite places to eat for breakfast. Great customer service. The only issue is one person takes the order so if they're lots of customers it can be a bit before they get to you. The server always ensure your taken care of, which is why I keep coming back. When it's not so busy she will chit chat with you if you want. Food is great especially their Mexican breakfast selection and coffee is always freshly brewed in the morning. read more

The staff at Backwoods are very accommodating and charming. The food was so good!! I highly recommend the skillets as well. Would give it 6 stars if I could read more

Chef didn't know how to cook an egg properly; could be accounted for due to the volume of people, but my eggs over medium, felt nearly well done. Servers were good, they forgot my garlic bread though. Chicken tenders and fries felt as if it was cooked out of a frozen package. HOWEVER, the loggers omelette was pretty good. read more

Super cool atmosphere and good food the logger scramble was amazing and the salsa was cool could of been blended more.

This is a family run Mexican oriented local breakfast place. The patrons seemed to be long standing customers. I had the chorizo eggs with tortillas. All very tasty. The tortillas that came with the dish were wrapped together in some aluminum foil and because stuck together but they quickly got me some replacements so problem fixed. read more

Okay, restaurants sometimes get really, really, super busy. That happens, it's how they deal with it that counts. There were two of us, in town for a conference. We were told there would be a wait, which was cool, and then we were told that, due to a large party in the back room, there would be an additional 15 minute wait once we were seated. The warning was super classy, and allowed us to make an informed decision. We stayed. Once we were seated, the wait was a littlle shorter than promised. I had a small substitution on my order. The wait staffer asked a couple of clarifying questions, to make sure she got it right. When our food arrived, it was exactly right, prompt, and hot. After that, our coffee and water glasses were never neglected, and we were regularly checked on by at least four different staffers. Overall, this was a real class act. Next time I'm in town, this will be my on my agenda. Nice job! read more

Backwoods cafe is a delightful place for lunch with a friendly and efficient waitress/owner/manager. I had a grilled turkey sandwich and a side salad. The food was simple, tasty, and affordable. I was well taken care of without being smothered. Give it a try the next time you are looking for a good lunch spot. read more

Wait staff is very friendly. The food is amazing and tasty. The sausage is not spicy and is good. We sat upstairs the atmosphere is like at home. You won't be disappointed if you eat here. They are very quick to fill up your drinks and keep you happy read more

Horrible service. We were given our choice of 2 small tabes to sit in right in front of the wait station. Given that we were so close to the staff, you would have thought we would have been seen. However we were completely ignored until we walked out. The waitress took the order of 3 tables that came in after us, and when we finally got up to leave after waiting for over 10 minutes, she finally noticed us. We left and went to Mel's Diner. We were seated in a nice booth, the waitress was very attentive and the food was delicious. Don't go to Backwoods Cafe, just go straight to Mel's. read more

What can I say... I use Yelp often and the positive reviews for Backwoods Country Fare Cafe were spot on! Dora and Juan have such a great place! The service is right on par with the high Yelp comments that I expected and the Backwoods Crunchy French Toasts rocks! :) Thanks for the great service, atmosphere and food! read more

Backwoods Cafe - Back Country Crunchy French Toast w/Sausage! Great! - Mexican Near Me - Yakima, Washington

We ordered breakfast to go. Our order was perfect and they even sent us with every sauce, jam, spice, etc. we could have asked for. Not *just* a strawberry jam but one strawberry, one blackberry, one marmalade -- a selection so we could choose once we were seated with our meals in front of us. It was very thoughtful and considerate. The staff was very friendly and our order was brought out to us promptly. The food was delicious and exactly what I was expecting. I will definitely come back. read more

The staff were attentive and responsive and that was the best part of the meal. French toast was not anything other than ordinary. Frankly, surprised at the great reviews. There was nothing wrong with the meal, but nothing special. read more

Found this Cafe when I was visiting Yakima. Good food, nice people. I'll be back any time I'm in Yakima. read more

The service is friendly and laid back. All the food I have had here is great. I recommend the Eggs Benedict. It can be a little hard to find but worth it. read more

In town for a conference and decided to hunt for a proper eggs/potatoes/toast breakfast restaurant and this was perfect! Food and service were great. Attentive, friendly and delicious! Coffee cup was never empty and bacon was perfectly crispy. It looks a little industrial from the front, but don't let that fool you. Might go back tomorrow! read more

Biscuits and gravy were amazing. Busy place but no line. Even on a Sunday morning!! I recommend checking this place out!

When we make a trip to Yakima Backwoods is our breakfast place. Great eggs Benedict, outstanding service and ample servings. A bit difficult to find but worth the hunt! read more

Worst service ever, and we will NEVER go back. My husband and I came here since my in-laws like it and Waffles Cafe was packed. Huge mistake. (Go to Waffles, its worth the wait). We got to Backwoods at 10am, and within 5 minutes there were 4-5 other couples or groups of 3 standing in the tiny entrance. One of the girls said we could sit at the table just inside the door but our order wouldn't be taken for about 10-15 minutes. So we sat down, and 20 minutes later our order was finally taken by the ONE waitress allowed to take orders. The other 3 girls there are there to refill waters, and bus tables apparently. That wasn't quite the irritating part since we were warned it would be a while. The most irritating part was that there were a couple tables in the back that sat 8 people and another for 6 people. They refused to seat people at those tables since the groups were only of 2-3. So everyone had to stand at the entrance and just watch everyone eat until a table opened. The entire hour we were there, no larger groups came in, and they could have easily sat others at those larger tables. And we counted at least 8 pairs of people that left once they saw the wait and so many people crowded into the front door. The food was not good in either of our opinions. I had a bacon and cheddar omelet that was watery and made it soggy. It had only a pinch of cheddar in it, and the bacon wasn't crispy. My husband had the logger omelet with gravy on top. It was supposed to have sausage and bacon and ham, but had mostly ham with a minimal amount of very fine sausage. And he said the gravy was very bland with very little sausage to the sausage gravy. The toast was cold. I definitely could have made better food at home, and wish I had after eating here. read more

Love the food and the breakfast menu is excellent. The biggest problem I had Every time I went in ( about 12 years). Was that the business owner a Hispanic women seemed to cater to my Hispanic husband. I'm glad she did Cuz my husband is very picky. I'm white and blonde hair and for me EVERY TIME I went in she would ignore that my iced tea wasent filled after 3 visits to check on my husband with coffee refills and what ever he wanted ? I've ignored knowing my husband was fine ?! But I felt the owner if she had a bad day she took it out on the white girl. Never mentioning this prob to husband except for the last visit, he apologized to me and said we won't go back. If your white married to Hispanic and have blonde hair I would say don't go. To bad read more

Good fast breakfast. The portions were probably the right size which meant no left overs. Take that as a good or bad thing. I was offered extra toast when I cleaned my plate and it made me feel like they didn't want me to leave hungry. I didn't leave hungry. read more

Hidden gem indeed! I'm sure the locals are in-the-know but we were fortunate enough to find it through YELP. Made to order and fresh ingredients made this a delicious breakfast break for us on our road trip. Hubby had eggs benny and I the Farmers omelet. Both had buttery hollandaise toppers and plenty of it. We will be sure to stop here on our way back. read more

This is a simple place with good food and a friendly staff. Prices are good as well. If it was for the quality of the food alone, maybe this would be a 3-star review. But the whole package fits together well: the friendliness, authenticity, simplicity. We keep going back there when we visit Yakima coming from Seattle. Nice to have the relaxed atmosphere in contrast with the urban places we're used to. read more

Amazing food. Interesting approach to taking orders, but we were happy to be seated, get coffee and waters and then wait the 20 minutes necessary for them to take our order. We were warned before we were sat that we would be waiting. The breakfast menu is extensive so the extra wait time was fine. We all ordered a different skillet and there was nothing left when we finished. Once the food is ordered is comes out fairly quickly and very hot which is always a bonus. Lots of coffee and water refills. The homemade salsa is amazing and we were hard pressed not to eat it with a spoon! read more

We didn't eat here, but we traveled from Seattle to Yakima and planned on eating here. No where on their website or Yelp said they were out on vacation until May 2nd. Very frustrating that they couldn't post this info on their homepage. read more
