Looked up a place to eat while killing some time. Eating was 4.0 so I went there for breakfast. I'm glad I did as it was excellent. Greeted with friendly staff and they were very attentive. The food was quick to come out and it was very good. Plenty but not too much. I recommend the country skillet. Will go there for sure again and again. Setting was peaceful and quiet. read more

Delicious... if you haven't tried the Backwoods Cafe yet ... please do... We have gone numerous times for breakfast and it's always delicious I like to have poached eggs and have tried them in many places around town ... they are consistently the best I've had ... ANYWHERE!! Hubby has over medium with hash browns and first thing I have to say .., his plate is never greasy They have a very large menu ... something for everyone... So check it out read more

The food was amazing, everyone was extremely kind, and the atmosphere really made us feel cozy and at home. We will definitely be back in the future. PS The peanut butter french toast SLAPS. It would be an absolute disservice to yourself to skip out on it (unless you have allergies related to the dish, of course). Treat yourself right. Get the peanut butter french toast. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast here. Fantastic corned beef hash, excellent service, and I loved the thick slices of sourdough toast.

Since I went in the middle of the week, it wasn't over crowded at all. Service was fast and friendly and the lady who was our server was very friendly. The food was pretty good too. I like to come back again. read more

Delicious breakfast!!!! We have not been to Yakima in ages and lucked out finding this place. It had a very nice family feel. I had the village and it was life changing. From now on I am going to put asparagus and some cream cheese on my eggs. It was out of this world delicious. Not greasy at all it's just very flavorful. Our group had the taco omelette, CHILAQUILES and Backwoods French toast. All were very tasty. Yummy Mole sauce. Please give them a shot, you will be glad you did. . read more

The service was amazing! The food tasted amazing definitely a weekly,if not bi-weekly, stop.

Always a pleasure to drop in on our way through Yakima after our annual camping trip. The food is delicious (compliments to the kitchen staff) and the service staff is beyond outstanding. They remembered us from a year ago! (And now I have a Backwoods Cafe tee shirt) Thank you Backwoods Cafe! read more

The pancakes are excellent, the bacon is perfectly crispy. They now serve booze! The service could not have been better. The food is good and quick read more

I loved it here! I was with my high school friends and we enjoys every little item places on the wall or was for decor! I knew something was right when I walked in and was greeted! The ladies there took care of us, even when someone went on a break she re checked on us at the end to ensure we were ok! Now that is service! The food was great, I got the one with gravy, potatoes, and veggies oh my! It was delightful! My other two friends got a scramble and an omelette, they all enjoyed it! We enjoyed our cup of joe and just sucked in all the delicious smells and caught up on life! I enjoyed myself, I had to make sure I was able to spread the word about a good place! From the atmosphere, the food, and coffee I will be back to have some food here again soon! Can't wait. read more

I was skeptical of the cornflake French toast and am now addicted. This is a bit off the beaten path, but the food is great and the service is amazing. If you have the opportunity you should try it. It is my new go-to place for breakfast/brunch. read more

Food was below average, service was absolute shit. I am so disappointed. Never will go back again. Don't eat here, you're better off at Wendy's or mcdonalds. Update: I'll admit my previous review was harsh^^ however this definitely was not good service. The food was roughly average and my dad and I ate it because we waited a long time and were hungry. About 15 mins for a table and 15 before we could order. The service was not good. The last waitress we had was very kind but the first one deliberately ignored us when we were trying to order. The food was nothing special and my dad didn't like his food either. I probably should have ordered something different. Also they just put a slab of Swiss 'lunch cheese' and two poached eggs on top of mushrooms, apples, and sausage in a frying pan. Again, I don't exactly know what I was expecting, however, this wasn't that great of a meal. Next time we will just go to an actual breakfast restaurant. My family and I also used to live in Mexico so the huevos rancheros weren't exactly up to our standards. Sorry for the cruddy review, apparently old people seem to enjoy your food. read more

Seeking excellent food, a pleasant respite? Give Backwoods Cafe a go. I ate from the Mexican menu for breakfast. A full belly and a pleased palate were the result. This is a warm and hospitable place. Suggest that you go with the chef's choice, but tell them what you like and they'll thoughtfully make a recommendation. Eat local folks - get in here! Passing thru? - it's just a few minutes off the route. Will be worth the trip read more

We've wandered on down to backwoods Café a couple of times when we're feeling like a hearty breakfast with just a little bit of Mexican influence! It's located in an old strip mall that I remember from growing up, but can't ever remember actually going into. Over top of the mall is a very iconic sign from childhood. It's fun when breakfast is also nostalgic! Upon entering, you will note that the place is very lodgey feeling. Lots of wood and decor that reminds you of a cross between he old west and a place you'd stay out in the woods - it's a good vibe! I don't remember if it was just a few of the tables are all of them, but ours was definitely a picnic bench. It added to the whimsy of the place. The folks working here are uniformly friendly and went out of their way to make sure our drinks were full, the kids had crayons and that we had all the extra sauce we needed. More on that to come! The kiddos split some standard eggs, toast and hashbrowns as well as some French toast. There is no shortage of bread that morning, but all that was quite nice! My better half had the Ranchero omelette it was delicious! Great flavor, and it came with a roasted jalapeño. Those were available with a number of the dishes And were excellent. I had the macchatta and it was boss! Our server recommended that we get it with a side of enchilada sauce and boy howdy was it good! The coffee was plentiful, The service excellent and the food very solid. We really appreciated the Mexican influence in the traditional dishes. It gives the stuff just enough of a different vibe to be interesting, but everything was familiar enough that it shouldn't scare you away. This is definitely a spot you should check out for breakfast on a weekend, weekday, or anytime you're looking for something just a little bit different from what you're used to for the most important meal of the day! read more

Good food and friendly service! Locally owned so lots of pride in their homestyle food. Support local businesses!!!

Nice local spot with very good food. Seemed short staffed and the food took a bit to get to the table, but everyone really enjoyed the food. Definitely recommended. read more

We are going to do what I call a compliment sandwich. First, let me say that the food is good. That being said, this place is terrible to be at when there are more than two tables to be served. They seem to be understaffed and woefully behind in technology that would speed up the process of ordering and paying. In addition to this it seems that there is only one employee that is able to take orders and money from customers. I'm not sure if that is a control/trust issue between management and employees, nevertheless it adds unnecessary time to an already long process of a meal. Finally, the staff is friendly. read more

This place was fabulous. Great variety, great food and service. Owner Dora was so friendly. Highly recommended read more

We stopped in for lunch while vehicle was being serviced across the street ... we opted for a breakfast meal ( they serve breakfast all day) ... hubby ordered a Bone in ham and egg breakfast ... it was Deeeelicios and I opted for the Backwoods French toast ( coated in crunchy corn flakes) .. also Deeeelicious.... Absolutely we'd come back here as there are so many things on the menu I'd like to try ... and seeing what was on other peoples plates ... I bet those meals were equally delicious...and the ladies there were so nice ( they're sisters) So on all points is was A+ Great service Great people Great food ( fresh and hot) And we give it an extra A+ ... clean ( that matters too ) I should have taken pictures.... Next time read more

If you don't have Yelp and you're not a local, you won't find this amazing little hole in wall. Such good home style food with large portions! I got the eggs Benedict with a twist, they added sausage gravy to it as well with fried potatoes, it's called the snow slide. I would highly recommended it. The only downfall is the wait. If it's busy, you'll get seated but not have your order taken for about 10-15 minutes. But in my opinion it was well worth the wait! If you're in town looking for a good breakfast spot this is the one! read more

Loved this place... I'm in from California visiting this weekend. Wow! Good customer service. The potato's are unique, one of a kind taste with some Latin touch style cooking. Their coffee was hot and very tasty! Next time we stop by I am coming back for this awesome place. Jorge from Santa Clarita CA. read more

Backwoods Cafe - This is my mom and I.. we forgot to get pictures of the amazing food we had. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yakima, Washington

This is the best place in Yakima for consistently delicious breakfast choices. Undoubtedly the best biscuits and gravy in the whole area, as well as a very large number of skillets, omelets, 2 kinds of French toast (try the Backwoods version!) and other items. They also serve lunch and will accommodate your hunger needs. Try their pulled pork sandwich, spicy and messy in a good way. Family owned and operated I feel like I'm home when I see Dora and Juan. Closed Mondays, open 7a-2p the rest of the week. You won't be sorry you stopped in to eat and meet the "regulars" read more

Here in Yakima again. This is my go to for breakfast. Not sure if it's the potatoes, friendly service, or the overall experience. Whatever it is, it works. See you folks next time I come to town. read more

I love good good with FRESH ingredients that are made to order. With special eating requirements, it can be hard to find restaurants that will accommodate what I need (dairy/gluten/soy/sugar free) but they made me breakfast EXACTLY how I needed it - scrambled eggs with no butter and red potatoes& onions with no butter as well as fresh hand made pico. She also gave me half of her personal avocado because they didn't have any at the restaurant. Talk about MAKING MY DAY. I plan to ALWAYS come back here, especially for breakfast. love Good customer service! read more

Backwoods Cafe - BEST breakfast "on the road" - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the most amazing French toast I've ever had, but seeing the other reviews raving the same way . . . I'd say it's not really needed. I had the crunchy corn flake French toast which was amazing! It's crunchy with so much flavor. It came with eggs & I ordered a side of bacon. I order my eggs well done & typically no one gets it right, but they did! My only complaint is walking past the kitchen I had some skepticism lol. . . And it's also not cheap. I'll definitely be back though because I haven't found another good breakfast place. read more

4.5 stars. The food: Classic breakfast dishes were amazing! Great breakfast and lunch! Hand made everything! I personally had the crispy chicken salad, it was filling and of good quality. The crispy chicken pieces had the perfect size and perfect crispness! The Service: was excellent! Came here with a party 8, they were happy to do separate checks. Food was brought out at the same time, and timely! Water was constantly refilled. All in all: this place has excellent food and service! I would definitely recommend coming here, this competes with some of my favorite breakfast spots over in Seattle! read more

Backwoods Cafe - Gravy, gravy, beautiful gravy! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yakima, Washington

The sign on the entry table at Backwoods Cafe reads "nothing fancy, just good food." And what good food it is! I ordered the mexi-plate, a delicious vegetarian dish that reminded me of the migas at the beloved Tamale House in Austin, TX. At our waitress's recommendation, I got the red potatoes and refried beans on the side (and a yummy buttermilk biscuit for good measure!) The red potatoes stood out especially: thinly sliced and crisped with a sprinkling of salt. My husband was equally enthusiastic about the potatoes and loved his dish, the Backwoods french toast. This house specialty sounded strange on the menu (traditional French toast covered in corn flakes), but the effect was scrumptious! Everyone who worked there was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We were offered lots of coffee and water refills, and our waitress was helpful in pointing out vegetarian items on the menu that weren't explicitly marked vegetarian (many are). We didn't see any vegan items, though, so that would be my only caveat for fellow veggie travelers. We didn't ask, though, so it would be worth calling ahead to see if they could make the oatmeal or another dish vegan. Everything is made to order, so I suspect they would be happy to find a way! All in all, this is a fantastic breakfast spot, and we'll be sure to return the next time we're road-tripping through Washington! It was so good, in fact, that we were happy that the meager selection of stale donuts at our hotel required a breakfast stop. read more
