The Best Mac & Cheese You’re Gonna Eat in Yakima According to Locals

You can't eat just anybody's mac and cheese. I learned that the hard way. I actually had to spit out the first bite of mac & cheese I tasted at a popular buffet place in town--it was deplorable. Too many times, ordering mac and cheese in a restaurant leaves me sorely disappointed.

I said all that to say, when I find a place that has mac and cheese so yummy, I start dancing, I have to rave about it. In Yakima, sadly this is a rare experience, found only in a handful of restaurants, Don't just take my word for it; these facts are backed up by other Yakima locals.

The perfect mac and cheese noodles are not overcooked and mushy, doesn't taste like a glass of water (ew, gross), and has to be very, very cheesy! It also needs to look good in the bowl.
