Backwoods French Toast
Marah H.

This little cafe is worth the stop if you find yourself in the Yakima region. We we greeted the moment we talked in and found it to be quite busy for brunch time. Fortunately, they had a table and the wait very brief. I was rather impressed as service was friendly and attentive during our entire visit. I ordered the backwoods French toast and my buddy had the corned beef hash. We both really enjoyed our time here and I would definitely return again the next time I'm driving through.

We will always come here for a breakfast while in town and they're open. We're always warmly greeted, promptly I might add. The food is great, along with good prices. And the table service is spot on. Food comes out quick and hot, and the beverages rarely get to empty.

Skillet breakfast.  Have a very large menu choices.

I don't review a business unless It is outstanding good or bad. HANDS DOWN- Best tasting breakfast ever and I am 78 years old. They are only open for part of the day and they are tucked away off of 1st street. What a jewel!

Chilaquiles
Jenna M.

This is a local hidden gem, almost always PACKED... excellent chilaquiles and huevo rancheros. And guess what?!? Now serving ALCOHOL!!! Mango mimosa and Bloody Mary and..... more Very friendly staff and of course they speak Spanish & English. If you can find it come here for breakfast.

Very busy but the service was great and food was amazing. The pictures on the wall were cool to look at and made you feel like you were in the woods.

Service - so good! The thing that impressed me the most was watching the waitress greet her regulars.... Hugs... more hugs.... Asking how their week was... this is def a place regulars regulate. Ok- onto the food. It took me a while to order because IT ALL SOUNDED AMAZING! Pancakes tasted like vanilla cake. I prefer the classic taste of pancakes but I think people who love vanilla will love these pancakes. Hamburger was great and the fries in the picture (crinkled) were not what I got. I got steak fries but they were really yummy! I got the fry sauce and it was just a classic experience. I had to remove a few onion slices because there were massive amounts of raw onion. They asked if I wanted pickles and I did! They were awesome too! I would order the burger again.... But Next time I come I will do one of their amazing breakfast items.

We needed a place for breakfast for our group of 7 that was in town for wine tasting. Based on the reviews, we wanted to give it a try and glad we did. Small space but well used. Service was wonderful. Our order was taken and although they were busy it didn't take long to get our food. Food was great and pricing reasonable. Parking lot is shared as it's a strip mall. I would recommend giving it a shot as we will be back next time around.

Had an awesome breakfast here! We had a larger group of us and had awesome service! The reviews were what drew me to try Backwoods Cafe, and the other reviews were right- great food and great service! Definitely will be back!

Love a good burger joint! Ordered the miners double burger with cheese (at extra cost)- all the…read morehand size comparison photos really don't even do this thing justice! It's HUGE! I had them cut it in half and my husband and I split it with a side of fries! We barely even touched the fries and were stuffed! It was a great burger! Lots of fresh veggies, if it were a single patty I don't know that it would have been as good because theyre thin patties, similar to McDonald's. We ate in the car which was a mistake lol. They're pretty messy, a lot of dripping and onions falling out etc- as a good burger should be!!! The regular fries were just like McDonald's though could have used a bit more salt... My diet soda tasted watered down, like the machine needed a refill which is a real bummer, especially when you're spending $5 on a soda. Staff wasnt terribly friendly- kind of felt rushed like I was unconvincing them or something. Thought $36 for a burger, fries, small soda and small shake was a bit much but again, we did split it and were stuffed so guess can't really complain too much.

The restaurant has a spacious sit-down dining area, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. As for the food, the sides were the clear winner. The tater tots were awesome--perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and tender on the inside. The burger is undeniably massive, but unfortunately, the patty itself was on the drier side. Given that it's their signature item, the burger definitely could use some work to match the portion size. Overall, it's a great hangout spot with awesome sides and friendly service, but the main event needs a bit of fine-tuning.
