Herm H Visiting Yakima, came for dinner and it was so good I came back again. There is a specials menu that changes daily, and the regular menu items are fantastic as well. I didnt realize it, but on Wednesday happy hour runs all day, which let me get a nice appetizer. My one complaint is that the short ribs were still kind of cold when they got to me - I understand that they are all premade since they braise them for quite a while, but it would have been nice to make sure that they were fully heated up before serving.

Dawn Jeator Very nice and professional experience! The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and offered a seat right away. Yesterday was my husbands birthday, and even though I didn’t mention it until we were about to leave, they still surprised us with a free dessert. My husband, who usually doesn’t like attention or people knowing it’s his birthday, was genuinely excited. He even said we should tip extra and we did! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout. They brought out the Mexican hat too, and I was so happy to get a picture of him wearing it—well, happy that he let me take picture, lol.

John Hillyard Was told this was a staple of Yakima and that I had to try it. I was not disappointed at all the food was amazing the portion sizes were huge for the price. I got a double-miner burger, tots, and shake. The food was hot and well cooked. I will be back for more for sure while I stay here.

Brian Babcock Overall very good. The service was excellent and even though it was busy, our food came out quickly and good temp. The salsa and verde were a little odd compared to some other places we have been. Good portion size for the price and many of the dishes that were served around us smelled and looked really good.

Ashley Carrizales We had a wonderful experience and I wish I remembered our waiters name. She was nothing short of amazing. Food was absolutely delicious. Hardly a wait. Front staff were a little slower at greeting, a group of staff talking amongst themselves before acknowledging us. This restaurant is great for any occasion.

Macy Nuñez Our server Jesse was amazing! Steak salad was delicious and full of flavor. Definitely having dinner here again

Ciara Banks We stopped here because my kids love the cartoon Bobs Burgers -obviously its not affiliated but they thought it was cool. Great service and great food! Were from a different state so we didnt know where to go, this was a good selection. Also the robot employee was a fun surprise!!

Cathy Bilderback We just moved to Yakima and have been looking for a comfortable place to have a nice breakfast in an inviting atmosphere. For us, we found it at Mels Diner! Friendly, smiling staff. Nostalgic 60s atmosphere. Breakfast was delightful. We cant wait to go back and try their lunch. Give Mels a try. We dont think youll be disappointed.

Madison Schaefer We had a fantastic experience at Yakima Steak Company for our Christmas work dinner. I made a reservation for 10, and the owner couldn’t have been more accommodating from start to finish. Communication was excellent — he sent confirmations and made sure everything was set up perfectly for our group. While we were there, we were treated incredibly well and truly felt taken care of. The food was great, the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and the prime rib was a huge hit at our table. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend Yakima Steak Company for group dinners or special occasions.

Jason Webster Went for the Sushi. First time here and I was not disappointed. Ive seen more options before but what they had was great for the price. Plenty to pick from and all were tasty. Lunch was $15.99 a person, I believe the sign said 20.99 for dinner.

Benjamin Dugger Food was great, albeit a little spendy compared to other places with similar options. Service was a little slow but extremely friendly, until shift change where we were forgotten about and never checked on by new waitress, but its whatevs. Overall very great place and vibe. Definitely will go back.

John Prieto Nice to find a place that you feel that you are a local when youre sitting and eating and enjoying your time all from work. I bought a skillet, and it was actually very, very good. Thank you to all that was working that day.
