Backwoods Country Fare Cafe

Great food Dora is always our waitress she is so friendly. I love coming here and eating everything so fresh I feel like I am eating an actual home cooked breakfast! I always get a jalapeño on the side with the logger skillet

There are Restaurants you go to because the food is excellent and every thing you order is just as good or better than the last dish.
It is unfortunately not the case
w/​Backwoods Café.

Stale taste

Because they now what’s best for you.
Baby red potatoes on menu but received undercooked (raw) russet quartered potatoes.
Over cooked eggs,
scrambled and over easy.
I don’t intend on spending nearly $ 35.00 for two people on Breakfast having to falg someone for coffee or pop refil and still feeling so disrespected by a Restaurant that claims to be all about fresh food and its customers.
Don’t tell me its homemade if I can walk into a commercial food warehouse and purchase that same product in bulk.

Just stopped in for breakfast took 25 minutes just to be seated five waitresses and only one could take your order had to leave couldn’t wait while the waitress had to finish something in the kitchen before she could take our order. The other wait staff just stood around. I don’t recommend!

Food was decent, nothing spectacular. Large portions. Pretty affordable. Busy, but didn’t take long to get seated. Staff is friendly.

The French Toast was great and the plate was big enough to split. Décor is very dated, and staff is a bit over bearing. Its good for what it is and whats around…

I stopped in here for lunch, had the mountain man burger. It was just okay. Not as big as I was expecting, especially for the price. However, the veggies were fresh. The fries tasted like the frozen crinkle cut variety.
The servers were very friendly.
After I ordered I noticed that the rest of the crowd was having breakfast dishes. Looks like that’s the safe bet here.

Ordered the Chorizo and it was burnt. I spoke with the host only to hear «it’s made like that». They kept trying to explain to me why it looked burned even though I explained it was the taste that was my issue. My server finally apologized and took the Chorizo off my check. There was also a large amount of wait time and no seating area to wait.

Biscuits and gravy were amazing. Busy place but no line. Even on a Sunday morning! I recommend checking this place out!

The staff at Backwoods are very accommodating and charming. The food was so good! I highly recommend the skillets as well.
Would give it 6 stars if I could

as noted in other reviews, the service was needlessly slow. They need to staff more responsibly in order to meet the rush. This is an avoidable issue.
Food was ok, but just that. Nothing I couldn’t make at home.

The service here is pretty terrible. I don’t like to lay blame because it was clearly understaffed, but if the location is that busy during a Friday morning you’d think they might hire some more people. I had the oatmeal and my friends had eggs and bacon and biscuits. Everything was fine, but the fact that we waited 15 minutes to have our order taken and 20 minutes to get coffee made the experience less plesant. That being said, any morning experience is less pleasant when I haven’t had coffee yet: P

This is a simple place with good food and a friendly staff. Prices are good as well.
If it was for the quality of the food alone, maybe this would be a 3-​star review. But the whole package fits together well: the friendliness, authenticity, simplicity.
We keep going back there when we visit Yakima coming from Seattle. Nice to have the relaxed atmosphere in contrast with the urban places we’re used to.

I love good good with FRESH ingredients that are made to order. With special eating requirements, it can be hard to find restaurants that will accommodate what I need (dairy/​gluten/​soy/​sugar free) but they made me breakfast EXACTLY how I needed it — scrambled eggs with no butter and red potatoes& onions with no butter as well as fresh hand made pico.
She also gave me half of her personal avocado because they didn’t have any at the restaurant. Talk about MAKING MY DAY. I plan to ALWAYS come back here, especially for breakfast. love Good customer service!

The exterior isn’t much to look at (it’s in a strip mall) but the food is tasty! Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and the staff was friendly and attentive. A good little spot to grab some breakfast/​brunch.

Holy yes! Breakfast done right! They took such good care of me. As i can be a needy customer ha. But they are incredible. Dora is an amazing women. Coming from Portland this place was such a great find. Yakima is lucky to have This place. Please stop here if you’re driving through or if you wake up and want someone else to worry about the cooking. Great time!
