Another good breakfast at Powerhouse. Good value. Food is pretty good. Maybe not awesome, but decent fare. Prices are, under current conditions, reasonable. Portions are pretty good, but not as large as they used to be - I don't t think. Service was good. Ambiance is okay. read more

We usually come here for breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday morning. It amazes me that it can be completely packed but they seat you and wait on you so fast! We've never had to wait long. Food is always consistent. They have fried cheese grits that are out of this world amazing, you just don't find that around here. Big open restaurant with lots of seating options! We drive an hour to come to this place because they have one of the best breakfasts in the valley! read more

For Mother's Day, my daughter ordered eggs Benedict to go. They were fabulous, so good, I enjoyed every bite.

The food is amazing and quality of it was very fresh. The staff very friendly and very explanatory on their meals. The place was very clean and lively read more

There's nothing fancy or special about this place; it's just good food and decent service. It's a quick stop if you're coming off of Hwy 12, or a simple pleasure for locals. Prices have gone up here since the last time, but that's pretty much everywhere, right? read more

We were in the area for the weekend. My nephew lives in Yakima & suggested this place for breakfast before we headed out to return home. Parking lot was packed but fortunately a space opened up not far from the door. We all walk with canes and all the handicap spots were taken. People were waiting but my nephew got there early & already had a table. The people waiting were two larger parties but they got seated pretty quickly too. Our party ordered the French Toast breakfast, the Muffin Breakfast with a delicious cranberry orange muffin filled with plenty of cranberries, a burger & fries that was perfectly cooked, and I ordered the Salmon from the Senior/Small Plate menu. Expected it to be pre-cooked & dried out but it was tender, moist & perfectly cooked! Decent tartar sauce & a baked potato (at 11am!) with butter & sour cream. I chose cabbage with bacon for my veggie side & it was sooo good & buttery! Three of us took cinnamon rolls home, which were pretty good. Service was good, friendly & knowledgeable. We'll definitely return next time we're in the area!!! read more

I ordered a 16 oz medium rare prime rib that looked like they pulled well done chunks out of the garbage and they didn't include one of the two side. It was a to-go order, so I wasn't able to get my order fixed, It was inedible, I threw it away and wasted my money. Very disappointed with the terrible food. read more

Absolutely Dangerous - Avoid at All Costs Come here if you want to risk your life with what's on your plate. I ordered the Omelet with Grilled Cheese Grits, and while eating the grits, I suddenly felt something sharp in my mouth. I pulled out a 1-inch long glass chip with sharp edges. If I had swallowed it, I could've ended up in the ER--or worse. I went back to the restaurant to report this serious safety hazard and request compensation. Shockingly, the manager refused to offer cash compensation, only credit coupon for their restaurant. Why would I ever return to a place that almost injured me? I told them clearly: I won't be coming back, and I don't want a coupon from a restaurant that can't ensure basic food safety. End up with leaving my number to them, I want the owner's explanation for this situation. This was not a minor issue--this was a life-threatening oversight. Sadly I don't even know whether I already swallowed some glass chips before i found this one. The lack of accountability is just as disturbing as the glass in my food. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

I like how they had the tables ready and service I love the food and the server I love Power House Grill

Service was slow, (2hours to get dinner) food was cold and prepared incorrectly.My guess it was a problem with the kitchen help.

The server was great. However the gravy on the biscuits and gravy was horrible! And it has been for years. I think it's flour and milk mixed together with a fraction of pepper sprinkled on it. It would have to improve dramatically just to be bland. I was hoping my GF would say something to the server & the cashier but she doesn't like to do that. It should have been removed from the bill as she only ate three bites. I really hope the restaurant reads this and improves the gravy. It's pretty bad. read more

Worst meal I have had in awhile. Celebrating anniversary with the family. I ordered fish and chips with a baked potato instead of fries from the senior men. Neither the potato nor fish was fully cooked and my daughter's burger arrived lukewarm. The service was great but the food was subpar. read more

Portion size was pathetic. I mean a playing card size of salmon. Prices have increased drastically and size of meal decreased, bad combination. Did not get bread until salad was completed. read more

Ate there twice, great home cooked food. Casual family diner with great service. We got there about 1/2 hour before closing and they never rushed us but were happy to serve us. The prawns in light batter served with their homemade chips was excellent. Both times I had my family of four, and all of our dishes were tasty! The burgers are huge! Will definitely return when I come back to visit my daughter while she's in med school. read more

Baked Parmesan halibut was tasteless with melted cheese. Steak stroganoff was slapped together with noodles, brown grave, sautéed mushrooms, and slices of steak. Waiter and other staff were very friendly but food was very disappointing. Remember now why we don't eat here. read more

We had a very yummy breakfast here the other day! They have an extensive menu, from breakfast item to sandwiches, and apparently prime rib dinners on certain days of the week. Something for everyone. You can tell the clientele is a bit older at this diner, but the service is friendly, they have a lot of seating, and the food seems solid. I ordered the Ham and Swiss crepes with Hollandaise sauce, which were delicious! I would order them again. For $3 extra you can add in 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, and 2 sausages, which is a wonderful price for these things, especially considering they all tasted super fresh and were good sized. My friend ordered the Sweet Potato pancakes, which I tried and thought were quite good. They taste a bit like cinnamon and had a good amount of sweetness to them - not over the top. read more

I cannot believe after living in the Yakima Valley for going on 40 years that this is the first time we visited Powerhouse Grill. From the minute we walked in the front door we were treated like long lost family by our server Amber. Watching her work with other customers was nice, She is so personable and obviously like family to regulars. I can see why. We will be back. Thank you Amber for making our rare evening out just so pleasant. And for making this feel like such a comfortable slice of home. Rare indeed! 5 stars. read more

We had eggs benedict and a cinnamon roll. The service was great, the cinnamon roll was perfection and the eggs benedict was great, the hollandaise sauce was too thick, other than that everything was wonderful!! Loved JJ the young man that seated us, he was a delight!! read more

The service and restaurant are amazing. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. The staff is well trained and they are all kind and pleasant. The food is the problem. The hashbrowns always come out white and half cooked. The one time I sent them back, they came back over cooked and half of them missing. This time I simply lived with half cooked hash browns. The ingredients for the "stuffed" hash browns presented as being heated in a microwave as they were chewy and like warm by the time I got them. The country gravy was measured out like I was asking for liquid gold. The gravy was also bland and tepid. The eggs were under the gravy and one was over easy and one was over hard. I ordered two over easy eggs. The CFS appeared to be a frozen variety that is deep fried. Before someone says "We make everything fresh" then tell me, as a former professional cook, the food presented, and tasted, like frozen and canned products? The point of this review is that I am making the owners of the Powerhouse aware they have a well run front of the house. It is your kitchen staff, and those in charge back there, that are your problem. I will not be back to the Powegouse to eat. I can get a clean restaurant and friendly staff, and sub par food at McDonald's much cheaper. read more

Top tier in my book. They have theeee best ranch I've ever had! The owner is awesome super nice and friendly, food is 10/10, never had a bad time here. It's my go to when I'm craving some good homey comfort food! Highly recommend read more

Food and pricing were really good, and at first our waiter was attentive.... Even though he sat us near people and it felt kinda too close for comfort..there was a whole other half of the restaurant that was empty and everyone was sat really close together... Then we got our food and about halfway thru eating he comes and asks if we wanted dessert...um I'm not done eating yet so I told him I didn't know because well ...we weren't finished. Then about 5 minutes later he drops the check again getting that rushed feeling.. and does the whole "if I don't see u guys again" speech like he was in a hurry to finish his tables. I am a server and I think if he had timed everything a bit better as in watching the plates and body language of the customer it would've been better. So that's why the 3 star rating. We will probly come back read more

When you see 5 stars Do not think this is a place you would wear an evening gown or tuxedo too. I give this place five stars because of the variety that they offer (like liver and onions, oysters a full liquor bar and other unusual options). This is one of those places that looks like a Denny's acts like a Denny's but has an extensive menu that they pull off very well. For the price of the meals this place gets 5+ stars for what they provide. I find the consistency here also five , service five stars . Again it's not fancy but this is a place that you can always go to and get a good meal and a nice glass of vino read more

Great service, friendly staff. The food is hit and miss. Some is fresh and from scratch, while other items are obviously frozen prepackaged. The ambiance is much like a Denny's. The menu is busy, and somewhat pricey for what it is. read more

I'll just say ... we won't be coming back Hubby had steak & eggs ... Food served on heated plates but food was cold ??? I had fruit with my breakfast.. I'm pretty sure the blueberries were rinsed off frozen blueberries We stopped coming for dinner a while back Just not as good as it used to be Very disappointed read more

Go there Everytime we are in town. Great service , wonderful food. Have never been disappointed.

You will not go home hungry! This classic styled diner is nothing like other diners. The portions were huge and tasty. I was surprised because typically large portions equal mediocre food in many places. That is not true here. The hollandaise sauce was on par with the best, which is hard to find! The blintzes are platter sized! The sweet potato pancakes are incredible. The omelettes are fresh and delicious! The servers are sweet and wonderful. read more

The only reason this place is getting 3 stars is the staff was very attentive and courteous. This place is in Yakima right off the freeway. I'm not expecting high end cuisine. As for the meal. Being it was Friday night, there special was the prime rib. Both my wife and I ordered it. She the 8oz and I the 12oz. When it came out, ok, it looked decent enough. How bad was it? While it was medium rare, the provided steak knife couldn't cut thru the steak. It was ripping and tearing thru it. Thankfully I ALWAYS carry a sharp pocketkife with me. As I dived into it, I knew I was in for disappointment. The flavor was almost none existant and the provided au jus was just as weak. One side of the prime rib even had its silverskin on it! No wonder the seasoning didn't make it to the flesh. Lastly, it wasn't just a dull steak knife. This prime rib cut like a chuck roast. The local geriatric crowd was out in force and they obviously love it. I however won't be back. read more

My experience here is limited. I saw the sign and stopped for lunch on an impulse. I'm glad I did. This is a total throwback and reminiscent of a large diner with diner fare. When in Rome, and so I had a club sandwich and a bowl of split-pea soup which I'm told is only available on Thursdays'. Well no I have a new lucky day! Move over Friday; Thursday is split-pea soup day at the Power House Grill in Yakima Washington. It was the best split- pea soup ever, ever, ever!! Move over Grandma and make room for this soup!! Split-pea soup is the ultimate comfort food and they ladled a generously full bowl. Very hot, split peas and ham are simmered in a delicious broth to give you a thick, but not too thick and hearty soup! It was a taste experience with a subtly soft kick at the end. Perfectly epic sou This belly warming soup lasts in t . read more

Powerhouse Grill is a diner with average food, service and older decor. I would go back here if asked by a friend but wouldn't go here on my own. This place is the equivalent of IHOP with the menu choices and atmosphere. The teenage waitress did a decent job checking on drinks but didn't know how to set down the entree dishes, didn't clean the dirty dishes, and talked way too loudly. That was probably because the place was 90% full of senior citizens and she hadn't seen someone under age 55 in a long time. While I was eating my salad, she brought the entrees to us then stared at me while I moved my plate vs. just setting down the entree. She also asked if I wanted the salad and roll that came with my meal - yes, I'm paying for it so give it to me. I got the halibut fish and chips. The halibut was surprisingly good for where I was - my expectations weren't that high. The fries were meh, so was the side dish of squash and overcooked baby carrots. The side salad was fine and the roll was too. My friend got the French dip sandwich with wedge fries. She enjoyed it. She picked this place as it was somewhere she had gone to for a long time. She told me it's the only place on this side of Yakima that's not fast food besides Red Lobster so there you go. We overheard the manager tell the table next to us that the prime rib they ordered - that night's special - wasn't available in the temp they wanted unless they wanted to wait an hour so they ordered something else. Huh? The bathroom was a mess. The grill is decorated like a Denny's or IHOP from 1983 but our booth was comfortable. The booth seat moved around. Some maintenance would go a long way. You pay at the register which is slow, even with no one in line ahead of you. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Parking: 3 read more
