The ambiance is cozy. Obviously a favorite of locals, I saw why first hand. There are large windows which light up the eating area. Those windows face the runway and watching planes come and go are a thrill. There is plenty of parking and one does not feel compelled to leave if time allows for plane watching after a good meal. The menu was varied with breakfast and lunch options. The food was wonderful. Servings were more than generous. The staff in the open food preparation area are in view of the diners and call out greetings; and that same friendliness is carried through to the servers. The only concern I had is personal. I don't like to eat out of metal which was the composition of the bowl the salad was served in. The bottom was not very flat, so the bowl was wobbly and needed to be held in place with my non fork holding hand. I will definitely be back to try a sandwich and a slice of pie. read more

What a great little place! We were travelling into town and decided to take my Father-in-Law out to lunch and he picked Reno's on the Runway. I've heard him talk about it before but had never gone prior to this day. We arrived right around noon and happened to grab one of the last two tables. I had the salad bar, soup and split a tuna sandwich with my wife and ended up with way more than I could eat. The soup of the day was creamy potato and it was really good. The sandwich was also excellent. It was made with a sweet tuna salad which was very nice. The standout, however, was the salad bar. There were so many options! I told myself that I was going to try a few options and then go back for the others... I couldn't. I was just too full. The salad options I did have were fantastic and I'd go back just for the salad bar. On our way out we decided to take a couple slices of cake to go and, I have to say, WOW! We got the red velvet and double chocolate and they were incredible. There were so many other options that it was hard for us to land on these choices. We're just going to have to go back to get some of the other ones :) read more

What a fun find. $12 salad bar with a variety of salads and soup all you can eat as well ( one serving was perfect but if needed go for more:) They had a local Chardonnay for $6 and it was Bonaire which is absolutely delicious. You sit right on the run way and the experience ended with the most amazing lemon bar ever! read more

Always cool to grab lunch while being able to listen to air traffic. Their specials always hit the spot.

Have been wanting to stop at this local place for years; not sure why we never have but Hubs and I finally stopped today and were thrilled with our choice. We were instantly greeted by staff as soon as we entered, love that. We got to choose our table by the windows to enjoy the spectacular view west towards the runway. Inside dining area has mostly two and four top tables. Staff was attentive and friendly. Hubs ordered a yummy espresso milkshake for starters (he likes treats before food). Lunch special, not on the menu, was a super flavorful chipotle steak sandwhich on thin pita bread. Couldn't pick it up since it was ooooey-goooey so I happily used a fork. Hubs had a the YKM Turkey wrap (substituted chicken) with cranberry that was stuffed to the gills. Huge portions. Both of us had the side soup of beef mushroom & noodles; hearty and good flavor. I'm a sucker for mac-n-cheese so we shared it as a second side; too runny for me but can't win 'em all. We were stuffed so we got dessert to-go: a gigantic piece of coconut cream pie and a jumbo slice of cherry pie. Chef's Kiss! A little windy and chilly today so we will def have to return on a nicer day so we can try the outside seating area. There is also a public runway viewing area next door that had picnic tables and an area for pets. read more

Delicious Food! A fun Place to have lunch with a view of the Runway!! Homemade Soup,Salads, Salad Bar, Desserts, and The Special of the Day! Great Place to have Breakfast or Lunch! read more

Reno's On The Runway is this semi-hidden gem by the McAllister Air Museum in Yakima. I've got celiac disease so eating out is always a challenge but they have huge salads, gluten free bread for all of their sandwiches and even a gluten free chocolate cake for dessert! It's so much fun watching the airplanes flying in and out of the airport. The coziness of the restaurant lends itself to conversations with the other diners. I highly recommend Reno's On The Runway! I will be back so that I can post my delicious GF Turkey cranberry feta sandwich! read more

Flew in to meet my brother there, and it was busy but service was quick. The airport director was there having lunch which looked so good, my copilot and I ordered the same Half turkey sandwich on Renos artisan bread with a cup of soup. Both were fantastic and filling. Great stop! I'll be back!! read more

I went into Reno's for the first time having always driven by and I was blown away! The staff first off was so kind and helpful. Not only with selecting food for someone with allergies but with helping us figure out our flight by using their flightaware tablet. The food was amazing! I've had Bahn Mi's from all over and I have to say, this one might be towards the top of my list. There's something about the sweet chili sauce they use that just pulled the whole sandwich together. Everyone in our party loved their meals and most of us even had extras to take home as the portions were pretty large. Inside of building is cute, decorated with lots of aircraft decor. It's small inside and seemed like it can get pretty busy but it's a nice place to stop and eat in. Outside seating looked like it would be fun to watch the planes if you get the chance! read more

My mom showed me this place. I thought she was nuts for suggesting a restaurant next to the airport but omg..just do yourself a favor and go. I'm a sucker for salad bars and Reno's has one of the best, most fresh salad bars in the valley. Don't even get me started on their homemade soups. No matter what soup is being served that day, it's going to be amazingly fresh and sooo flavorful. The staff is so friendly and attentive, making sure to answer any and all questions. We took my father in law to this place (he is so picky about his order.....like OCD ridiculous picky) and they knocked it out of the park. He said it was one of the best meals he has had in a while. He came from out of town from Alabama. I honestly don't think that there is a bad dish to get at this place. The biscuits and gravy is also TO DIE for. Huge portions. Scenery is amazing and I love the fact you can sit outside on a warmer day and watch the planes come and go. Thank you Reno's! We will continue to keep coming back. read more

The flat bread with Caramelized onions and bacon was AMAZING! Didn't expect it to be sweet, but it's browned with local honey!! My husband had the Reno and was floored by it. Everything is made fresh in the shop and served with friendliness and panache. It was my birthday and they brought me out a generous slice of their dark chocolate cake. Mmmmm. I had the chicken salad with their succulent homemade dressing. It was a lot and I had to take home half of it. Reno and his wife both came to our table and made us feel like family. They are only open Tuesdays through Fridays 10:00 to 4:00 so it's a small window to try them out, but worth the effort! read more

Salad bar and soup were fresh and delicious. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service is a 10/10.

Went to this lunch spot recommended by a friend. I did take-out but what a cute small restaurant by the runway. Pretty secluded and cool interior decor. I do wish the place was a tad bigger.. felt like I was constantly running into someone especially by the salad bar. I am all for self-serve salad bar! So many options and quality items. I was able to fill up a go-to box for $8.99. We also ordered the cockpit sandwich: steak, arugula, pickled red onions and herb spread on a soft sub roll. AMAZING! Bread was perfectly toasted and that herb spread was to die for. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. read more

Wowza! We were looking for a light lunch as we drive through Yakima on our way home and Reno's did not disappoint. Outstanding service and an actual salad bar with the best homemade croutons. Wish we were more hungry, as their pies looked amazing! Will eat here again! read more

Reno's is an excellent place to get breakfast or lunch. Staci and Donny are super kind and welcoming and they run a nice little restaurant out of what was the original airport terminal for the Yakima Airport back in the 1930s. Lots of history with that building and they've decorated the interior with all sorts of aviation stuff. The portions are huge, especially the "slices" of cake and pie, and the food is delicious. If you love chocolate, get the chocolate pie. It's amazing! It's a popular stop for pilots who fly in for a bite to eat and park their planes next to the restaurant. They keep the tower frequency dialed up so you can listen to the communications between the Yakima air traffic controllers and pilots flying in and out of the airport. read more

After watching this place they transformed from an old outbuilding, to a restaurant sitting just on the east end of the runway in Yakima, we were excited to finally get to try it. We figured we would wait about a month so that they got some of the kinks worked out from a serving perspective. We finally got to stop by and were very impressed with what we found! I went back-and-forth between a four and a five on this place, but it ultimately got the five star bump after we tasted our salad... More to come! The place is literally right at the end of the runway to the east of the airport. There's seating for about 25 people with additional seating both out front and in back. It was a little bit cool while we were there, so we sat inside, but I can imagine this being a pretty awesome spot on a nice spring day. We found things here are definitely on the higher end of pricing, but quickly found out that the sizes of things are gigantic. It ended up being a pretty good value for the money when you consider how much food you get - literally everyone left with leftover! We shared a charcuterie board as well as the first class salad, and that was more than enough for two of us. Get a side of croutons, before I say anything else! They're little squares of heaven! The charcuterie board Set up nicely with three types of cheeses, a couple of meats and some nice accompaniments including some small pickles, pickled onions and some crème fraîche (I think) with honey. They had a nice mustard seed cheese, a very sharp aged cheese and a layered cheddar - all were very nice, and there was a lot of it. We ended up taking some home. Having an additional more potent edition like a blue would've been nice, but it's definitely gilding the Lily at that point. The first class salad is probably the favorite salad I've ever had! It was greens, dried cherries, candied walnuts, a very nice apple vinaigrette, sliced apples, some cherry tomatoes and was topped with a baked brie inside puff pastry! I can't believe I've never seen that before, but it seriously is the best thing I've ever seen put on a salad. Next time, I think we're going to order it with steak, and it may be the perfect meal! The servers, including the owner, we're all very nice and very attentive. They greeted everyone on the way in and on the way out, and made it a really friendly atmosphere. The lunch crowdWas a nice mix of working professionals and retirees so the noise level wasn't crazy. We are very excited about trying many of the different options here. They've got a nice array of sandwiches and salads, as well as a salad bar. They have specials for happy hour, which included beer and wine specials. This will be a really fun spot to continue to check out during the different seasons. You should definitely check it out, this is a great new addition To whatever advance and culinary scene! read more

Needs improvement. Clam chowder was not typical. Price of a sandwich and soup was pretty high. Service was fast. Ambiance is that it's just small and fills up fast in the cooler months. Outdoor available during warmer months. read more

We did a quick pick up order and had the french dip, the ykm wrap and the tower wrap. I had the navy bean and ham soup with mine and the others went with chips. The sandwiches were amazing!! The soup was more watery than I expected for navy bean and ham but it tasted good. We will return and recommend to others!! read more

If I could give this place more stars, I would! We got here about 15 minutes after they opened and weren't too sure if it was open. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by everyone that works here. They're all so friendly and attentive. We ordered their pickle sandwich and cub cob salad. While we were waiting for our food. People trickled in every few minutes. We clearly beat the rush because the place was packed by the time we left. They have a special they advertise on their board, a salad cart with baked goods proudly displayed above. This place is obviously right next to the local air strip, so they have all different types of model aircraft hanging from the ceilings. One of the ladies was telling us if you put together a model, they will hang it in the restaurant. They have a patio where you can watch planes come and go, they even provide blankets. Now to the food. Our food came and we were not disappointed. The salad was filled to the brim with all the fixings. Candied bacon, ham, turkey, boiled eggs and 3 containers of ranch! This place does not play around! It came with a cute little baguette with butter and peppercorns. My pickle sandwich had real turkey, mayonnaise, lettuce and a juicy peppered tomato slice. I had to eat it with a knife and fork because it was so loaded. You can get chips or soup, I got the ravioli soup and it was so hearty and flavorful. They have a whole dessert menu, but unfortunately we had to pass on it this time. I'm definitely going to make this a new place to stop at on my way to and from Seattle. I can't express how much I love this place after one visit! Keep up the amazing food and environment guys! read more

Very tasty food! And what an amazing view of airport operations. .good service and they cater too.

Food was excellent, but slow in coming, but I assume they were short-staffed that day. They were very busy and had one waitress and the cook. The waitress also had to prepare many lattes to go. This was my third visit and had no complaints with the first two visits. I will return again! read more

This place is AMAZING! Huge portions and food is out of this world!! I had the biscuits and gravy, it starts with a biscuit bottom, sausage patty, biscuit top, another sausage patty.

Staff is super friendly and provide great service! read more

Kids will love watching the airplanes, and there is beer and wine for the adults. read more

I met a girlfriend for lunch and we both ordered macaroni and cheese with their side salad. I asked that an ingredient be left out of my salad (red onions) and that the dressing changed to ranch. The macaroni and cheese wasn't bad...it just wasn't. It had been finished in the oven and there was no semblance of cheese anywhere to be found. There was a bit of liquid in the bottom of the dish which kept that macaroni from being completely dried out as was the macaroni on top, with some of it adhered to the dish. And it was slightly overdone. No appearance or taste of any cheese whatsoever. It also had some bright orange crumbles sprinkled on top and looked similar to the dried cheese product that comes in Kraft mac and cheese or possibly Cheetos finely crumbled and sprinkled. Couldn't really detect a flavor from it either. They were kind enough to give me the salad the way I requested but I was told there would be no substitutions made to her side salad next time. Pretty bold of you to make that assumption. I understand their sandwiches are good, if you like thick, hearty bread, and they have a nice salad bar but for the time we had to wait, it was just not worth it at all. read more

Amazing food and great service. Small cafe, but I loves the ambiance. Definitely recommend trying some of their desserts! I love the raspberry bar. read more

Ok, let me begin by saying that I love to cook and eat. I am always on the lookout for a great restaurant with great service and great food. There is a few restaurants out here in Yakima that are good. I almost did not write this review just because I don't want everybody crowding my new restaurant that I have found, Lol. That would not be fair to this wonderful establishment and their staff. Let me just tell you, this is probably the best tasting food that I have tasted in a very long time that comes from a restaurant. I had passed by it many times as I live near bye not thinking much of it because it's next to the airport here in Yakima. But my daughter and I decided to stop in and give it a try. They had a small menu compared to most but let me tell you the food we had was superb and so delicious. Everything we had was homemade nothing out of a can. I went in and ordered biscuits and gravy and I thought to myself well I'm going to get two of those small little biscuits with some gravy out of a can and then I thought to myself I better order some bacon eggs on the side so I got a special they had with bacon eggs and toast the entire meal was about $18.00. You may think this is expensive but let me just tell you it's enough to feed two people. I brought the leftovers home and had dinner with them. The service was excellent, fast and friendly and the coffee was so delicious it was actual coffee not like most coffee's you get at other restaurants that are unflavorful. I normally do not guarantee anything to anybody but let me tell you Reno's on the runway is my favorite restaurant from Ellensburg to Tri-Cities. I have eaten in almost all restaurants in the west side of the state and in the central side. This is my number one right now. I believe it will be my number one for many years to come. Just so you know I am a chef amongst other things and this food is a number 10 out of 10. I don't think I've ever said that about a restaurant, I am not saying this because I know them or they are friends of mine or family members I'm saying this honestly and truthfully, this food is so very delicious. Like I tell many people you got to try it for yourself. Thank you for reading this review and you will say, Eddie was right this is the best. read more

I tried Reno's for the first time today and it was honestly the best meal I've had in months. I had the airline salad and the cockpit sandwich, and both were amazing - gourmet-level cooking. I will definitely be going back! read more

Stopped in for the first time ( In our home town) small little establishment with big personality. Love the plane history/decor as this is next to the airport. You can watch the planes take off/land. Had the sausage ravioli soup and it was one of the best we've ever eaten. Lordy it was good! 3 cheese grilled cheese sandwich came with it as it was the lunch special. Good home cooking with super friendly staff. Don't know why we waited so long to try this place out but this will be one of our frequent stops for lunch in the future. Highly recommend. read more

Like the people. Don't like the idea of you want to serve breakfast starting at 10am. I am wayyy hungry before then when it comes to breakfast. If you are the type willing to wait - good food. Just a tad on high side for some things. Other things priced right and plenty to eat. Nice place to eat. Different than the rest of places around town. read more
