I got the banana blitz crepe and it was so delicious/filling!! The waitress was very friendly and efficient serving us and meeting any needs we had. We will be returning in the near future read more

2nd time I ate here first time was good. This time not this time so much. Got their corned beef hash and side hash brown. The hash browns tasted watery and so did the hash no real corn beef flavor. read more

It makes me sad to say but these guys have really dropped in quality over the years. Covid didn't help with that either but I think if you were one of the lucky ones to have survived Covid as a business, your service should reflect your gratitude. The service has been really rough the last few times we've been. I've been a faithful customer for many years but I think it's time for a new place. read more

The blintzes and crepes are really really good, definitely a must.. Unfortunately I just watched an employee bully another employee right in front of me and I'm pretty disappointed because it was unprofessional and unwarranted...I let the girl being disrespected know she wasn't at fault.. I hope not to see that again because I really enjoy their food! read more

I'm in town for 2 days on business and arrived a little after 6 pm. I asked the girl at the Comfort Suites for a good restaurant near by and she suggested the Powerhouse Grill. I say thanks, as it turned out I had a great dinner. The place was packed and a funny aside, I'm 67 and had to laugh because other than the family of 5 across the dining room with 3 small kids, I was one of the younger one's in the room. I love that! I had the BBQ'd chicken special and it was really very good. It came with a fully loaded baked potato, cabbage, a salad, and a freshly baked roll at a very reasonable price (about $16.00). I also had a glass of a local red wine (sorry, I can't remember the name or the vineyard) that was wonderful for only $6.00! Even though they were super busy the service was surprisingly fast and my waitress was attentive and delightful. I was dining alone and she stopped by to check up on me a few times and was genuinely friendly. All in all, a great experience and a wonderful meal. I like fine dining and upscale restaurants. This isn't one of those. It's a cozy comfortable clean and casual place and the food is like home fixings and reminded me of the great meals Mom made when we were growing up. I'll be back! read more

I made the mistake of ordering the crepes here. I don't like cream cheese, and that's the only filling that they had for them, so I didn't get it. I also tend not to like artificial compotes, so I left that off, too. The crepes wound up being absolutely pathetic; tiny and flat, without even any whipped cream on top. They were gummy and flavorless. They reminded me of crepes in a package I've seen for sale at the grocery store. I wonder if they're even made in-house. The bacon and eggs were okay, and the English muffin was buttery, crispy, and delicious. It was a busy morning, but they had plenty of staff, and the service was fast and friendly. I don't know what's good to get here, but it's definitely not the crepes. read more

Powerhouse Grill food is always consistently good. Servers and friendly and efficient. Never have to wait long for our food. Good place to meet your friends. read more

this place used to be delicious and it was our Sunday go to. However no longer. They cannot get eggs right, I ask her over medium eggs and they always come with the white already. Today we were here just to give it one more try and hashbrowns after I asked for crispy came to me white and not cooked all the way! read more

Powerhouse Grill - a plate of food on a table - American Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Powerhouse Grill has an interior that reminds me of Denny's or a Shari's. My son and I each had a burger and fries and split a peanut-butter shake for lunch. The portions are not skimpy. Prices are reasonable. Menu has typical diner fare. Restaurant is clean with lots of natural daylight. Older clientele. Friendly waitress. Quick service. read more

Not only do I have to sing about the amazing carrot cake that Powerhouse bakes in house but the food was good! Based on the Yelp reviews, I was expecting Denny's or ihop. I was pleasantly surprised to feel like I was at a mom and pop diner. We met up with family that lives in E Wa at the powerhouse. There was a variety of orders from the six of us, from breakfast to dinner items - all well prepared with everyone commenting on how good their food was (including grandma who is very hard to please). The most amazing surprise came at the end when I ordered a piece of carrot cake to go (prior to that everyone said they could not fit dessert in). Once they saw my giant slice of carrot cake, everyone had to have a piece to take home. Oh my goodness this is the type of cake that you write home about! Four layer of coconut, carroty cake with cream cheese frosting layers between each amazing bite. Holy moly that cake was good! Oh and one piece will feed 3! read more

Ordered the pesto salmon with pasta. Fish was dry and pasta just had oil on it. Very bland. Uncle had a baked potato that wasn't cooked through. read more

Prior to today's experience I would have left a 5-star rating. Because of today's experience, I'm downgrading this to 3 stars. We live about 2 hours from Yakima but consistently stop at Powerhouse Grill for lunch when we're in the area. All of our previous experiences have been great. The restaurant is clean and the service is very good, and our food has always been fresh and cooked to perfection. Unfortunately, the food today was an exception. We ordered the spicy jalapeño burger with fries. To begin, the fries were so overcooked that they were very hard and crisp. The burgers were dry and there was no sign of jalapeños. The fries were replaced, but the burgers were too dry to eat more than a few bites. We'll be going back to Yakima in a few weeks. Because of previous experiences we will try Powerhouse Grill one more time. I'm truly hoping that today was an aberration. read more

We met my nephew and his girlfriend here. We ordered takeout and took it to the adjacent park to eat. My Shrimp Louie salad was good. The other three had burgers, and I heard no complaints. read more

Powerhouse grill is one of those places where you can always go to get an above average meal that you don't expect to be anything more than average. He used to be a Perkins and with in the last decade has become a more local version of Perkins. They serve the standard diner type fair and they do a good job at it. We tend to go here for breakfast and it's nice as one of the only places that is open at 6 AM. The seating situation is a large number of booths and tables, all of which will accommodate you and three or more of your closest friends. The waiters and waitresses here are always very friendly and many of them seem like the type that have been doing this for a long time, which is nice for a place that feels like a big diner. Overall it's a good spot to come grab breakfast or another meal with the buddies, and certainly a place that your grandparents would like. read more

First time patronizing this local place. Ordered from grub hub for birthday takeout. Paid 23$ for a 3.4 ounce piece of salmon and a bunch of fries. We called them and they said they would remake the order exactly the same, or give us a gift certificate for the cost. We ordered the surf and turf salad- the greens are 80% iceberg lettuce, the mushrooms were spoiled. We did call back a second time out of desperate disappointment from not getting our money's worth, and the owner took care of us; replacing the meals with full portions. The flavor and seasoning were quite tasty and the steak and fish were cooked perfectly. read more

Powerhouse Grill - Tarragon Salmon plank dinner, we weighed it to 3.4oz. Paid $22. Don't waste your money. Very rudely dealt with our complaint. - American Near Me - Yakima, Washington

The Powerhouse Grill was always our go to when we lived in Yakima. Visiting after being gone 7 years, we ate there and it was truly apparent that there has been changes and not in a good way. The food was barely mediocre and the service wasn't the best either. We had breakfast and it was far from great. Overcooked omelettes, undercooked sausage (raw) and strawberry crepes with cheap syrup all over it. Our waitress went on break in the middle of our meal and we never saw another one. And for crying out loud, a 6oz cup of water? Definitely not worth ever going again. read more

If your expecting a Denny's like local restaurant, this place is for you. If your thinking trendy, exciting environment look elsewhere. If your mom & dad want an inexpensive early dinner this is their place! Food was too salty. read more

The lady at the hotel recommended the place. Excellent service. Clam chowder was good. Had the halibut and chips, which were pretty darn good. Wife had the French dip, which she said was excellent. Had cherry and peach pie for dessert. Great meal. read more

Ordered a simple French dip with chips to go. They were not busy. I waited a good while for it to be prepare. It was the worse sandwich I have experienced in a while. Took it to share with my mother and neither of us could chew it. Both the fries and the sandwich were garbage. This is the third meal this year we got from them for take out that the dog got to enjoy. Not returning. read more

Would be nice if they let you know ahead of time there is a three drink limit. Otherwise great food and service

I really enjoyed going to this restaurant. The food was delicious. The service was very fast. Would recommend!

The place was quite busy at noon, so I wondered if the food would take awhile and how the service would be. The waitress did not seem frazzled at all by the crowd, and took our order with professionalism and kindness. The taco salads we ordered (not normally on the menu, a special) were very delicious and only took about 10 minutes. Not only that, but my order was a modification of the special -- I asked if instead of ground beef they could put the fajita salad in the shell. They agreed without question and didn't even charge extra. There were MASSIVE cakes in the front! If I wasn't on a diet I would have had to have a piece of that... it looked like a six layer chocolate cake. I'm kind of regretting having not tried it. They had a lot of good deserts in the front in general. So yeah, I'd recommend if you're looking for substance instead of dazzle. Or a really huge piece of cake. read more

Powerhouse Grill is our place to go the food is delicious the wait staff is very attentive the restaurant is very clean my boyfriend and I had an early dinner there yesterday I had the seafood sampler plate with a baked potato and the Caesar salad with shrimp my boyfriend had the halibut fish and chips very very delicious the salad was fresh and crisp baked potato was cooked to perfection fish absolutely amazing and the chips very very good you never get a chance to go to powerhouse Grill you will not be disappointed. read more

The look of the restaurant could use a remodel but the food is okay! The staff are always friendly and quick!

I hate to do this but had an unpleasant breakfast. Ordered eggs Benedict with red potatoes and coffee. Let's start with they don't ask if you want a mug of coffee. You get a thermos for 3.15. I didn't finish first mug. Ham is REALLY salty. Potatoes weren't done and not sure what seasoning was but not good. Eggs were hard and Benedict sauce was off. Sorry don't go here for eggs Benedict and potatoes read more

How difficult is eggs Benedict to make? My request for this classic breakfast was a disappointing event. The eggs were over poached as the yolks were soft solidified and the hollandaise sauce was quite bland lacking a rich flavor. It was edible and I was hungry so instead of sending it back and possibly embarrassing my friends I ate it. Should have ordered simple scrambled eggs. Dissatisfied customer. read more

Spending a week here at the comfort inn and was looking forward to having a good restaurant nearby. First of all, the food was decent. But that's all I can say. Service sucked. Server gave me my check then went on break. After that, I was invisible. That was halfway through my meal. No more refills for me. No "Would you like a to-go box?" Made eye contact with several different servers but nothing. Eventually I went and got my own box out of the back area. Nobody even questioned it. No tip for you. read more

good food and great service. clean. will visit again when in town

Trying to find a breakfast diner in a town we aren't familiar with. Using my trusty Yelp app this was third on my list after the other 2 were a bust. After a short wait we were seated in a crowded dining area. Decent seating. Meal: we both got the chicken fried steak and loaded hash brown. Food was flavorful, moderately proportioned and service seemed overwhelmed but friendly. Only drinking water I was empty a few times so I marked a star for parchment. I would have left with 4 stars but I must say they are pretty proud of their Coors light bottles cause my fiancé paid $5 for one, so there was another star. Will I go back? Only for necessity it is not anything different from Sherie's. Nothing special, nothing to dislike. Just meh. read more

Great service. Great food. Hot Meatloaf sandwich the best! Even when they busy you still get your food quickly. Love this place!

Good food with good prices. Place is always busy. Lots to choose from , a good family restaurant with fast friendly service

We decided to go after not being here for a while. Their food is tasty and worth the price. Although this visit was marred by their service. While waiting for our order to arrive, I opened my rolled up napkin that holds the silverware. I noticed that the spoon had dried food on it. Once I had the waitresses' attention, I told her that she should let the dishwasher know about it. She looked at the spoon, took it, mumbled that it was on the Hostess to notice that kind of thing. She walked off without any further comment. After finishing up our meal, we asked for a to go box. She came back and plopped it on our table and walked off without so much as a smile or any form of acknowledgement. Not the way to make a customer feel like returning any time soon. read more

Ate here about a week ago, I had a burger and a milkshake. Both where great, and the milkshake really hit the spot with how hot it was that day. The service was excellent even though they where semi-busy. Either way Ignore the bad reviews and make your own decision bout this eatery. I'd eat here again and order something light just to have some of those deserts you see at the counter. read more

Always great food and great service! Lunch salads are always very good. Typically, a senior clientele is what I have observed. I recommend! This isn't a fancy place. It is where the locals eat. read more

Typically i would enjoy trying somewhere new, this spot looked very sleek, after letting 3 older couples get seated in-front of me i was seated. Menu choices were very nice, like an old styled grill, like this establishment is based from. I ordered the "Build your own Appetizer" 5 for $15, i ordered 2 samples of the "Spicy Boneless Wings" as that was the only wing choice on the sample, Zucchini Chips, Mozzarella Sticks as any normal person would! and lastly a order of the Calamari. I ordered the "Mini Corndogs" with a side of fries for my younger brother and a side of "Garlic Parmesan Fries" for the both of us if we were still hungry. We were intrigued by the big cakes and pies in the glass case as you enter, they were HUGE! Our food arrived to the table. My younger brother starts to enjoy his meal, he says his corn dogs are cold, so i feel them and they are room temperature and not warm or anything! The fries as well! I offered some of my food from my plate and our fries we ordered also. Again, he says the mozzarella sticks are cold! thats 3 out of 8 items that are cold, THAT WE JUST HAD DELIVERED TO THE TABLE, the only items that were "Warm" were the Zucchini chips! Everything else was either room temperature or still cold! The Zucchini chips, mozzarella sticks, mini corn dogs and Calamari all tasted like they were cooked in the same pot of grease at the same time! Service was terrible! Never once were we asked if the food was "okay" or "good" we were not checked on after the food was delivered, we left more than half of our food on the plate and paid. We were not asked if we "enjoyed" our meal or anything! Even after leaving a lot of food on the plates! I do not recommend this establishment, if you want some food for cheaper than this that tastes better, you're better off going to McDonald's! read more

Even at 11 on a Sunday morning, they can still accommodate a group of 9 within 10 minutes. I like that. I also like that they give you a whole carafe of coffee and water for the table. I also like how the waitress asked me if I was a 'big eater' and then directed me to the 'Senior and Lighter Fare' menu when I said I wasn't. I got basically the same breakfast, except in only-partially-disgusting portions (that equals 2 pancakes, one egg, one bacon, and one sausage, in case you're wondering) for only $6. Everyone else I was with had awesome breakfasts also. Eggs benedict, french toast, omelets, polish sausage, and chicken fried steak all graced the table, and I would have been happy to eat all of it. I also would have been happy to eat any or all of the desserts in the case, but sadly my senior citizen appetite didn't leave room. All I know is that never before and probably never again will I see a bigger chocolate cake. read more

I don't appreciate the response from management about my Yelp review either saying my husband was aquatinted with the staff members and that's why I got the service I got. My husband is NOT acquainted with the staff. No one deserves bad service period! There's no excuse for it. Retrain your staff. Stop making excuses and fix your business! I was going to give the restaurant another chance but no never again! read more

Oh boy. This is just a Sharis or Denny's with a different name. When we walked in and tuna casserole was on special- we should have known. Slowwwww service. And then there was the food-- so awful. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and sweet potato fries. If there were 10 fries on my plate I would be surprised. The burger was way over cooked. To even make it edible I had to cover it in ranch to be able to swallow it. Hard as a hockey puck. My husband ordered corn beef hash, he will literally eat this anywhere and said that it was awful. With our two little ones with us- they each got a kids meal, I wish I could have gotten a kids meal! They included sides and a huge cookie for $5.50. For $50 with the tip included this is not "affordable" as some have called it. Not good, never again. read more

Have lived here in Yakima just three years and only went in last week and again just last night. We enjoyed everyone working they were very kind and most attentive. The food was excellent, my husband had the salmon dinner and I had the breakfast taco. So yummy! read more
