To go with it, I subbed a salad instead of fries, and for a small up-charge, I had a half of their pear and blue salad sans the bacon. It was so good! I want to go back for a whole salad and try one of their flatbreads to go with it, so I can bring some leftovers home for lunch the next day. Now, if they had a cocktail offering with a product from the nearby distiller, I would have made him be designated instead of me.

For a small place, its service and food vastly belie the compact nature of its environment. I had one of the best burgers I've had in a long, long time, and this just returning from San Diego, CA, a place known for great burgers, notably "Hodads". The side salad was, unbelievably, even better. Fresh, robust in size, and it just complemented the burger better than I'd have ever imagined. My wife had mixed veggies, avocado, rice, and pintos. All were good/great but the pintos were singularly her plates star. The place was impeccably clean, including the bathrooms. Staff was courteous and professional in all interactions. Literally a smaller venue in a smaller town, that easily is punching above its weight class. Highly recommended.

The other review is clearly malicious and doesn't help anyone. Ignore it. Everyone there greeted us and smiled, and the food was really very, very good. The owner and my wife and I had a really fun & nice conversation and we got back on the road a bit later than we had originally planned, but that's ok! We absolutely loved this place. We even stopped quite earlier for dinner than we had planned when we made our way back home later in the week and went back to Sweetwater! Try the "Sweetwater" beverage. It's GOOOD.

The food is quite good and plentiful. I've ordered the bento box on multiple occasions, and they never skimp on the portions nor on the quality. This and a little jug of nice warm saki make for a delightful dinner. The ambience of the restaurant works well and is split into two parts, with one half an open room devoted more to family style seating and the other half designed for a cozier, more intimate dining occasion. What really sets Yummy Yummy apart, however, are the owner and staff. They are exceptionally warm and welcoming. Sure, they make certain your order is served correctly, but more notably they make certain you are treated exceptionally. You are regarded as a welcomed guest or, if a repeat customer, a returning friend. All in all, Yummy Yummy scores high marks in quirkiness, quality and character, and I give it a hearty recommendation.
