I really liked this place, solid for breakfast, jalapeño cheese curds were really good too. Waitress was nice, only down side is the place is cash only, they did have an ATM when you walked in but otherwise no complaints. I do wish their build your own omelette allowed me to pick more veggies than just two, especially if I'm doing a veggie before the upcharge kicks in read more

Not happy with service at all,been in there twice since they have new owner .First they change there time to 1:30,even tho it sayes2:00.The waitress needs to be trained better,or leave.I asked for butter on the side with my meal ,and she would not stop telling me the toast has butter and would not stop talking about it!The waitresses were talking so loud, I could hardly hear my husband ,then she was talking about farts, good subject when I'm eating!It has changed to much,The waitress both need to learn how to talk to people and remember there on a job,there not at home!Not going back!! read more

It's been some five years since my last stop here for breakfast. It's not close to home anymore for me. Service and breakfast was excellent! Coffee mug stayed full. Potatoes were well done as requested but not dried out. Worth the stop! read more

Yuni's Avenue Cafe - Denver omelette extra cheese and well done American potatoes as requested - Sandwiches Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

Best breakfast in Racine! Best scrambled eggs, fat sausages, omelets, American fries, and service.

New owners! Major upgrade in decor & menu! Yuni's has a new life with the same great service. I had the house breakfast tacos. They were just right. Give them a try. read more

Very quaint, super friendly, an all American diner! As we walked in, one of the customers sitting at a table greeted us very friendly-ly. We didn't know until after we were seated, when he got up, that he was actually the owner (probably the owner? or at least manager). He walks around the restaurant and sits with random customers. It is obvious that there is a very good return customer base here. Very friendly, neighborhood-ly vibe, that makes all food taste better. read more

This place was a great restaurant years ago ,but the last 2 owners haven't lived up to the original one. That being said it still has kelly. That alone is a reason to go there .Real sweetheart read more

Great little place. We had breakfast there. Huge portions and friendly service. Currently it is cash only so please keep that in mind.

Very good waitress, kept our coffee cups filled, and was very friendly. Food was excellent, and I felt, really reasonable price wise! Very clean restaurant! read more

Ok the left we have a rib-eye steak skillet. With american fries. The portion was extremely big. The steak was cooked perfect. I loved the option of having the american fries in stead of hash browns. Eggs over easy cooked perfect. Definitely order this again. On the right is a spinach and feta omelette. One of my favorites to order at a restaurant. There was no skimping on the feta cheese or spinach! Cooked perfect. I don't like am omelet over cooked (brown eggs)Feta was melted perfect. My favorite american fries were cooked just like I like them. Love the food! During this pandemic it's important to support the service industry! read more

Alway good food but can be super busy. Cash only !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AmericanBig Breakfast

Excellent homemade fried chicken sandwich and eggs Benedict ! However all of their food is excellent!!!

Food was great. Tasted like homemade, fresh and made when ordered. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars was the wait. We were a party of 5, it took them 50 minutes to bring half of the food, the other had to wait another 10 minutes to get their plate. I had eggs and ham. The eggs were buttery and the ham was a big portion and cooked to perfection. Friendly staff, we were seated right away. Definitely will come back. read more

I live literally two blocks away from Yuni's, but today's visit was only my second time here. I'll definitely make a point to get back here more whenever we are in need of a classic "diner" style breakfast. Yes, the decor isn't anything special, but I think that's reflected in the "Good lord, how cheap!?" prices: most everything was less than $8, and they also offered a "mini" size portion of their skillets (which are about 2/3rds the size of a regular one) for a smaller price. Food was good, the waitress was friendly, and I left very full and satisfied. Two things to remember: 1) The place is "seat yourself." If you stand at the door long enough (like we did), another customer will most likely tell you to grab your own seat. 2) They don't take any kinds of credit. CASH ONLY. I guess this shouldn't be a deal-breaker, but in this day and age it's not something most people would expect. Again, I assume they do this to keep their prices down. They have an ATM in the foyer, although I don't know how much of a fee is charged (if any). read more

I'm Polish + I like Polish Sausage = Ordered the Kielbasa Skillet Ask for Swiss instead of American cheese... it's melted heaven Get the italian bread for toast... it's like having garlic bread for breakfast. Brilliant! Ordered my eggs over hard and they were PERFECT. I don't like my yolks runny, but most places overcook the eggs until they are hard, dried and burned but not Yuni's. They know what they are doing! Hashbrowns were abundant and perfectly mixed with the green peppers :-) OTHER INFO Wisconsin sized portion sizes so you won't leave hungry Cash Only Seat yourself Total Bill for 2 Kielbasa Skillets and 2 cups of coffee = $18 This restaurant has won the best breakfast award in the county in '07 '09 '10 '11 & '12 and I can see why. The next time we return to Racine, this is our breakfast spot! read more

The grub was solid. Good portions and great prices. The bb pancakes had tons of berries, without all that corn syrupy compote crud. The mexican skillet rocked the house. The service is good too. I'll be back. read more

Who's the cook? Your mama and papa! The cook makes the best soft/medium fried eggs, scrumptious hash browns, tasty crispy bacon, breakfast burrito, French toast. I wish the coffee had a richer balance and flavor. Sorry if I sound like a coffee snob. I just would like a great cup of coffee with a great tasting breakfast. Staff is very very friendly. ****CASH ONLY**** ******************* Come early and eat fried eggs! The chickens won't mind. Free coffee refills Take home offered only on left over food, not the plates. Recommended before work! read more

Great food & friendly staff! Clean & quaint! What more can you ask for. One of our families favorite places!

Wow! Best breakfast around. The scrambled eggs are so fluffy. My waitress, Kelly, was the best ever. So helpful and accommodating. You are missing out if you don't stop. read more

Wonderful breakfast spot! It's always busy but if you can get a spot the food is great. Staff is also very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend giving them a shot especially these days places like this need all the support from the community we can give. read more

I have friends and family that go to Yuni's every Saturday morning. Sometimes I go along if I am not working or otherwise busy. The service from Kelly the waitress is great. I might think that I only get good service from her because I am with a group of weekly regulars but for the articles and reviews posted on the wall at the restaurant. Yuni's (and Kelly specifically) have won many "Best of Racine (Racine Journal Times)" awards over the years, and with good reason. The food is good; it is exactly what I expect from a diner. The cooks never seem to have a problem cooking to order: "Blacken my toast; my bacon should oink; easy on the onions," etc. This is greasy spoon diner fare as it should be. Definitely the best diner food I've had in Racine. Note that Yuni's is CASH ONLY. No checks. No credit. Just cash. read more

Was in town visiting a friend and i left at school to teach for the day and decided to head into town and have breakfast here. The waitress was so friendly and polite. I asked her a couple of questions to help me get around town and she was very helpful. I ordered a big breakfast that a 4 egg omelette which was cooked perfectly and the coffee was great too. read more

This place is adorable. Family owned, small and we go every other weekend! The food is fantastic, the servers are wonderful and it has a homey feel to it. This last trip I asked my boyfriend to jump up and grab the door for a man with a Walker and a few minutes later an extra order of French toast showed up at our table from the chef. Idk if those two things are correlated but either way the atmosphere of this place is wonderful. Hands down my favorite breakfast place around! read more

Stopped by Yuni's on the 4th of July when my bf and I were up there for Summerfest. Delicious breakfast place, breakfast served all day! I ordered a create-your-own-omelette option that they had and threw in ham, mozzarella, onion, and mushrooms. YumYum! There were hash browns served with my omelette and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not at all oily like how some breakfast places have their omelettes and hash browns. I also ordered OJ, which was almost $3 for a small glass. IT's not really worth it to be honest, so wouldn't get that unless you were desperate for your OJ fix. My BF got a chicken tender omelette, which had tender grilled chicken strips inside. I thought it was going to be those battered and fried strips so I was skeptical in the beginning. Turns out to be quite nice. He also got hash browns and wheat toast with his order as well. Overall, the experience was pretty good in terms of food. In terms of service, even though they got an award for good service, I didn't feel particularly welcomed by the staff or anything of that sort. I think me an my BF got a waitress that was not very into interacting with a customer which can happen at any dining place. read more

Voted Best of Racine for breakfast and server for two years running. I ordered the ham skillet which is hash browns with ham, onions and green peppers topped with cheese underneath two eggs done your way and two slices of toast. It was a very good size portion. It could've used more peppers and ham but had plenty of cheese (hey, we are in Wisconsin). Hash browns were browned perfectly for my liking. The skillet and endless coffee cost just over $8. Service was fine. Food came out quickly. Coffee cup was always full. Just a note, this is a cash-only business so plan ahead. read more

First of all, Charles B. that just gave a bad review has no idea what he is talking about. They serve their food fast because they are efficient. The cooks, i think, are amazing. I have been going there for years, literally hundreds of times and I have NEVER had a bad meal or experience. Ever! The service is exceptional and Kelly is by far the best waitress I have ever had, just like everyone says. The burgers are amazing as well as the rest of the menu. Yuni is very interactive with the patrons as well, which is nice. It's one if my favorite places in Racine. You all should try it, I promise you will love it. Sincerely, Lifetime customer Kevin R read more

This restaurant has always been a favorite of mine for 20 maybe even 30years, even when the namesake Yuni owned it. This morning I stopped and ordered breakfast, and it was good as usual. I was finished and ready to leave, in fact I had just given the amazing waitress "kelly" my money. All of the sudden all hell broke loose in the kitchen, the owner Dean had some sort of melt down and temper tantrum. He screamed at kelly to "LOCK THE DOORS I AM DONE" and proceeded to throw things. He threw kitchen utensils towards the ordering window, and as I was sitting in the first booth I was scared that a knife was coming out of the kitchen. As it was the pots or plates he was throwing like a 2 year old splashed we with other customers food and drinks from their used and dirty dishes. So much for trying to be safe in a covid environment! I have never witnessed anything like this in a public place before, I hope to never experience it again. it is now 4 hours later and my stomach is still upset from that display. What ever Dean may be going thru, I hope he gets help before some one gets hurt. As for me, I will NEVER go into that restaurant again as long as Dean owns it. The restaurant had approximately 25 people in it and was cleared out in a matter of minutes. I got my change from my 20 left Kelly a tip and left/ in hindsight I should have told her i was not paying for that food as it will no longer digest, and it is ruined. read more

It's a diner with all the offerings of a diner. The waitress Kelly was great, which is why she won best waitress of 2012, or something like that. Ordered the spicy chicken wrap with fries, and a senior sandwich and soup special. The food is cheap but the prices were a little high. I'll stick to going to Douglas Diner, or Roberts Roost for diner style food. The cafe passed out fresh baked cookies that I thought was a nice touch. read more

Ok, I am not a local and upon first glance (or first visit) this place seems a bit quirky. The tables in the middle are so close together it is like eating with other families but, that is kind of the charm of this place. Don't leave, join in the family atmosphere. The wait staff has been there forever and they seem to know everyone and everyone knows them. Now, let me tell you about the food. I am from the South and I have been searching for great biscuits and gravy with no luck until Yuni's. OMG it is FABULOUS!!! It is 100% homemade, just like momma used to make. YUM! The bacon is thick and good (not the cheap stuff) and the eggs are made to order. Don't rush through breakfast, sit back and enjoy the food and the people. I can see why it is a local favorite. read more

AMAZING SKILLET! I ordered the Mexican Bandido Skillet and loved it. Food came out hot and quickly. Hash browns came out crispy not soggy just the way I like it. Our server Kellie was courteous and friendly. I will definitely come back for more. read more

I have been frequenting Yuni's a few times a week for over a year now. The staff and ownership are involved with your dining experience to ensure you have a great meal. I have never had a bad plate of food. It has always been exactly what I was hoping for. They always accommodate any of our special requests as well if there is a dietary restriction in our party. I can't say enough about how great Yuni's is and will continue to be. Give Yuni's a shot, you will not be disappointed. Friendly staff, great food, and an all around great experience. read more

This restaurant was rated best breakfast in Racine, WI, how it won that title mystifies me. It is a very small place decor was ok, and the staff was very friendly. The servers were quick with the coffee and my cup never went empty. I ordered steak and eggs and it was way below average. The potatoes were straight out of a bag, my eggs were under cooked, my toast was old bread that was toasted, super dry and finally my small cut of steak had so much grease in it that by the time I cut it all out I had about 3 bites worth of meat. BTW they only take cash. I am sorry but I have an attachement for my iphone if I need to take a card for something. If you are a food truck or a remotely located restraunt I cna see only taking cash. But this was next door to a huge shopping area. Not going back. read more

Best skillets in town. Get the Wisconsin ave or the kielbasa. Cash only!!

Great small little business. Went there for the first time and absolutely loved the chocolate chip pancakes & mixed fruit. Scrambled eggs seemed a bit odd, thin & rubbery. Service & everything else was great though. read more

Excellent breakfast. I don't think they take credit cards so make sure you bring cash. Food and service were excellent.
