Only been here once, for breakfast and it was good. I love their complimentary sweet rolls. Breakfast was done well and the service was good. The place was clean and it was busy! Had a very homey atmosphere. I'll go back for sure. read more

Just No. Food bland, small portions, overpriced, service... I felt bad for the wait staff.

Roadside cafe for public with big sign on front door bathrooms are for paying customers only. Not very hospitable. Adjacent truck stop has no bathrooms available either, stated plumbing issues. Yuma gets a bad vote for my travels as far as these two businesses. read more

Went there one morning for breakfast. Little slow but very busy. I won't hesitate to return.

Great breakfast and lunch selections. Service is slower when it's busy. The coffee cake is the best thing in this place. Overall, a great place to get breakfast. read more

Fish and Chips so good. Highly recommend you try this place when you visit Yuma Arizona

Wife and I like everything about this place! Service, speed, environment and food are all great!

Bring along a wheel barrel full of money! I can't believe I just paid $25.00 for a cheeseburger, piece of carrot cake, and a glass of water. Too bad it was mediocre at best. I've been going here since about '07, think this was my last stop. read more

Lots of 5 star reviews, and I'm sorry I can't join them as we may have caught them on a terrible off-night. Got seated right away and offer of drinks. Bartender came and asked if we wanted our margaritas on rocks or blended and salt or none - very admirable = 1 star. Waitress (do we still call them that?) - Linda - was very pleasant and fun to banter with. Now we start to fall off the cliff. We ordered dinner. A couple was seated well after us right behind us and starts getting their meal. 20 mins, 30 mins, 40 mins go by and no food yet. Linda came over and says they had a "snag in the kitchen" but it's on its way. Another 10 mins and she comes back and verifies the order. She brings 2 salads and had to be reminded of the 3rd salad. Still no meal. My sister goes to talk to the manager but finds they are not there. But assuming the assistant manager says she will take care of it. Finally after an hour, and the other couple are done, Linda comes out with 2 of our 3 dinners and informs us that the chicken parm that we ordered, and that WAS VERIFIED, they had no marinara for it!!! She asked what else we would like....... She apologized profusely and we made another choice. When we had finished, Linda came back, apologized again and said that they were short staffed in the kitchen and "he" was doing the best he could, and offered to pay for a dessert. We declined and I suggested they could comp the substituted meal. She had to check with "management" and came back with the check and said they did comp the meal. I was a guest of my sister and brother-in-law (RESIDENTS of Yuma) and was pretty disappointed. I totally understand the lack of employees, especially since almost everywhere you look you see "Help Wanted" signs, but that is the job of a manager - what is plan B??? Second star is for Linda. Probably not her fault that she probably wasn't told there was no marinara until the last second, but unfortunately she's the front line and has to tell someone that. I will not be returning, and it sounds like my sis & bro won't be either. read more

Something changed about a year ago at the Foothills location... we are locals, not Snowbirds; they were always our weekly go-to. About a year ago it all went to crap. We have not received a complete, correct order since, and last week we got 2 portions of banana bread that was moldy on the bottom... just our experiance.. Not going back. read more

This looks and feels like a TRUCK stop breakfast place, but the food is GREAT! I really like the sweet potato pancakes (American heart association approved!) and all the other foods were delicious too! It's a no frills, kind of place. Just dishing good old traditional American breakfast foods! read more

Sorry no picture. I was starving. As soon as my plate landed on the table - 5 STARS! I didn't even taste the food before I decided it was going to be a 5 star review. Sirloin steak and eggs, I dumped my biscuits & gravy on top. Yummy yummy. Bomb steak ! read more

Great service by Janet and a fabulous lunch. Got the BLTA and the Yuma Deli stack. Stack is right! Finished of with a delicious pecan pie. Wish they had a sugar free option for my grandfather. Not enough of that. Clean restaurant and restaurant. Not much shade of you have animals in the car. Overall, I feel this place has improved over the years. read more

Daybreakers Cafe - Yummy pecan pie - Diners Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

This is a great location for a top off between Phoenix and San Diego. It is easy to find at exit 12 off the freeway on the outside of Yuma. The food is excellent and the service is quick and friendly. It was recommended by the desk clerks at our hotel there is also reasonable Haus at stations nearby. We checked Gas Buddy. This will be one of our regular in transit stops. We had cat fish for supper and pecan sweet potato pancakes and French toast for breakfast. They also have some of the best carrot cake we have enjoyed. We took some back to our room to have with coffee later. read more

New to the foothills and thought I would try this restaurant since it always looks busy when driving by. Good choice. I had a great breakfast omelet and excellent service. So glad I stopped in. Will definitely continue to come here. Thank you to the staff for great service read more

In the middle of nowhere we found this little gem. Located by a truck stop, this place is extremely clean and welcoming. Great food, huge portions, vast selection, decent service. I'm going to put the Daybreakers Café on my map. read more

Good grub. Had the best breakfast ever here. I am not usually a fan of pancakes but they smelled so good I tried two on the side and they were the best ever!!!! Sorry grandma. read more

Good all-American food. Waitresses are efficient and friendly. I have never had a bad meal here.

Good food! Good service!! Very convenient and clean environment. Prices are reasonable. Try it!!! The menu gives you a little of many tastes. read more

Think twice before going here. My husband and I were sitting in a booth that you can see inside the kitchen. The waitress with blue hair touched someone's food with no gloves and then served it. We will not be back... read more

I used to enjoy breakfast here because of their homemade chicken fried steak. Portions were extremely generous. This visit, I ordered the chicken fried steak and they now have replaced homemade with a frozen tasteless replacement. Very disappointed because their menu still says it is homemade. read more

I love this Restaurant i live in the foothills so its very close went with my husband last year the people are very nice and polite and the food was great i will be back read more

I love this local gem! Great service and value for the money. Portions are generous and great flavors. Options for dietary restrictions.

Always friendly and we have never had bad food all great and the cinnamon coffee cake is to die for!

I felt my BLT was thrown together. The bacon was cold and the tomato was thick sliced and difficult to manage and the lettuce was cut off a head and wedged into the sandwich. Fruit instead of French fries proved unsatisfactory because fruit wasn't fresh. Too ripe and kind of slimy. Second visit here. First was good. This time a disappointment. I didn't tell the server of my concerns so she had no way of knowing I wasn't pleased. read more

All of the favorites: strawberry specialty pancakes, veggie quesadilla & the MILKSHAKES! Always great service, love everyone there. This is a true family style 24/7 restaurant, my favorite in town. read more

You have to stop here ! I'm a truck driver on my way to California I stayed at the flying j truck stop and walked over to Daybreakers Cafe . SO HAPPY I DID !! my food was delicious I got a sirloin, mashed potatoes & gravy with a salad . My teammate got pork chops and we ate every bite , the waitress was really nice and funny too !! The menu is INCREDIBLE. We are probably going to order breakfast there in the morning it was that good read more

I cannot support a business that is OK with employees being berated and humiliated in front of customers by another employee. If this happens in front of customers what must happen behind the scenes. When we arrived a very nice young lady by the name of Ana greeted us and sat us down, very friendly and welcoming. She sat us in a booth, however another employee, an older brunette lady with glasses just went off on poor Ana. She started screaming at her saying she could not sit us in a booth with a stroller because it is a fire hazard. I understand the safety concern, but this woman could have handled it differently. During our entire meal this woman with the glasses would not leave Ana and another employee alone, she was mean and rude to them. It was very uncomfortable, and it upset me that I should have said something but I didn't. Not going to patronize a business that treats employees poorly. read more

Visited here awhile ago and remember great food, atmosphere, and service...Looking forward to visiting again this week when in the area...Thx! read more

Every single time I have been to Daybreakers it has been excellent. Breakfast is amazing. The coffee cake is mouthwatering and melts in your mouth. We also like to go for dessert (pies, Thrifty Ice Cream, and other good stuff). The servers are experienced and know what they are doing. I look forward to the new location opening soon! A good classic-old school diner. read more

Ive heard multiple people compliment this restaurant for their breakfasts so of course being a breakfast lover I had to try it (and to be fair I went 3 times hoping maybe I was just catching them on a bad day or two). However, as much as I hate to leave low reviews for small business owners but I've yet to be even mildly impressed. The food lacks flavor (salt and herbs do wonders) their portions are small for the price (unusual as it seems to cater to truckers) and the building is older and it shows. The service is also just so so. Not overly terrible but you can definitely tell your just a ticket. Getting a refill on a drink requires catching a waitress as they pass by. Bummer... I'm always looking for a good breakfast joint but this place doesn't fit that bill. read more

3 of us for dinner at 7PM, never have seen this place so empty. 1 of us ordered liver and onions cooked medium and it came well done, 1 ordered a Cobb Salad and the chicken was so overcooked and dry could hardly cut it. 1 ordered soup and 1 ordered a salad, the salad never arrived and the soup was delivered after the main course!! This really surprised us as we have been coming here for many years and the food and service has always been wonderful. Hopefully this was a temporary condition!! read more

First time here, service was great as well as the food, we didn't expect it to be delicious, I recommend! We ordered the fish and chips, salmon filet read more

Place is a go to for breakfast and dinner. Good home cooking and service. New York steak sandwich is a favorite and you can't go wrong with the chicken fried steak. Also you get large portions there so come hungry. read more

Good food, quaint atmosphere and warm old school service. Would go back and visit again.

Quick taking your order good suggestions explains items on menu no waiting to be seated we ate in the bar was a table of 15 seperate tickets alittle mix up on items not theis well taken care of food very suitable not a typical truck stop its a local restaurant kaoake nights everything for tourist to want a open 24/7 it's easy exit off Highway 8 and Fortunaand locals too. Chicken fried steak wow was so good gravy mashed potatoes. GO FOR IT read more

Crazy. Good luck eating there. Zero covid care. I've eaten here numerous times before the pandemic. Asking to move seats shouldn't be questioned with a WHY? And then proceed to ignore our request... our waitress had no idea the situation, so I feel a little bad leaving so abruptly. The hostess was just a full on negative experience. This place has literally zero care for this pandemic it seems. I doubt I'll ever return, even when this is all over. And I was a usual for years before. I just cant support a restaurant that shows little compassion and safety for their customers. read more

Good truck stop I suppose, if I was a driver. Food is mediocre and drinks are mostly water by a mediocre bartender. Ask for beer. Food is never consistent since the cooks must turn over daily. Tells one something about the owners I surmise. read more

Best restaurant in the foothills.! Never a bad meal and staff are always friendly.! Love love love it.! read more

We went for dinner on a Friday night during happy hour. The place was packed and we struggled to find parking. When we entered the building there was a line with no greeter and the other customers helped us out. When the manager arrived at the desk to ask how many he was very short with us bordering rude. We asked if we could go to the bar to wait for a seat so we could enjoy a drink instead of just standing in the lobby. He was indifferent and flippantly told us if we could find a seat in the bar to go for it. The bartender was nice and attentive. When our table was ready, the manager came to the bar to get us and directed us to a table just on the other side of the wall from the bar. While we were walking he stopped and loudly asked us if we paid for our drinks. It was embarrassing as the place was full and it sounded like we were trying to skip out on paying for a beer. We ordered a steak dinner and a calamari dinner. The steak was marginal at best and the calamari was actually a pan fried block calamari steak. The prices would have you believe that you are in an upper class restaurant but the quality isn't there. If you are going to pay $30 for a steak it needs to be a damn good steak. This is an expensive truck stop with a new paint job. Our waitress, Angelea, was great. She was hustling and had too many tables and was still polite, attentive and thorough. At the end we got our tab and had our alcohol listed for full price. I asked why that was since it was happy hour and I was told you have to be seated in the bar area, 6 inches from our current seats, to get the happy hour pricing. This above all else angered me the most. It wasn't because of the additional $5 but the principal since happy hour was advertised outside, on the door, in the menu and even on our table, but it only applies to the few tables in the south side of the business. All in all We don't feel cheated but it's not a place we would go to on special nights or as a regular hang out. It's too expensive to be a hang out and not nice enough to be a date place. read more
