    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!

    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.

    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.

    Peanut butter French toast

    We split the Peanut Butter French Toast and the Logger Skillet both were delicious. Service was very friendly. Would highly recommend.

    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.

    We made a reservation for Valentine's Day dinner. When we arrived, we were able to park outside and…read morewalk on in. After letting the hostess know that we had arrived for our reservation, they let us know that they were busy and that we had to complete our meal within an a time frame. After being shown to our table, we were given menus, and then we begin to browse. We decided to get the goat cheese appetizer. This is really interesting because it came with green onions and cranberries. Overall, this dish tasted really good. It comes hot so it's best to eat it right away. We then also got the sausage and pepperoni pizza to share. The portion was a good size and it was delicious. You can tell it came straight out of the oven. For our main entrées, we got the hot sausage and veg penne pasta, as well as the Gorgonzola lemon tortellini. Both of the portions were a good size. I personally enjoyed the Gorgonzola lemon tortellini, which was tasty and very rich. My partner got the hot sausage and veg penne pasta and unfortunately it didn't hit. They said it just didn't mesh well together and needed a sauce or something to bring it together. After a meal, we were able to get some to go boxes and enjoy our leftovers the next day. We did not end up using all of the time that they had told us initially.

    People in Yakima have really low standards if they consider this place great food. I have been…read morehere 3 times + market take out a couple and while it's ok comfort food it constantly falls short of my expectations. I really wanted to give this place 4 stars because the market is so cute, the building has amazing potential and really did like the frozen lasagna the one time I had that as a takeout item. I am open to trying again but wasn't impressed with enchiladas, burger (drowned in mayo) or especially the fish and chips. I have had better at a couple fast food places, a diner, a dive bar and food truck in the area.
