Supposed chicken rice with gravy bowl, everything shoved into a 16 Oz foam cup. No gravy period, called tge restaurant guy says he put 2 ladies of gravy. Said no you didn't or else it sucked into the rice but it would have had to be juice not gravy. How ever, no indication. Staff asked to bring it in but was not able to. Over 10 bucks, 10 bucks for a 16 Oz Styrofoam container. read more

I had thought about eating YaYas for a while, but I wasn't sure about stopping after seeing the lowish rating. The parking lot was busy, though, and there has been a consistent line the whole time we've been here so you know something must be good! Happy to report we had a delicious 4-piece dinner. The chicken had the tasty cook I remember from a good marinade. It wasn't greasy and I was glad we chose to eat here. Mac & cheese was classic, and corn & peppers were a piquant complement. Pita with honey butter was soft and went down easy. The meal was hot and ready super fast, too!! Love that! I'd eat here again! Thanks, YaYas! read more

The chicken here is not as juicy as the ones in flint. The vegetables are ok.. no seasoning. The service here is hit or miss.. you can get a pleasant person or a ride person.. depends on what day you go. The ambiance is bland as sin.. it's backwards read more

A great take out spot or lunch spot. Their new location is in an old bank so they have drive thru now. Yayas has good options if you're looking for something quick like chicken plates, chicken sandwiches, chicken rice bowls and salads. I've been to yayas maybe like three times. Every time I am astounded just how helpful, chill, and personable the staff before. They always give great recommendations and are chatty and approachable. I find the portions at yayas kind of small. They're barely filling and I need to tell myself to order more than I think. This last time I ordered the "two piece" chicken plate but I should have gotten at least three. My fiance got thr mac and cheese meal but it was kind of small. It did have baked beans and lots of cheese tho! read more

YaYa's Flame Broiled Chicken - Mac and cheese - Chicken Wings Near Me - Saginaw, Michigan

See all

Flame broiled chicken was awful! The chicken had been grilled earlier and just tossed back on the grill before serving. The chicken was all dried out, brittle and tasted awful. Couldn't eat the chicken! Sides that came with the dinner were small portions and tasted ok. Definitely would avoid this place in the future. read more

So glad to have YaYas in Bay City! A new must have. Love the chicken and mashed with gravy. We waited so long...but the wait is over. Stop in today. read more

I got this today and the first few bites were so good that I stopped and put down my fork (it was hard) to snap a picture for a Yelp review...it was THAT Good. They have a drive thru-WIN. The guy was very friendly asked how I was doing. I ordered my food and it was ready within a min. Super fast, friendly service. And that doesn't compare to the deliciousness that was this salad. And they gave me two packets of dressing. I opened the salad up and thought oh dear 1 just isn't going to do it. Oh well too late. Nope they put two packets in. What a treat. So delicious. I'll dream about this salad for years to come. read more

YaYa's Flame Broiled Chicken - Large chicken Caesar salad - Chicken Wings Near Me - Saginaw, Michigan

Started the pita bread was warm, great favor, and added the honey butter was outstanding. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Baked beans were great. Will be back to try other foods they have. read more

I enjoy the tasty food, the chicken is delicious. The staff is friendly and efficient. We were there at the end of the day, and talked for an hour. When we left the snow was accumulating. An employee, Emily, noticed and shoveled a path to the car, including the parking lot, and put salt down. As an older adult I was impressed with this young lady! read more

Good chicken with all the usual sides. Staff was on the ball and quickly put our order together. Mash potatoes seemed to be real potatoes and gravy was good-I would prefer they be in separate containers for takeout though. Cole slaw was perfect with the creamy style dressing. You can eat inside which was a rather small dining area. If you need a quick dinner come here! read more

Food was old and dried out 29 bucks for a 4 piece dinner and a jalapeño chicken salad. Very disappointed only thing that was any good was the mashed potatoes and the bread ! I would be embarrassed to serve this read more

The food at Yaya's is always great and the staff is super friendly and kind. I used to work in Saginaw and would come to Yayas about once a week for lunch, and my meal was always ready for me by the time I got to the counter because he remembered what I wanted and prepared it when we saw my car! Other Yayas I've been to have good food but not the service at this location. read more

Decided to take a break from cooking. YaYa's seemed like it would be a nice change from our usual Chinese or Mexican takeout. What a disappointment. The employee was grumpy and unhelpful. The speaker was broken, so had to bend down to speak through the opening in the plexiglass. What a dumb design. The ordering and pickup would have been enough to take all enjoyment out of the meal, but it was only the beginning. The chicken was overcooked and dry, especially the cold shredded sandwich. The meat was so dry not even a full packet of YaYa's dressing could hide the dryness. The dinner was equally poor. I choked down the sandwich, but only because I hate to waste food and money. There were also a couple of minor disappointments. They were out of white meat and honey butter. The bread was the only good thing in the whole order. I was, however, disappointed to discover the flatbread wasn't really a pita. There was no pocket. It was simply a plain piece of flatbread. Overall, I have to give them no more than one star. We won't be going back to a place that gave us poor service and poor food. read more

I had the taste for flame broiled chicken today. The only place that I could think of was Yaya's. I drove over to Center Rd which is in the opposite way I as headed. Now mind you I haven't had this chicken in years. I arrived at the restaurant (which looked deserted). So I called and ask if they were opened. This should've been my first clue to not order anything from here. But I was told that they were opened until 8pm. Mind you there is only 1 other car in the parking lot. I go in and I check out the menu and decided to get a 2 piece chicken dinner, salad and veggies (just in case I didn't like the salad mix). My order was ready pretty quickly (which was great) because I was hangry!! I got in my car and headed home. On my ride home the food smelled burned, not flame broiled. When I opened to box to eat it, the chicken was old and hard. The salad mix was old and some pieces were brown. Well needless to say it was a complete waste of time, money and I won't be back. read more

The chicken is always dry and the sides are terrible. Cole slaw tastes sour. Only place I've ever had dry Mac and cheese. Where's the cheese?? Might as well go to KFC and get their grilled chicken. Better and their sides taste better. I've eaten there multiple times to give multiple chances and it's the same every time. Staff isn't friendly either. Act like you are inconveniencing them by coming in. read more

Great local place. Quarter chicken charbroiled with many side options. Can also get wraps and salads of chicken that has been pulled off the bone. I usually get the 1/2 bird dinner, that comes with two sides (you can choose) along with a warmed pita bread and honey butter. Have only been here for lunch, but they have the same menu for dinner as well. Place is clean and non pretentious. Just straight forward good honest food and hard working individuals. read more

Yummy is the word! Service is quick and personalized. I would definitely go back there, I can add it would be my favorite go to Dinner plan ! While I am in Midland. The food was well cooked - well served and well priced. They have a drive thru as well read more

Food: chix tasty, but a little dry Value: $12 for 2 breasts and 2 indiv. mashed potatoes is high. The individual potatoes were about 1/3C (5 TBL) and they tasted like those dried buds you get a whole pkg for $2 at Aldi, which amts to 8c! For $4 more, you could go to a nice sit down restaurant w linen tablecloths. read more

I had the three piece meal and two sides. Food was mediocre. Could get the same quality and more quantity from the deli at Kroger at a lower cost. Service was, as a few others have noted, rude and irritated. C'mon man, you make chicken not artwork, no need for the attitude. read more

It's too bad the staff is extremely rude otherwise I wouldn't mind coming here more often. The chicken is good and reminds me of a pollo tropical. But I really don't like the way the staff makes the place feel which is why they might want to consider getting a better staff. The environment is very uncomfortable and unsettling it makes sense why the place is always empty and no one eats in. read more

Not very impressed with their food. Although their chicken is very flavorful, their side items are bland and boring. Additionally, I find it funny how their claim they use no oil or grease in preparing their chicken but then offer you a side of butter to slather on your pita. I wish there were more exciting and healthier side items (e.g. Hummus, an exciting side salad, etc.) read more

Great place! The food is awesome! I tried a whole bunch of items and I liked all of them. It looks a little on the cheap side but other than that, there's nothing wrong with this place! read more

Stopped in to grab dinner for the family, line is 5-6 customers deep with one person working. I asked if he was there by himself, he said no, there are 2 people in back. Slow service, he made a few things wrong and had to redo due to rushing. Why not get the other people to help. Last time I tried to go, got there at 5:55pm on a Sunday, they were closed! Doubt I'll ever be back! read more

Employees are rude, staff ignored me when I asked if I can get a couple extra butter. After I just spent $35.00 on my food, I asked for a 2nd time if I can get extra butter and asked why are they ignoring me. Then states it will be .50 cents. Pretty sad to not only ignore me but then try to charge me .50 cents after I just spent $35.00. I will never go to Saginaw Yaya's again. read more

Absolutely the best All natural chicken flame broiled is totally YUMMY. You must try this. I promise you will keep coming back again and again. Wondering owners. Clean and pleasant read more

I don't usually write reviews but really have been having a good experience in this place for a while now and figured I should share. The food is good and the menu quite extensive. Every time my family and I come here, Derek is the one who helps us. His professionalism and super pleasant Behavior is what's driving me to write this review. We have been so pleased with his customer service. He always takes the time to explain the menu, gives advise, always has a nice word to say, remembers faces, and deals great with our no-always-so-cute 2-year-old. We have all been very impressed and my kid loves him. I hope his hard work and success at giving Yaya's a positive image are recognized. read more

The most disappointing Chicken Dinner I've ever had. Over cooked chicken, not offered dressing for salad & no small cups for kids soft drink (given a plain styro cup for water w/ no lid) Pita bread seemed unusual w/ a chicken dinner & was cold. On a positive note the staff was kind & the mashed potatoes were tasty. read more

bad customer service, the worker was rude and made me feel as if I was a nuisance to him. after I ordered I asked and paid for an extra dressing and it was not given to me. they also did not put croutons in my salad and my friend and I got the same salad but mine didn't have croutons. overall my experience sucked. read more
